Canada Hits Back with Tariffs | Vancouver News

Canada’s new retaliatory tariffs are now live, slapping 27.6 billion dollars worth of U.S. goods with 15–50% duties — a direct response to America’s own 50% tariffs on nearly 28 billion dollars in Canadian exports. With trade talks dead since late August, experts warn this could spiral into a damaging trade war, forcing both nations to endure economic pain. Canada says it’s ready to negotiate — but only if the U.S. changes its tough stance. Meanwhile, domestic pressures in Washington — inflation, slowing growth, and looming elections — haven’t softened U.S. resolve. Economists estimate up to 87,000 Canadian jobs could vanish, and families with kids may face an extra $250 annually. Yet polls show Canadians back their prime minister’s refusal to accept a bad deal. The real test? How long Canada can weather the storm — while the U.S. holds its next move in reserve. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
