Canada working to prevent steep tariffs that US President Donald Trump says could be imposed as early as February 1.

Canada’s outgoing prime minister and the leader of the country’s oil rich province of Alberta are confident Canada can avoid the 25% tariffs President Donald Trump says he will impose on Canada and Mexico on Feb.

The race to replace Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is now set, with former central banker Mark Carney and former Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland the two biggest names to have declared their candidacy.

Trudeau has appeared on multiple U.S. news networks to warn Canada’s neighbors that their pocketbooks are at risk of becoming collateral damage in Trump’s trade war. “Anything an American president does to hurt the Canadian economy will also hurt American consumers and American workers and American growth,” he told CNN’s Jake Tapper last week.

Joly, and later Public Safety Minister David McGuinty, pointed to the reassignment of two Black Hawk helicopters operated by the RCMP to a border patrol role as proof of just how committed the Liberals are to beefing up security.

Canadian leaders expressed relief that broad tariffs were not applied to Canadian products on the first day of Donald Trump’s presidency.

Canadian PM Justin Trudeau said that if a “worst-case scenario” trade war ensues between the US and Canada, Ottawa won’t hesitate to take strong retaliatory measures.

The leader of Canada’s most populous province says he will be calling an election in Ontario because he says he needs a mandate to fight U.S.

Canadian Foreign Minister Mélanie Joly said she will endorse former central banker Mark Carney to be Liberal Party leader and Canada’s next prime minister

She called for unity on Canada's trade strategy. The premiers of Alberta, Quebec and Saskatchewan have pushed back on Ottawa for floating the idea of imposing dollar-for-dollar retaliatory tariffs and cutting off energy exports.
