Canada’s oil patch rattled by Trump's tariff threat

In Canada's oil-rich province of Alberta, there is a deep sense of unease over President-elect Donald Trump's threat to impose a 25% tariff on Canadian goods.
 
Canadian politicians and energy experts are warning the hefty tariff would have dire consequences for the economy of America's northern neighbour and hike prices on US consumers.
 
Trump announced on Monday that, upon taking office in January, he would slap an across-the-board tariff on Mexico and Canada with no suggestion that would exclude oil and gas.
