How Canada could strike back at the US economy — and Trump

Canada is weighing several economic levers to counter escalating US tariffs, according to a report by the BBC.

Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government is finalising “dollar-for-dollar” duties on steel, dairy, appliances and other goods, while officials have not ruled out targeting US energy exports, on which America heavily depends. Ontario Premier Doug Ford floated a possible electricity surcharge and warned against cutting off potash supplies.

Canada has already hurt US industries through provincial alcohol bans and a travel boycott, costing American wine exporters and tourism billions. Polls show most Canadians support Ottawa’s hardline stance despite expected economic pain.
