Canadians "scared" to cross border now, Washington state business says

U.S. businesses that depend on Canadian customers are feeling the pinch of less cross-border traffic.

“So right now, we’re at a plateau at 60 per cent down revenue,” Josie Frodert, manager of the Ship 49 parcel service in Blaine, Wash., said.

She said they are also hearing from their customers, saying they are scared to cross the border.

“They’re scared to come over and then they don’t want to pay the tariffs going back,” she said. “That’s huge.”
