Mark Warner, lawyer at Toronto-based MAAW Law, said Ottawa’s response was restrained in the sense that it exclusively targets aluminum products, rather than escalating the dispute by introducing tariffs on a range of other goods.
Tariffs introduced by Ottawa will raise costs for Canadians, Warner said, but said those added costs are unlikely to make a noticeable difference to average consumers. Observers who spoke to the National Post said it was unclear what specific products might eventually be targeted under the proposed list.
The decision by Trump to revive the trade war heaps more pressure on the Liberal government under Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, which has already suffered a moderate drop in public polling amid the WE controversy.
It is all about the relationship between Justin Trudeau and Donald Trump!
Total electricity Canada produces 9% goes to US so turn power off. Put tariff on softwood. Slap tariff on US dairy under new NAFTA agreement
Where is JustinTrudeau? Where was he during the USMCA signing? Is he that paranoid of Trump that Freeland has to show up for him? TrudeauResignNOW TrudeauCorruption
Washing machines and golf clubs. Beautiful.
Good. Time for Canada and other Western Allies to distance themselves from the USA and China. Need a serious Western Alliance. The days of major powers need to end.
Canada has been importing Chinese steel & aluminum then slapping a “made in Canada” sticker on the metal. Buy cheap metals then sell them at a higher price. That’s why the US put on tariffs.
People, for God's sake. Canada is a tiny speck. Canada DEPEND on Canada & Canadians. Explore/develop Canadian resources instead of giving 2 China. OPEN interprovincial trade 100% by eliminating Provincial tariffs. Build, store, transport, sell, buy, EMPLOY CANADIAN!
What are Trudeaus thoughts on this? Oh yah, he has no balls to stand up to Trump...
Time to promote manufacturing here in Canada. Like beer cans. We send aluminum to the US and then buy it back. Stupid
CaFreeland: Trump’s tariffs will make things more expensive for Americans” Also Freeland: So Canada is going to retaliate with a plethora of tariffs. Liberals: Enriching themselves with buckets of Pandemic Cash while making Canadians’ lives more expensive. cdnpoli
Retaliatory tariffs are dumb
So China sentences Canadians to death. Nothing. Liberals go-to is always anti-Americanism.
Trudeau is being China's lap dog and letting China flood us with their aluminum. The US is penalizing us and rightly so. We may not like it but who made the deal? Trudeau did. Trump is holding Trudeau to account. We should be holding Trudeau to account as well.
When did north america start making washing machines and golf clubs? If they are, it would be a very small market share. Let's put tariffs on China's goods. Maybe we should do.more manufacturing here and have more leverage in these situations.
So Canadians get screwed by the liberals yet again! Big shocker! IDIOTS!
Maybe our dim witted PM should have attended those trade talks.
TRUDEAU se cache depuis début FAKE PANDÉMIE a refuser rencontre USA CANADA MEXIQUE est il en état arrestation assigné à résidence ? Avait t'il peur de se faire arrêter.
Wait - if the tariffs are absurd, why are we also imposing tariffs? Are we both now imposing absurd tariffs, or are the tariffs rendered un-absurd? Or is one absurd but not the other? Go slow to explain plz
Start buying South Korean made products. Support the growth of South Korea-Canada business relations. LG, Samsung!
Call an election and criminal ethics on this government. We are done.
She signed the USMC agreement and is not standing for it...it's her fault, but blames Mr Trumps government
Aren't US washing machines heavily taxed in Canada?🤯
Don't forget to tariff spray tans and fried chicken 😅
Trump puts a tariff on aluminum raising costs for Americans. He'll likely spend it on military. Freeland, not to be outdone, puts a tariff on US goods, raising the cost for Canadians. Trudeau immediately gives the tax money to a charity in a third would country.
Notice who made the Canada retaliation announcement. Trudeau missing in action again. Oh, I forgot; he only comes out of his hobbit hut to announce happy things. Like new multi billion dollar deficit spending to fund Lieberal Party vote buying programs....
Is she married to Frodo?
JustinTrudeau Canada has been taking advantage of us,” Trump. He says this to fire up his base because they don't know any better. Why start a Tarriff war with your Free Trade partner. Did we just no rework, rename, make a few changes to a free trade to make it look like change
You're welcome for the tax
What about beer cans.
These swings could hurt other domestic metals pricing, by escalation, while Canadian production of aluminum must be bolstered in conjunction with imports from elsewhere. Equity plays follow accordingly. I'm not an economist to see the net cascading effects on an aggregate level.
Liberals don't want CDN's to know the tariffs are because they won't stop dumping aluminum & steel from CHINA into the US. Instead of saying no to China they play games with the US. They're the most corrupt, lying government in our lifetime.
There's a few golf clubs that could stand a hit. Cough.
So canadian will have to pay more for those things . Beauty !
Washing machines and golf clubs?!?! Those are trump’s FAVOURITE things!!!!
