Poilievre outlines 7-point response to Trump's incoming tariffs
U.S. President Donald Trump has declared a trade war on Canada, prompting the federal government, provinces and territories to launch their own countermeasures to hit back at the American economy.

Trump imposed a 25 per cent tariff on virtually all goods from Canada and a lower 10 per cent tariff on Canadian energy products. That means there will be a fee on Canadian products entering the United States — and those costs will likely be passed on to American consumers.

Likewise, the Canadian government has pledged to hit the U.S. with retaliatory 25 per cent tariffs on $155 billion worth of American goods coming into Canada. There will be an immediate $30 billion implemented on Tuesday, and the remaining $125 billion in 21 days.
