Poilievre says Canadian counter-tariffs should go to fund tax cuts
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre announced a response to U.S. President Donald Trump's 25% tariffs on Canadian goods, stating that Canadians will suffer economically due to these tariffs.
Poilievre suggested that revenue from counter-tariffs should primarily fund tax cuts and support workers affected by the trade war.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau mentioned that the federal government is considering non-tariff measures and expanding employment insurance benefits for Canadians.
Poilievre emphasized that Canada will respond firmly to the economic attack, asserting that the country is worth fighting for.
