Canada’s provincial and territorial leaders, led by Ontario Premier Doug Ford, are calling for an urgent meeting with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to address the implications of former President Donald Trump's re-election on trade, borders, and supply chains.
Doug Ford , Premier of Ontario, looks on during a press conference at the meeting of the Council of the Federation, where Canada's provincial and territorial leaders meet, in Halifax, Monday, Nov. 6, 2023. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Kelly ClarkOTTAWA - Canada’s premiers are asking Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to hold an urgent first ministers' meeting ahead of the return to office of president-elect Donald Trump .
The re-election of the often unpredictable and protectionist former president has spooked a number of countries as they wait to see if he makes good on promises of mass deportation of undocumented residents and across-the-board import tariffs. Premier Doug Ford, who chairs the premiers' association known as the Council of the Federation, tells Trudeau in a letter today that premiers want to be part of a “Team Canada” approach to everything from trade and secure borders to energy, defence and cross-border supply chains.
He says they also want clarity on how Ottawa will engage with them about the upcoming review of the North American free trade agreement, which has to happen in 2026.
