Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre reacted on Sunday to U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs on Canadian goods. Trump’s executive order was signed on Saturday and the tariffs take effect Tuesday.

Poilievre condemned President Trump’s “massive and unjustified tariffs, which will damage both American and Canadian economies.” He’s calling for an immediate tax cut to put Canada first.

He also posed a question to Americans: “A 25 per cent tariff on Canada and only a 10 per cent tariff on China? In what strategic mindset does that make sense? If it’s to do with fentanyl, the fentanyl is coming from China,” Poilievre said.

“We must retaliate dollar for dollar, carefully aiming those tariffs at maximizing the impact on American companies while minimizing the impact on Canadian consumers and businesses,” Poilievre said.

After the White House confirmed 25 per cent tariffs on Canadian goods would go into affect on Tuesday, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has announced incoming counter tariffs against the U.S.

“Tonight, I am announcing Canada will be responding to the U.S. trade action with 25 per cent tariffs against a $155 billion worth of American goods,” Trudeau said in an address to the nation Saturday evening.

Trudeau said this will include immediate tariffs on $30 billion worth of goods as of Tuesday, followed by further tariffs on $125 billion worth of American products in 21 days’ time to “allow Canadian companies and supply chains to seek to find alternatives.”

This comes after weeks of Trump repeatedly warning Mexico and Canada — two of the United States’ top trading partners — he will impose tariffs if the two countries do not end fentanyl trafficking and the flow of migrants across U.S. border.

Since the initial threat, Trudeau has held several meetings with Canada’s premiers, working through plans to bolster their respective border security efforts.
