Episode Details

Canada fires back with matching 50% tariffs on $27 billion in U.S. imports starting September 8, targeting everyday goods like cheese, clothes, and toilet paper — a direct response to America’s recent trade moves. Officials say U.S. demands threatened key Canadian industries, prompting a firm counter-push. Beyond tariffs, Ottawa’s rolling out worker and business support packages to cushion the blow. Canada’s framing this as a defense of its economy and workers, while eyeing new alliances — including soon-to-be talks with India. With the lowest G7 debt-to-GDP ratio and top credit rating, Canada is entering this trade standoff from a position of strength, determined to diversify global ties and protect its interests.
