Tensions continue to escalate in the Canada-U.S. trade war as the federal government prepares to impose $28 billion in retaliatory tariffs on American imports. CTV’s Jeremie Charron reports that U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent compared Canada to a “yippy dog” during an interview on Fox News. Flavio Volpe, president of the Automotive Parts Manufacturers’ Association, believes the ongoing verbal attacks are a deliberate tactic to distract from domestic issues in Washington. The new counter-tariffs are scheduled to take effect on Tuesday despite informal talks between Canada-U.S. Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc and his American counterpart.

Do you support Canada imposing $28 billion in counter-tariffs on U.S. imports? Yes or No?
These governments throw around billions of dollars like it's lunch money.
Kidding? Forget Trade.. Trump's now Touting:
"BANKING RECIPROCITY" the Financial NUKE. Impossible, Carney has (ZERO) off ramp on this. That's a Wrap, TKO 🥊 😵
Is the Trump Canadian currency solution Melania Bitcoin?
That's half of what we've given Ukraine.
….yep keep poking the bear what a brilliant strategy.Word is Trump will focus on BC,onterrible and Quebec.
Love Carney making life more expensive for me
Bessent, I have a yippy dog that I'd like you to meet. Bring your Shepard with you. My little dog wants to show you his teeth. He can sort you out and then your shepherd too.
Affordability has never been better!! Strongest economy in the g7!! Elbows up 😂😂
I have, always, bought Local Products, in Canada. Aside from Apartment Expenses, Groceries are my highest expense, as I do not drive. Every thing I need/want is available in Canada. In some cases, Canadian Groceries are healthier. There are less additives.
All passed on to Canadians. Elbows up for the worst government in Canadian history
Why bother with counter tariff's. This is like putting a tax on Canadian consumers as the importer pays the import duties into Canada and passes the cost on to Canadian consumers. Let the USA apply tariff's that the importers would have the American consumers pay there 50%+ import tariff's. See how long it takes for American consumers look south and see Canadian consumers consuming goods with no extra fee's involved. By all means shop Canadian but why charge Canadian consumers more for goods purchased from across the border. The American consumer will be in an uproar knowing Canadians are living peacefully with no extra charges on their imports.
If we bite them in the ankle they will surely give in. LOL
Trump wants Canada; this is existential. Regardless of how much pain, show the world America is not trustworthy. If they can attack Canada, who is to say anything they say about Iran is truthful?
All countries should make tarriffs illegal…….let the consumer decide what has value and what doesnt.
Most Canadians have no idea what is about to happen to them. The economy cannot possibly hold up with what is coming.
Tariffs are paid by the citizens of their own country. Canada would be signing a death wish ..
03:45 im glad Canadian made is making a come back
Aw yes, Mark Carney, talking tough while he's instructed LeBlanc to go and try to suck up to someone behind the scenes.
Why can't Carney tell the truth?
❤️🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
THE DACHSHUND WILL WHIMPER.
Not only is it a deflection of his trade policy, and Iran. Its a constant history of events worthy of distraction. Lets add Epstein and the murder of American citizens on video by his ICE force
Holy bots in here!
75+% Canadians Support PM Mark Carney,60% of American's support Canada.
