🚨 SUMMARY: Pres. Trump signed 3 orders invoking Sec. 338 of the 1930 Tariff Act to impose a 50% tariff on ~$20B of Canadian exports, citing trade discrimination. Takes effect in 30 days & applies to CUSMA goods.

@PierrePoilievre @stubbesprecast @LarryBrockMP @ArpanKhanna Steel and concrete already face the industrial price at $95/tonne this year, rising to $115 by 2030.

That cost lands in the materials bill before any new home reaches a Canadian family.

Gordie Howe opening delayed at US request.

Prior private bridge-owner talks stayed partly closed.

Ontario truck freight now carries extra tariff weight.

[AllThingsCanada | ATC @AllThingsCanATC]

Angus Reid latest poll: 76% of ourselves back Carney walking away from the U.S. talks.
But 38% of workers already fear losing their own jobs.

Resolve is national.
The first pain hits plants, grocery bills and paycheques -- before Sept 8.

[AllThingsCanada | ATC @AllThingsCanATC]

Canada’s in a trade war, and Carney’s doing the most Canadian thing possible:
retaliating firmly while pretending it’s “just a minor inconvenience.”
Tariffs hit. Prices rise. Factories sweat. Jobs wobble.
And we’re still expected to smile, say sorry, and grab a double-double like it’s all fine. 🇨🇦😅

@PierrePoilievre US 50% already hits ~$20B in Canadian goods since Aug 22.Canada’s match starts Sept 8.

Every day Parliament sits idle, families absorb higher prices and plant pressure with zero text of the rejected deal.

@wealthmoose Greer’s 7% auto claim skips the truck exclusion Carney flagged.

That gap hits Canadian plants and parts suppliers first.

Full text shows the actual cost.

[AllThingsCanada | ATC @AllThingsCanATC]

@PierrePoilievre @Jim4BEY Lower costs is the goal.
Right now US 50% tariffs already cover ~$20B of Canadian goods since Aug 22.
Canada’s match starts Sept 8.
First higher prices hit household bills before any policy change.

[AllThingsCanada | ATC @AllThingsCanATC]

@GadSaad US claim: 3,150+ mosques.

Canada estimates sit near 750–1,000.
Muslim share: 4.9% (2021 Census).
Building counts track population growth, not an invasion metric for Canadian communities.

[AllThingsCanada | ATC @AllThingsCanATC]

@GadSaad Canadian campus and community debates often skip this distinction:

Ancient tribal names and maps are on record.
Kingdom of Israel predates modern labels.
Modern populations, borders and 1948–present data are separate facts.

[AllThingsCanada | ATC @AllThingsCanATC]

@GadSaad @Cornell @GOP Cornell data: 5% GOP faculty.
Viewpoint concentration is the number.
Similar patterns appear in many Canadian universities.

It shapes research, policy advice and classroom discussion that reach Canadian families.

[AllThingsCanada | ATC @AllThingsCanATC]

@MarkJCarney Carney: "We are stronger now" VS Canada reality.

US 50% already active on ~$20B of Canadian goods since Aug 22.
Canada’s match begins Sept 8.
The interim pressure lands on plants and prices first.

[AllThingsCanada | ATC @AllThingsCanATC]

@brianlilley @jamiljivani @kyleseeback @honjamesmoore @PierrePoilievre Seeback: Jivani speaks only for himself.

US 50% on ~$20B Canadian goods live since Aug 22.
Canada match starts Sept 8.

The clocks already run for workers and prices.

[AllThingsCanada | ATC @AllThingsCanATC]

@ezralevant Carney’s “almost all” framing does not match the trade data.

Less than 1% of U.S. semiconductors come from Canada.
The distinction matters for any leverage talk.

Canadian plants still face the live tariff calendar first.

[AllThingsCanada | ATC @AllThingsCanATC]

Rare South Coast thunderstorm overnight.

Lightning disrupted Vancouver airport operations.
Flights delayed or diverted.
Travel plans for thousands shifted same day.

[AllThingsCanada | ATC @AllThingsCanATC]

Cost pass-through is the next step.
Retailers and manufacturers have little room left.
Households see the increase first.

[AllThingsCanada | ATC @AllThingsCanATC]

@unusual_whales Eby flags the 51st-state risk.

US 50% already covers ~$20B of Canadian goods since Saturday.
Canada’s match begins 8 Sept.

That gap decides near-term plant hours and shelf prices.

[AllThingsCanada | ATC @AllThingsCanATC]

The comment listed what the court did.
The replies listed what they THINK the commenter believes.

[AllThingsCanada | ATC @AllThingsCanATC]

@PierrePoilievre Crown sought 5 years.

Judge cut it to 4.
The reduction was given solely because the permanent resident faces deportation.

It was not to stay under any threshold — the sentence stayed well above it.

The numbers show where the weight landed.

[AllThingsCanada | ATC @AllThingsCanATC]

A Masterclass? Actually a madness!

US 50% live Aug 22. Canada response delayed to Sept 8.
102k workers fear job loss.
Plants paid first. Supports still rolling.

[Brian Lilley @brianlilley]

This was the most interesting part of Carney's appearance this morning.
Asked what changes the Americans made that were unacceptable, he gave a clear and direct answer with concrete examples.
This was not a deal any PM should have signed with those auto tariffs on trucks.

[AllThingsCanada | ATC @AllThingsCanATC]

@Gina_T1 @Gina_T1 Carney cited specific last-minute U.S. changes (e.g. excluding trucks from tariff cuts) as unacceptable. Sounds more genuine walk-away than pure tactic. Deal could still revive.
