In a surprising turn of events, President Trump’s recent announcement of auto tariffs has sent shockwaves through Canada’s federal election campaign. The impact of these tariffs is already being felt as candidates scramble to address the implications for the Canadian economy. The threat of a trade war with the United States has added a new level of uncertainty to an already tense election season.
The auto industry, a crucial sector for Canada’s economy, is poised to be heavily impacted by these tariffs. Candidates from all parties are now under pressure to come up with a plan to protect Canadian jobs and industries from the fallout. The implications of these tariffs extend beyond just the auto industry, with many other sectors feeling the effects as well.
With the election just around the corner, the issue of trade relations with the United States has taken center stage. The outcome of the election could have far-reaching consequences for Canada’s economic future. As candidates navigate this new challenge, voters will be closely watching to see who can provide the best solution to this pressing issue.
The stakes are high as Canada’s future hangs in the balance. The impact of Trump’s auto tariffs has the potential to shift the political landscape and reshape the country’s economic policies. As the election campaign heats up, all eyes are on the candidates as they work to address this critical issue facing the nation.

Notice how Marc Carney took a day off the campaign trail to go back to Ottawa and deal with the concerns of Canadians as a Prime Minister. Does anyone think Pierre phoned him up and asked "any way I can help?". Not on my bingo card.
Carney, you are way in over your head!
You haven't a clue how to navigate Canada!
You speak out of two sides of your mouth, and all you do is blame Donald Trump when it is the Liberal and NDP government who got us here, and you will never be PM.
Conservatives want to take away support programs before making the economy like it was before socialist made it horrible to start a business in canada.
CARNEY OFFSHORE TAX HAVEN [CITY NEWS REPORT MARCH 26 ]
If all the world boycott US, who they will rely on as allies? Canada should not subsidy US anymore.
All this so they can say 51% of the cars are made and assembled in the united states. He could have just said that instead of torching $4 trillion dollars.
Chuckie's cancer is all turdeau's fault from all the stress he put on him trying to Destroy Chuckie's beloved Canada
the death of the queen was all turdeau's fault as well.
Sad what this has brought into the world!
🕷Mark Carney's the MOST Unworthy Person Ever to Run for The Prime Minister Position in Canada. 100% behind Michael Barret & Pierre Poilievre 🍁
RFK said 20,000 jobs will be cut 82,000 to 62,000.
Love trump.
Trudeau broke Canada's legs, Carney arrives with a crutch. Go figure, typical liberal lunacy
Carney, Singh, and the like will cause the break up of Canada. I am absolutely for Alberta separation. We need a referendum now in Alberta. Let's get this ball rolling.
Trump's tarrifs protect TESLA who's materials & assembly is not subject to 25% oversea tariffs Their competitors (including US Auto makers) have 55 to 60% of their products targeted for tax. This is a violation of the anti-monopolies act and exploitation of the economy by the president of the United States (a grifter) for his billionaire friends
carney forced Blazilians peaple to work long ours for one dolar a day, carnay is Scamer, no no he thas not live in CANADA
Outbid US production orders to their major markets overseas.
All wars cost money.
US made itself the most important market.
but its equivalent market numbers exist in foreign markets.
US = 340M people
ASEAN = 740M
Europe = 450M
S.America= 430M
They're all poorer but they buy US products regardless. cooperation with alternative regions and mutual agremeent to squeeze out American manufacturers by retaliatory tariffs can contribute to disassembling /replacing the model of too many countries orbiting an america-centric economy.
And maybe weve needed this for a long time to cool down the automotive market which has dragged its heels on innovation for decades anyway
Only carney❤🗳
Canadians watch out for Carney, he will destroy us with his Netzero agendas or sell us out to China! Watch out for his plans…what kind of a PM too scared to go over and talk with Trump? He can avoid it but he is not…he has a plan and a plan is to let China runs us. So watch out!
If it can be proved that Justin Trudeau tried to give Canada AIDS, then that would be a jailable offence.
Thank God we finally have a president that is waging war with our allies, and finally snuggling up to mother Russia like we all thought would happen one day! Thank you Dear Leader for making it possible that ONLY Americans will buy our cars because those nasty allies will now want nothing to do with them! We have waited so long for a leader that would finally wake the world up to not buy our products! God Bless America!!!!!!!
