The primary topic at hand for most leaders? The threat of tariffs from U.S. President Donald Trump, who has vowed to impose new 50 per cent levies on Canadian imports in just one month.
“We can’t keep rolling over for Donald Trump,” Ontario Premier Doug Ford said at the meeting, adding that he expects Carney to “lead the way” and “come up with a strong plan over the next 29 days.”
Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe said he was “positive and bullish” Canada would work its way towards an agreement with the U.S. amid what he noted was Trump’s tenth round of tariff threats. Moe added that a renewed CUSMA free trade agreement — which the U.S. declined to extend earlier this month — would be “in everyone’s best interest in North America.”
And even though tariffs haven’t taken a huge hit on Alberta, Premier Danielle Smith expressed her desire for the province to be 100 per cent tariff-free. “Tariffs don’t help anyone she said.”
Trump’s latest tariff threat serves as a retaliation to Canada’s decision to stop buying and selling American beer, wine and spirits — a move that was in response to Trump’s initial wave of tariffs in 2025.
