South Shore Furniture Shuts Down, 126 Jobs Lost

About this episode

South Shore Furniture in Quebec has closed, resulting in 126 job losses due to competition from subsidized Asian imports.

South Shore Furniture, a Quebec furniture maker, closes its doors, laying off 126 workers due to cheap Asian imports, particularly from China, which receive heavy government subsidies. Industry leaders warn of a squeeze on North American players, and while the federal government launches an inquiry, the Canadian Wood Products Alliance calls for immediate provisional tariffs to prevent further closures and job losses.
