A 35 per cent U.S. tariff slams Canadian agri-food and puts farmers, jobs and grocery bills at risk

Interview requests

Canada has stumbled into its worst trade crisis in a generation.

On Aug. 1, while Mexico secured a reprieve, Ottawa failed to secure a deal before the tariff deadline, and now Canadian agri-food producers face a crushing 35 per cent U.S. tariff. For farmers and consumers alike, this isn’t a policy tweak. It’s a gut punch.

A tariff this steep is almost unheard of between close trading partners. It effectively prices many Canadian goods out of the U.S. market overnight.

Prime Minister Mark Carney—the seasoned economist who campaigned on his negotiating acumen and international gravitas—is failing. Instead of delivering results, Parliament was sent home for the summer, and Ottawa’s silence echoed through what is arguably Canada’s most consequential trade dispute in a generation.
