Foreign Affairs Minister suggested Canada’s plan to retaliate against tariffs has fuelled a surge in support for the Liberal Party
Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly told the Munich security conference that European countries should consider Canada a 'canary in a coal mine' when it comes to the threat of tariffs from the United States.Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly says Canada’s plan to retaliate if U.S.
Joly made the comments Saturday during a panel discussion on trade at an international security conference in Munich, Germany, where she told European leaders they could learn from Canada’s experiences dealing with Trump. The minister says there was a “big change” when Prime Minister Justin Trudeau responded to Trump’s initial threats by saying Canada would impose 25 per cent retaliatory tariffs on $155-billion worth of U.S. goods and respond swiftly to any steel and aluminum import taxes if they are imposed on Canada.Joly says the U.S. government took notice when stock markets started “tanking” and American consumers started fretting about the price of gasoline going up.
Addressing the crowd in Munich, Joly said the European Union should consider Canada a “canary in a coal mine,” adding that European countries can expect the same treatment from Trump, who has already signalled his intention to impose tariffs on the EU. Joly suggested Canadians have responded favourably to the Liberal government’s moves, saying the result has been significant leap in public opinion polls, largely erasing the big lead the Conservatives have enjoyed for the past two years.
