The latest U.S. tariffs on a small number of Canadian goods went into effect Tuesday as Washington presses on in its trade war with Canada.
The White House said last week it would impose 50 per cent tariffs on goods representing about 0.6 per cent of U.S. imports from Canada, such as outboard motorboats and metal and paper products.
American officials also said 50 per cent tariffs on goods representing about 0.5 per cent of U.S. imports from Canada, such as cement, sugar, toilet paper and fishing rods, would be removed.
The latest tariffs come amid an ever-evolving trade war between the two countries after Canada walked away from formal negotiations last month. Prime Minister Mark Carney has said the Americans made last-minute demands that would undermine Canada’s sovereignty.

U.S. President Donald Trump imposed tariffs on nearly $28 billion in Canadian goods in August, while Ottawa followed suit with retaliatory tariffs on American products.
Trump has also ordered bans of imports of Canadian-made liquor and a handful of dairy products that will go into place Sept. 29.
@frustrating Candian..
– nothing at all in the Canadian Constitution or Charter of Rights and Freedoms guarantees you a right to be given a job. Especially with your grammar and spelling.
When it comes to understanding economics Trump is still in Grade 2. Unfortunately he has surrounded himself with others who understand even less to make himself look like he knows what he is doing.
The total population of Canada is just slightly larger then the population of California alone and Trump and his minions think there should be no trade deficit. Of course the americans are going to buy more, give your head a shake.

So once again, the actual tariffs implemented are not as bad. After weeks of alarmist statements from the Liberals and their pet media.
Does this mean the Liberals are going to adjust their import taxes (tariffs)?
Don’t hold your breath. The ‘Carney plan’ has been ‘banking’ on this new form of taxation all along.
Oh well
I hope evey single one of them loses their job, their home and everything else
After almost 15yrs of decline extreme consequences is what it appears its going to take for Canadians to pull their heads out of their back ends
