Report: Ontario's auto industry could lose thousands of jobs this year due to US trade war.

Report: US tariffs and Canada 's retaliatory measures could cause up to 68,100 job losses in 2025 .

Figure could rise to 119,200 jobs lost in 2026 and 137,900 by 2029 if trade restrictions remain in place.

Among the hardest-hit areas would be Windsor, Guelph , Brantford and the Waterloo Region .

A rollback of tariffs could moderate the damage, but escalation would likely deepen the downturn.

Ontario has historically run trade deficits with the US — averaging $8 billion annually from 2013 to 2024 , with a $4-billion deficit recorded last year .

Frise warned that the auto sector’s struggles could quickly ripple through the broader economy.
