As Canada prepares for the implications of US tariffs, which remain at a blanket 25%, Prime Minister Mark Carney condemned them and vowed retaliation post consultations with regional premiers. While Canada avoided new tariffs, economic uncertainty persists, raising concerns about job losses and inflation ahead of the April 28 election. Political leaders, including Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre and NDP leader Jagmeet Singh, proposed varied countermeasures reflecting differing strategies for addressing the tariffs. Meanwhile, Ontario Premier Doug Ford expressed cautious optimism, advocating for negotiations beneficial to both nations as Canada's economy braces for potential challenges.
