Supply-chain Risk Briefing

1. Summary

On March 14, 2025, approximately 15 people held a small-scale peaceful protest against President Trump's tariff policies in the town of Elbow, Saskatchewan, Canada. Currently classified as low-intensity protest activity with no direct supply-chain disruptions, but represents a regional reflection of US-Canada trade tensions.

2. Supply-chain impact

• Agriculture sector: Saskatchewan is a major Canadian grain production region, with potential impacts on wheat and canola exports if trade disputes escalate
• Energy resources: If the region's oil sands and uranium resources become subject to US tariffs, changes in North American energy supply chains are expected
• Transportation networks: Currently no logistics disruptions, but concerns over indirect impacts on major border crossings or rail networks if anti-tariff protests spread
• Manufacturing linkages: Need to monitor tariff ripple effects in integrated Canada-US manufacturing supply chains (automotive, lumber, etc.)

3. Watch points

• Protest spread: Whether anti-tariff protests expand to other Canadian regions, particularly additional protest activities in major border cities or industrial areas
• Government response: Impact of Canadian federal government changes to US trade policy or announcement of retaliatory tariff measures on regional public opinion and logistics activities
