Is the trade war with Canada bad news for Maine businesses?
Poll Description

This week, three members of Maine's congressional delegation urged the Trump administration to avoid a trade war with Canada.

A trade war with our northern neighbor could have "devastating consequences for Maine, including increased prices on groceries, gas and energy," U.S. Sens. Susan Collins, R-Maine, and Angus King, I-Maine, and U.S. Rep. Chellie Pingree, D-1st District, said in a joint press release on Monday. 

Canada is Maine’s largest international trading partner. Maine relies on Canada for heating fuel, gasoline, natural gas and electricity. According to the office of Gov. Janet Mills, more than 80% of heating fuel and gasoline used in Maine comes from Canada.
