Episode Details

Canada’s Prime Minister Mark Carney has declared retaliatory tariffs against the U.S. will kick in on September 8th, matching dollar-for-dollar the U.S.’s 50% levies on Canadian goods — a move triggered by failed trade talks and U.S. demands that Canada surrender sovereignty over its trade agreements. Targeting key sectors like steel, dairy, and electronics, Carney admits the tariffs may hurt consumers and businesses but insists standing firm is essential for long-term national strength. The U.S. blames Canada for walking away from previous commitments, while Canada accuses Washington of trying to restrict its global trade partnerships and erode cultural protections. With no further talks planned, Canada is now preparing its counter-strategy to shield industries and support workers caught in the crossfire.
