Canadian industry experts, union leaders issue dire warnings about tariff effects
Several premiers are decrying U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision to impose punishing tariffs on virtually all Canadian goods and calling for a powerful retaliatory response from Ottawa and the country as a whole.
Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Andrew Furey said on Saturday that "we’re in a moment that is historic, an existential threat to the country. It’s not just an economic attack — I believe this to be an attack on Canadians, an attack on their values, on our sovereignty.
“It’s a moment where we need to stand strong and united in such an assault,” Furey told CBC News.

BC and NF Premiers were much more forceful than Trudeau, who was very disappointing in complete lack of anger, and desperation to restore alliance. Canada can only restore alliance by breaking it off in face of declaration of war.
