Two prominent Canadian politicians, Pierre Poilievre and Jagmeet Singh, are pressuring Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to come up with a concrete plan to combat the proposed tariffs by U.S. president-elect Donald Trump. The proposed 25-per cent tariff on all items coming into the United States has sparked concern and uncertainty among Canadian leaders, as they fear the potential economic repercussions for Canada.
Both Poilievre and Singh are calling on Trudeau to take immediate action and address the looming threat of the tariffs. They argue that the Canadian government needs to have a strong and strategic response plan in place to protect Canadian businesses and workers from the potential impact of Trump’s protectionist policies.
Trudeau has yet to publicly address the issue, leading to growing frustration among opposition leaders and Canadians alike. Poilievre and Singh are demanding clear answers from the Prime Minister on how he plans to defend Canadian interests in the face of Trump’s proposed tariffs.
As the deadline for the tariffs approaches, the pressure is mounting on Trudeau to demonstrate strong leadership and proactive decision-making. Poilievre and Singh are adamant that Trudeau cannot afford to remain silent on this critical issue, and are urging him to take swift and decisive action to protect Canada’s economy and trade relationships.
The uncertainty created by Trump’s proposed tariffs is causing anxiety and concern among Canadian businesses and workers. Poilievre and Singh’s call for Trudeau to respond to the tariffs is reflective of the urgency and seriousness of the situation. Canadians are eagerly awaiting Trudeau’s plan to fight back against Trump’s protectionist measures and safeguard Canada’s economic interests.

As a canadian, Trump is not wrong. Canada is such a mess, so weak… of course he will go after us.
It is just getting worse by the day. It is time for change.
Tax all US ships going out to see from the great lakes via the St. Lawrence… Say, 25% of whatever they're carrying. It's the largest and most commercially viable path to sea. The Chicago Canal won't be able to handle any significant diversions in shipping traffic to move goods through the Mississippi river and a HUGE backup will occur.
I'm a US veteran, but I f'ing despise Tяump and all things Nazi that have carried him to power. So please make his next presidency a living hell. My recommendation? Sick Freeland on him again. You'll be back at NAFTA 3.0 in about a week.
Conservatives are in bed with the republicans. Always has. Nothing will change concerning Trump.
Jr. has no plan for Canada. However, he is planning his next family vacation.
lol Trudeau.
Meanwhile , 9 years later…
You're sinking us, Justin
What did u expect from this clown PM?
whys Trudeau always sound like he's out of breath
40% tax on electricity exports.
The only one I trust is Singh. Trudeau and Poilievre are two sides of the same coin.
Just because Trump says he will do something does not mean it will happen,get a grip.
It is interesting how he said canada should stop the illegals and drugs coming to usa, but isn't it the other way around thousands of illegal immigrants , drugs, guns etc come from usa. Sure we have some responsibility but this is blackmailing by president Trump.
Canadians are busy in activism, khalistanis protest and drugs time to wake up and work bit
Taylor Swift’s #1 is funning this country into the ground
American here … I want Canada to succeed. Trudeau sounds just like Kamala Harris, with shallow attacks and baseless platitudes. That didn’t work. Poilievre is your hope.
Justin is gonna lose worse than Kamala lol
I’d think twice about getting into a fight with Trump.
We need a Trump in Canada
Anneke Lucas claimed on PBD podcast that at 9 yrs old she was sex trafficked to Pierre Trudeau by David Rothschild. It was a very sad podcast to watch she also wrote a book about being se trafficked at 5 yrs old by her mom first in Beilgum and then David Rothschild in New York and Germany! Give the podcast a listen. You could feel the raw emotion from this lady. She said it took her over 30yrs to heal!
PP and Singh need to give their heads a shake. They want Canada to pick an economic fight with the USA? The ONLY reason why Canada has a G20 economy is because of our trade with the USA. You don't pick a fight with someone more than 10x your size unless you've got backup, and right now there is only one country with the balls or wealth to potentially help us weather a fight economically with the USA, and that is China.
That would be idiocy of the absolute highest magnitude.
We need to wait and see what actually happens and our politicians need to stop with the click bate sound bites to score points.
One of these days Canada will get a leader, and not a politician who's more interested in power than actually doing good for all Canadians instead of their clique of sycophants.
The direction we are headed… we won't be having any true leaders in my lifetime. We'll have civil war before then. Fueled by politicians on both sides who feed fear and anger to get votes.
There isn't a true leader in parliament today, and hasn't been since the end of WWII
he's returned to his uh, well, uh, speech iss-uh – issues
The reality of all there hasn't been a plan since 2015.
Maybe the plan was to create chaos? Thus destroying the foundations of Canada.
Trudeau will give Trump another old photograph of him and his dad.
