Premier suggests more conversations, more targeted tariffs, NDP responds
Premier Scott Moe says Canada retaliating with broad-based, dollar-for-dollar tariffs against the U.S. if they come to fruition is not the answer, because it hurts Canadians and the general economy. He says his government is not supportive of broad-based tariffs on anything Canadians produce. Instead, the Premier would like to see targeted tariffs which would affect certain American policy makers in their regions. He explains that there would be a small batch of tariffs targeting where U.S. policy makers are, so the people making the decisions are most affected.
