Canadians Demand Election Over Trade Deal | Calgary News
Description
Just hours before the U.S. was set to slap 50% tariffs on Canadian goods, President Trump paused the move, hinting at a pending trade deal—while Canadians react with fierce debate. A new poll reveals nearly half (47%) believe a federal election should happen if a deal is finalized, wanting voters to weigh in. Most Canadians want to hold firm: 74% support taxing electricity sold to the U.S., 70% oppose U.S. firms bidding on Canadian contracts, and 70% back taxing oil and gas exports. Sixty-four percent favor banning U.S. liquor sales here, and 63% support taxing potash exports. Fifty-nine percent back tariffs on U.S. goods, while 56% overall want no more concessions. Meanwhile, outrage over the U.S. ambassador has swelled—with over 235,000 signatures urging his recall for allegedly undermining Canada’s sovereignty and suggesting Canada should become the 51st U.S. state.
