Chrystia Freeland, a Liberal leadership candidate, urges Canada to retaliate against US tariffs with specific targets like Tesla vehicles and US alcohol. She proposes a 100% tariff on US wine, beer, and spirits, and all Teslas, aiming to send a message that attacking Canadian trade will have consequences for Trump's allies.
OTTAWA — Liberal leadership candidate Chrystia Freeland is calling on Ottawa to target Tesla vehicles and U.S. alcohol as part of its tariff retaliation package to send a message that an attack on Canadian trade would not be cost-free for Trump's allies.
"We need to be very targeted, very surgical, very precise," Freeland said."We need to look through and say who is supporting Trump and how can we make them pay a price for a tariff attack on Canada." Tesla's chief financial officer warned on an earnings call earlier this week that tariffs could hurt the company's profitability.
