CTV News' chief political correspondent Vassy Kapelos says Canada was notified this morning by the U.S. that China, Mexico and Canada will be subject to tariffs: 25 per cent across the board with the exception of energy, which will be 10 per cent.

It would take effect on Tuesday and would be in place until the fentanyl overdose issue is sorted.

Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs Dominic LeBlanc and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will announce a Canadian response at 6 p.m. ET tonight.

A senior government source tells CTV News that Ottawa is expecting something formal at 2 p.m. EST. Cabinet is set to meet at 3 p.m. EST.

Can we invite the Canadians to come burn the White House again?

No. Please tend do your own bitterly divided house first.

We're not here to do your dirty work, we just help you in your time of need, like letting you land your planes in our country and housing your travellers when terrorists blow up your building and cause your airspace to be shut down.

You know. The kind of actions that earn you tariffs.

Some of us tried. I just hope that when it does crash, It doesn't take the Great White North with it. I am on the west coast, maybe we can join Canada while the fascist idiots aren't looking.

You guys will need to clean the orange shit stain from it before I'll touch it with a 1000km pole. That's toxic fascist shit.

I would like to apologize to my Canadian friends, some of us are trying to stop this. I hope you guys can get through this okay. The America I grew up in seems to have spun so wildly off the rails, that I now consider us a wrecking ball to the rest of the free world.

You kind of have been for quite a while, this is just the first time the damage has been big and close enough for the rubble to fall back on yourselves.

Honestly, we should probably burn it down ourselves. … … … In Minecraft if course
