Trudeau to meet premiers as Trump tariff uncertainty continues – National

Sweeping tariffs could hit Canada’s economy as early as next week, even as government leaders and labour groups meet to discuss further steps amid the uncertainty.

Trudeau’s itinerary for Wednesday said he “will host a virtual meeting with provincial and territorial premiers.”

The prime minister will also chair a meeting of the federal cabinet, though the Prime Minister’s Office did not say what time either of Trudeau’s meetings will take place.

U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday said tariffs were “on schedule” to arrive on March 4, although he did not clarify whether he meant the broad-based 25 per cent tariffs on Canada or the reciprocal tariffs he announced on all of America’s trade partners.

The ********* Press reported Wednesday, citing a White House official, that the tariff plans could change through negotiations.

Bea Bruske, president of the ********* Labour Congress, said Canada has to prepare for the tariffs.

The CLC says Canada needs a “comprehensive, worker-first strategy” to protect jobs, industries and communities from economic disruption.

It says now is the time to diversify trade, invest in domestic industries and strengthen protections for ********* workers by rolling out special employment insurance measures and financial assistance.

The CLC is also calling for Canada to consider imposing “significant and impactful tariffs” on the U.S. and cutting off its access to critical resources like electricity, lumber, minerals, oil and gas if tariffs are applied.