Axe the tax.
Ban d drugs
Tighten the border
N stop being clueless Justin Trudeau.
Donald Trump mentioned specifically fentanyl as d drug of concern going south of the border to d US, nobody is talking about Marijuana, Taylor Swift's cheerleader.
Poli has no plan. Words like fix and axe are just words. He has never had a real job, and nobody in the world should be voting for right wing governments. Trudeau has been making some good moves lately. The Mango to the south would make gum of him.
You know who never has plan!!!!!! Pierre.
As CDN Conservative MP Kevin Voung says, “Everyone's been focused on the 25% Trump trade tariff instead of the reason provided.
To date, the US Border Patrol have stopped 358 "suspects on the terror watchlist" from Cda.
WHY ARE PEOPLE ON THE US' TERROR WATCHLIST IN Cda IN THE FIRST PLACE?”
Block all shipments from USA. They are dumping milk products,, eggs etc. We do not beed that we have our own.
Trudeau to consult Taylor swift in how to handle the tariffs situation
We've been suffering prior to Trump being re-elected. Crooked Canadian government. Poilievre and Trump, let's go! 🇨🇦🤝🇺🇸
Our saving is reducing each year, living cost is getting higher and higher. Thanks Trudeau.
The plan should be clean up Canada , stop the drugs, stop the immigrants, stop the crime ,
Stop Justin Trudeau !!!!
Call an election!! My God.
What plan this evil man has for Canada,Trudeau has been a very good minister,stop accusing the Liberal Party,your plan goes to the richest people.
totally agree with trudeau, the two clowns instead of offering total support to the current governement for the interest of canadians as they pretend, do all these clownish acts, Trudeau is right no panic, trump is the kind who bulshit and retract when needed, this tarrifs, althaugh very bad, would hurt the US way harder than canada, the two economies share blood vessels , trumps wants to put pressure to bargain and he is getting it apparently.
Trudeau is no more then a joke!
These idiots make themselves and the rest of Canada look bad by acting like 8 year old bullies in question period. Stop grandstanding and do your freaking jobs. You have an idea Poilievre? Let's hear it. How about you Singh? They criticize one another but I don't hear anyone coming up with brilliant strategy. Get your act together or we will get handed our lunch to us by the US. Idiots.
Trudeau needs to call an election
Trudy needs to go, ASAP!!! And take Singh with you!
Omg , Trump is going to walk all over Canada with Trudeau as your fearless leader
It is true we depend greatly on US for our economy, however, it is not cause for panic and immediate threats in response.
Trump is a ticking bomb, he is irrational and fragile so jumping into a trade war before he is even in the White House is hotheaded and unwise. Not to mention any changes would violate the CUSMA, so what’s the panic?!
Trudeau has dealt with Trump before and as well as he could have in such a situation.
I am sure that any other leader be it Singh or Poillievre or whoever, would be quite challenged to do better! All of this stupid squabbling and attacking is just the kind of chaos that causes bad decisions and even worse results.
Cool heads need to prevail here and nobody wants to hear Poillievre shooting his mouth off on this, it’s not helpful. I guess that’s what he’s good at, right now he holds up any progression of bills that work for us Canadians!🤬
Drop Trudope Canada. Call an election. Put Pierre in charge. You will have your tarriff response plan tout suite!
Here's some ideas: nationalize all natural resources, end the temporary foreign workers program, reestablish crown corps to take over all natural monopolies including all telecom, eliminate tax and cap prices on all essential goods, eliminate income tax on median household incomes and any income that comes from a wage, raise taxes on luxury goods, conspicuous consumption, and capital gains, persecute realtors that fraudulently get mortgages approved for career landlords who can't actually service their debt without having their tenants pay it for them, reinstate social housing, high-speed rail, nuclear power. I could go on. And if these huge corps decide to take their ball and go home, freeze their assets then expropriate and nationalize their lands and titles. Keep Canadian money and resources in Canada, and pay out the dividends to Canadian workers, and not the investor and financier class.
Oh and the US is a dying empire, we should abandon NATO and petition to be admitted into BRICS
India is still waiting for the evidence
Sit down Trudeau. You've said all you can say!
For those saying that this is happening because we aren't kissing the Trump's behind enough, Trump recently took actions that even his friend, and president in Hungary labeled "an attack on our sovereignty." No one is "safe".
People have to understand that the US is hurting, and to try and get themselves out of this slump, they will burn their allies as they try and bring back industrial production. We in Canada are easy industries to bring back for them.
Mexico is doing the smart thing and diversifying while we continue to bend over for the US. As they get foreign investments outside the US to build production plants, and us treaties to sell to Europe and South America.
Canada might be worse than Mexico.
“An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth” is the way Trump understands. Communication matters!
