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.

until the fentanyl uverdose issue is sorted

Ah yes, make our international relationship dependent on some nebulous, unachievable standard that you just pulled out of your ass. Make us think we've been the shitty trade partner and give us the cold shoulder until we prove how much we really want this.

Trump is coming up with excuses after the fact and trying to blame us for his own toxic behaviour. Textbook abuser nonsense.
