No deal is better than a bad deal. Ottawa must stop chasing tariff relief at the expense of Canadian workers, resources and sovereignty

Canada must resist striking a bad deal to end U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs, even if it means more short-term pain, because surrendering key industries and sovereignty will cost far more in the long run.

Canadian concessions to the Trump agenda—including cancelling a multibillion-dollar digital services tax, introducing worrying border and immigration reforms, and potential participation in a costly continental missile defence scheme—have clearly gone unnoticed in Washington. And the federal government walked back most of the retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods introduced earlier this year.

Will critical industries and our sovereignty be the price we pay for relief from Trump’s tariffs?
