He says now they'll both go back to their respective councils and share their findings
Prescott Mayor Gauri Shankar says his meeting with Ogdensburg, New York Mayor Mike Tooley to talk about working together during a difficult time for Canada/US relations, went well.
He says now they'll both go back to their respective councils and share their findings. They'll try to come up with something they can work on together.
The Mayor notes his counterpart says the retail losses from a lack of cross border shopping is hitting both sides hard.
The Buy Canadian movement since the beginning of Donald Trump's Trade War has seen fewer Canadians choosing the States as a retail destination.
The addition of tariffs and increased fees at duty-free shops has also been a deterrent for long-term cross-border shoppers.
