Canadian Leaders Rally to Block Trump’s Trade Moves
In a bold move to counter potential U.S. tariffs, Canadian PM Justin Trudeau and most provincial leaders issued a joint statement Wednesday, vowing to protect the economy. The rare show of unity comes as President-elect Donald Trump threatens a 25% tariff on all Canadian goods unless border security tightens. 🌎💼
Alberta’s Dissent Sparks Tensions
While most provinces backed the plan, oil-rich Alberta refused to sign. Premier Danielle Smith warned that banning Alberta oil exports to the U.S. as retaliation could trigger a 'national unity crisis.' 🔥🛢️
What’s Next for Canada?
The statement promises 'rapid' financial support for workers and businesses hit by tariffs, plus weekly meetings after Trump’s Jan. 20 inauguration. Trudeau’s cabinet will even skip the swearing-in ceremony to strategize. 💡📅 'No one region should bear the burden alone,' Trudeau emphasized. Stay tuned as this trade drama unfolds! 📈✨