DO NOT believe in the gimmick of Donald Trump and Pierre Poilivre! Pierre and Smith CANNOT BE TRUSTED. Because They are PRO-Donald Trump! They are Trump's allies and supporters. Poilivre is the poison and the traitor of Canada. If Poilivre wins, he will allow Donald Trump to make Canada the 51st state. DO NOT VOTE Pierre Poilivre!
Trump will destroy the North American car industry instead of working cooperatively to compete with China.
DARK CARNEY WILL PUT THE FINAL NAIL IN THE COFFIN THAT TRUDEAU BUILT FOR CANADA..
Who cares??
Do plant workers care if im unemployed or others….no they arent
# FINGERS UP FOR CARNEY
Who does he think he is he is not PM yet and if he doesn't just put himself in the position. Carney can't trip his hand because he doesn't have one.
Who would respect him.
Pierre is better suited to deal with Trump Carney doesn't have the balls to handle Trump
Why you – Global News – are so pro liberal?! We can read your “message “ between the lines!!!
Conservatives are the only hope to make Canada 🇨🇦 great again.
So please stop pushing liberals forward… 😡
respect the rest of electorate!!!
Carney is playing with fire. Be careful Canada Carney is not what he seems . Don't say you haven't been Warned.
If people would do their own research instead of believing everything the media broadcasts they would find out that the white house said all car parts included in the USMCA agreement ARE EXEMPT!!!!
If you understand how communism was developed in a certain country like China, Vietnam etc., you will see clearly that is the way Trump is doing with the US.
Full of Mark Carney no one can trust the NDP or the Bloc or Liberal Party they all refused to axe the tax, refused to call an election that 98% of all Canadians wanted. Talk about completely disconnected from all Canadians
Pierre is petrified and panicking; uttering a neutered “knock it off” is not enough.
Leave the job to the calm and collected Carney who’s Canada’s champion and choice, 🇨🇦🫡
Build stronger Canada, Build Canadian made cars and more 🍁🇨🇦
Canada needs to find solutions quick to prevent trump economic destruction. If not Canadians may have lower lifestyle than Americans & be poorer.
If this problem is to be handled fairly then the root cause should be the focus of the solution. That is why I believe we should focus on demonetizing the unworthy and untrustworthy oligarchy and empowering the worthy who earn all wealth through their labour. By setting the minimum wage to 90% of net profit and treating business owners as what they are, talent agents, we can achieve this. An economy where 80% of people are 2 paycheques away from homelessness is not strong, and likens itself to modern day slavery, which is surely a far weaker "economy" than it should rationally be, at least for the poor and middle classes.
No Carney. You won’t let America influence Canada but you want the WEF to influence Canada. You are a traitor
How can you be 14 years old and over 7 feet tall? Did his parents pump him full of steroids like they were going out of style? Someone needs to do an inventory of the surrounding hospitals 😂.
YOU CUT OFF his statement that our partnerships with the USA are OVER. Give us the whole story. George in Victoria, BC.
Get Carney out NOW!!!! Canada will not survive if he's elected.
pp promoting a savings plan for peoples surpluses, while tariff threats will put people out of work. He as always totally missed the boat, with his stupid yapping
Don't worry —- once maga has finally had enough, they'll oust Lump like
a 3 day old left over ham sandwich into the trash … J.D. will take over and
go back to who he used to be —- a guy with integrity who despised Lump and reverse course to undo Lump's mess … it'll all work out y'all
Canada should design a new fighter jet and this time there would be no US convincing us to scrap the program.
Misinformation on the tariffs
Mark Carney, unelected and with no mandate from the Canadian people, makes a major foreign policy annoucement affecting our relationship with our largest trading partner basically severing Canada's ties with the US. This is not the behaviour of a democratic leader this is the behaviour of a dictator.
Global news = garbage liberalism
Don’t deal with bullies Canada deserves to work with respectful leader!! I think the PM is doing great work.. 🙏
This guy hasn't lived in Canada for 27 of his own years don't trust him you don't move out of Canada to be Canadian
When is Pierre the real PM coming?
