good on his campaign promise to impose duties of between 10 per cent and 20 per cent on all imported goods. Such a tariff could cost the Canadian economy about $30 billion per year in total, according to a Canadian Chamber of Commerce report in October.<\/p>\n<p>Trump\u2019s inauguration is still a couple of months away \u2014 he officially takes office on Jan. 20 \u2014 but fishermen are trying to take the threat in stride while preparing for the season to open on Nov. 25.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople are concerned, but until it happens, we\u2019ll just carry on,\u201d Geoff Irvine, executive director of the Lobster Council of Canada, said. \u201cThere\u2019s not a lot we can do to prepare, and speculating on what it could mean doesn\u2019t really get us anywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Besides being the country\u2019s most lucrative lobster fishery area, it\u2019s also the largest. The region includes two licenced fishing areas (LFA 33 and LFA 34), one of which stretches from the Halifax region along the southwestern coast while the other is off the province\u2019s western edge.<\/p>\n<p>The two areas are by far the country\u2019s biggest producers, accounting for about a third of the $1.5-billion worth of lobsters caught in Canada a year. Nearly 1,700 boats and more than 5,000 fishermen fish these waters.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<div class=\"js-widget-content article-content__widget-group article-content__widget-group--content-slot16 article-content__widget-group--newsletter-slot\">\n<section class=\"newsletter-widget__new-story-page fp-headlinenews background--primary-light-gradient\" aria-labelledby=\"FinancialPostTopStories3039077161792962343981295542992896\" data-account-id=\"b9d3df2fccd108b5eff3c44f573b2cd6\" data-aqa=\"widget-newsletter\" data-newsletter=\"single\" data-newsletter-component=\"\" data-target-list=\"FP_HeadlineNews\" data-widget=\"newsletter\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-new-story-page-template\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-widget__header__new-story-page\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-widget__banner__new-story-page\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/ywAAAAAAQABAAACAUwAOw==\" fifu-lazy=\"1\" fifu-data-sizes=\"auto\" fifu-data-srcset=\"https:\/\/dcs-static.gprod.postmedia.digital\/17.4.2\/websites\/images\/newsletters\/icon-fp-topStories.svg 75w, https:\/\/dcs-static.gprod.postmedia.digital\/17.4.2\/websites\/images\/newsletters\/icon-fp-topStories.svg 100w, https:\/\/dcs-static.gprod.postmedia.digital\/17.4.2\/websites\/images\/newsletters\/icon-fp-topStories.svg 150w, https:\/\/dcs-static.gprod.postmedia.digital\/17.4.2\/websites\/images\/newsletters\/icon-fp-topStories.svg 240w, https:\/\/dcs-static.gprod.postmedia.digital\/17.4.2\/websites\/images\/newsletters\/icon-fp-topStories.svg 320w, https:\/\/dcs-static.gprod.postmedia.digital\/17.4.2\/websites\/images\/newsletters\/icon-fp-topStories.svg 500w, https:\/\/dcs-static.gprod.postmedia.digital\/17.4.2\/websites\/images\/newsletters\/icon-fp-topStories.svg 640w, https:\/\/dcs-static.gprod.postmedia.digital\/17.4.2\/websites\/images\/newsletters\/icon-fp-topStories.svg 800w, https:\/\/dcs-static.gprod.postmedia.digital\/17.4.2\/websites\/images\/newsletters\/icon-fp-topStories.svg 1024w, https:\/\/dcs-static.gprod.postmedia.digital\/17.4.2\/websites\/images\/newsletters\/icon-fp-topStories.svg 1280w, https:\/\/dcs-static.gprod.postmedia.digital\/17.4.2\/websites\/images\/newsletters\/icon-fp-topStories.svg 1600w\" alt=\"Top Stories\" loading=\"lazy\" fifu-data-src=\"https:\/\/dcs-static.gprod.postmedia.digital\/17.4.2\/websites\/images\/newsletters\/icon-fp-topStories.svg\"\/><\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Top Stories<\/p>\n<p class=\"newsletter-widget__text__new-story-page\">Get the latest headlines, breaking news and columns.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"newsletter-widget__body__new-story-page\">\n<div class=\"js-replace-main__new-story-page\">\n<p class=\"newsletter-widget__disclaimer__new-story-page text-size--tiny\">By signing up you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"js-submit-success\" hidden=\"\" id=\"submitSuccessFP_HeadlineNews\">\n<p>Thanks for signing up!<\/p>\n<p class=\"newsletter-widget__text__new-story-page\">A welcome email is on its way.

There\u2019s also reason to believe the industry will be spared by the new U.S. administration, David Campbell, New Brunswick\u2019s former chief economist, said.<\/p>\n<p>He said Trump\u2019s tariff threats are about protecting and increasing investment in the U.S., especially in manufacturing, which was behind his decision to impose a particularly harsh set of tariffs on China and extra duties on other countries, including Canada, during his first term.<\/p>\n<p>But you can\u2019t manufacture more lobsters, Campbell said, since it\u2019s a limited resource and the U.S. only produces a third of the lobsters caught in Canada.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019re not going to increase lobster production in the U.S., so if they cut off Nova Scotia and Canada, it\u2019s just going to be more expensive to consume lobster in the United States,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s also just going to drive up inflation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This time around, however, Trump has suggested another reason for tariffs across the board, which is to use extra duties to recoup lost revenue from the federal tax cuts he has promised to make.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<div class=\"ad__section-border article-content__ad-group ad_counter_4\">\n<section aria-describedby=\"advertisment2509165463261971983420771258073088\" class=\"ad\">\n<p>Advertisement 4<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad__container\">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\" id=\"ad__inner-4\">\n<div class=\"ad__inner__container\" data-ad=\"[[1200,250],[1200,90],[970,90],[970,250],[728,90],[300,250]]\" data-ad-loc=\"4\" data-ad-mobile=\"[[320,50],[300,50],[300,250]]\" data-aqa=\"advertisement\" id=\"ad-4\" style=\"--desktopHeight:250px;--mobileHeight:250px\">\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"ad__placeholder\">\n<p>This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<section class=\"article-content__content-group article-content__content-group--story\">\n<p>Article content<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy gut is that they\u2019re not going to put a tariff on something that they can\u2019t produce in the U.S.,\u201d Campbell said. \u201cBut I wouldn\u2019t bet on this because (Trump) is so unpredictable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For now, it\u2019s a waiting game for industry players such as Irvine. The industry, he said, has made big gains in expanding its market, particularly in China. In 2022, Nova Scotia exported more than $450-million worth of live lobster to China, up from $25 million in 2007.<\/p>\n<p>One reason for that gain was because Nova Scotia\u2019s lobster business turned out to be a benefactor of a U.S.-China trade war during Trump\u2019s first term. In response to Trump\u2019s tariffs at the time, China imposed a 35 per cent markup on U.S. lobsters, which crippled Maine\u2019s chief export but boosted Nova Scotia sales to the country.<\/p>\n<p>In the end, the U.S. government included Maine\u2019s commercial fishermen in a $30-billion bailout that was originally earmarked for farmers who were hit hardest by the trade war.<\/p>\n<p>Canada and the U.S. also have a good trading relationship, unlike China and the U.S. Canada buys half of Maine\u2019s lobsters in any given year, Irvine said, so the prospect of a trade war doesn\u2019t help anybody.<\/p>\n<section aria-labelledby=\"moreTopicLabel7506645231492451949809885280993280\" class=\"more-topic\" data-aqa=\"embed-more-topic\" data-carousel-component=\"\"
