Canada's Foreign Affairs Minister is not opposed to making life in Canada significantly more expensive by adding a retaliatory tariff on American goods and everything is on the table.
Quote:
CTV News confirmed this week that Canadian officials are preparing a list of American products — including steel, ceramics, such as toilets and sinks, and Florida orange juice — that could be targeted with retaliatory tariffs in response to Trump’s threat.
Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly is not ruling out any countermeasures when it comes to dealing with U.S. president-elect Donald Trump — his threat of significant tariffs on Canadian imports, in particular.
In an interview with host Vassy Kapelos for CTV Question Period, airing Sunday, Joly would not rule out cutting off energy exports to the U.S. in response to those tariff threats.
Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, Quebec Premier François Legault and Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Andrew Furey have all said they are opposed to cutting off energy exports to retaliate.
The premiers will meet this week with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in person to discuss the Canadian response, with plans to travel to Washington, D.C., together next month for a Council of the Federation mission.
