Canada vs US Trade War Escalates | Edmonton News
Description
The U.S. just slapped Canada with 50% tariffs on everything from toys to hockey sticks after trade talks collapsed — a move Canada says undermines its ability to negotiate globally. Alberta’s Premier Danielle Smith warns Ontario’s manufacturing will take the brunt, but vows to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Prime Minister Mark Carney, who reminds everyone that Canada supplies most of America’s energy. While energy exports aren’t directly targeted yet, Smith makes it clear cutting them off is unthinkable — they’re vital to funding struggling industries. Her plan? Speed up pipelines, fix internal trade barriers, and push for diplomacy to open new markets. Meanwhile, Canadians brace for fallout — including disappearing American liquor — as this escalating trade war tests Canada’s resilience and unity.
