Poilievre tells Carney in letter to not concede to U.S. demands in tariff talks
Poilievre says Canada has already made concessions as the United States prepares 50% tariffs on some Canadian goods, and urges Carney to hold firm.
- Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is urging Prime Minister Mark Carney to reject U.S. President Donald Trump's demands on Canadian dairy, arguing Ottawa has already made sufficient concessions during trade negotiations.
- The United States has repeatedly cited Canada's supply management system as a key trade irritant, with Trump frequently complaining about the lack of "Access to Canada" for American dairy farmers.
- A new round of 50 per cent U.S. tariffs on Canadian goods is set to take effect in about 10 days, while Poilievre notes Ottawa previously eliminated counter-tariffs and the digital service tax to appease Trump.
- Carney said Thursday his government remains loyal to the supply management system as Dairy Farmers of Canada urged officials not to offer further concessions in trade talks.
- Poilievre asserts Canadians deserve a government with a backbone, stating Conservatives support building domestic strength and leverage to secure a tariff-free deal with the United States.
