A Calgary jewellery maker says she expects to lose about half of her customers as tensions rise in a Canada-U.S. trade war. Cindy Baldassi, who runs her business from Calgary, tells outlets she is seeing uncertainty affecting buying decisions and expects the impact to be significant.
The articles describe the situation as “very difficult” for the business owner, linking the potential loss of customers to broader economic disruption between the two countries. While the sources agree on Baldassi’s expectation of losing roughly half her clientele, they focus mainly on her personal assessment rather than providing new, independent figures on overall market conditions or policy changes.
Across outlets, the emphasis is on the immediate business outlook and the anticipated customer impact, with no clear disagreement on the core claim. None of the provided summaries detail the specific trade measures at issue, timing of any policy actions, or whether similar effects are being observed across the jewellery industry.
