‘No room left for Mexico or Canada’ to make a deal, Trump says
U.S. President Donald Trump says his long-threatened trade war is going ahead with tariffs on Canadian goods set to take effect just after midnight and there’s nothing Canada can do to stop them.
Speaking to reporters at the White House, Trump said the United States has been “a laughingstock for years and years” and he needs to take trade action against its continental neighbours.
He said Canada has allowed fentanyl to flood into the U.S. despite data that shows the claim is false.
“Very importantly, tomorrow, tariffs, 25 per cent on Canada and 25 per cent on Mexico, and that will start. So, they’re gonna have to have a tariff,” Trump said.
Ontario Premier Doug Ford, who just won a landslide majority government last week on an election promise to take on Trump and his tariffs, said the premiers are waiting to see what happens over the next 24 hours.

Less than half of all eligible voters decided to show up. They must love the idea of FORD robbing Ontario blind.
again and again and again…
The majority of Ontarians wanted another party. In the long run, the only viable solution is proportional representation: !fairvote@lemmy.ca
I tried.
We had just 49% turnout.
