A century-old paper mill in Témiscaming, Quebec, is indefinitely closed after the United States imposed 50% tariffs on its products, putting hundreds out of work. BBC World reported that the closure threatens the survival of the town, whose residents are fighting to save it. The tariffs have made the mill's products uncompetitive in the US market, and the shutdown has left hundreds of workers without jobs. Local residents are campaigning to keep the mill and the community viable.
