This is unsurprising. While any tariffs will harm both Cdns and Americans, the key issues will be (a) the treatment of specific sectors like steel, dairy, autos, aluminum, energy, etc., and (b) our tariff rates relative to other international competitors. theglobeandmail.com/politics/artic…
🎙️🌐 On this episode of #TheGlobalExchange, @DonaldColinRob1 sits down with Hon. @PerrinBeatty, Vice-Admiral (Retd) Mark Norman, Vincent Rigby and Tim Sargent, to discuss the risks and opportunities of the recently announced Canada-European Union Security and Defence partnership.
Chaos and threats are standard Trump tactics. Canada needs to stay focused, stand our ground, and proceed one step at a time. And our long-term strategy must be to never again to leave ourselves so vulnerable to the whims of one man or one nation. nytimes.com/2025/07/11/wor…
The latest tariff threats are another unjustified attack on Canada’s economy. Canada has long been a reliable partner and trusted friend to the United States. These tariffs will damage both our countries. All Canadians must come together to defend our economy. Conservatives…

Trump letter threatens 35% tariffs on Canada, repeats bogus “failure to stop the drugs from pouring into our Country” claim, despite U.S. stats and our $1.3 billion commitment. Also targets dairy. Concludes, “You will never be disappointed with The United States of America.”
There’s no quick fix, no easy formula for Canadian sovereignty & prosperity. We must resolve to do what it takes to achieve our potential & maintain our determination to see it through. We can never again let ourselves be dependent on the good will of one person or one nation.

The Canada-EU Defence and Security Partnership is an important step forward for Canada and Europe, but we’ll have to manage the risks. ctvnews.ca/video/2025/07/…
