We have received political signals at the highest level – good signals – including from the United States, from our European friends. According to all reports, aid shipments have been restored.
The Liberal Party’s polling surge is Canada’s largest ever.
“Our forecast suggests Mark Carney has an 83% chance of winning. That is thanks to Trump.”

@VoiceOfFranky Some of the more "interesting" responses to your analysis & polling ignore a very salient point; most pollsters are showing varying degree of leads for @liberal_party on nat'l polls. Provincial polls are more telling & indicative of lib strength. #cdnpoli
Canada and Mexico have announced retaliatory tariffs on US goods following President Donald Trump's announcement of steep levies on the countries https://t.co/gffVleMOxG
@VoiceOfFranky@JustinTrudeau Neither do I. The lunacy of the orange one runs deep as does his ambivalence to the well being of his own citizens who will suffer frome these foolish tariffs. #cdnpoli
@VoiceOfFranky is smarter than I am. Frank, can you explain to me how the levying of tariffs prevents an addict from injecting themselves with fentanyl? Cdns aren't stupid & the polling is showing more & more Cdns are standing with @JustinTrudeau against this lunacy. #cdnpoli
Canadians have been nothing but the strongest allies and the best neighbours to the United States.
These tariffs are completely unjustifiable, and Canadians are united in the face of this economic threat.
Canada will not back down.
Retaliatory tariffs will apply to ~30% of Canada's imports from the U.S.
While the list of items is not yet out, this amount suggests to me that intermediate inputs will largely avoid a tariff on Canada's side, which mitigates some of the #cdnecon costs from this response.
Trudeau cites how “Canadians fought and died” beside you. Cites Iranian hostage crisis. Hurricane Katrina. La fires. 911. “We were always there”. He is not wrong to cite these key moments. The sense of betrayal is palpable.
I've generally not been impressed with Trudeau as a speechmaker, but this one rose to the occasion at the most crucial moment, both in its content and its delivery
Trudeau: I think Canadians are a little perplexed as to why our closest friends and neighbors are choosing to target us.
I don’t think there are a lot of Americans who wake up in the morning saying, "Oh, damn Canada. Oh, we should really go after Canada."
Yeah, sorry about that.
You see, half of us voted for an absolute moron - again - and handed over our government to a bunch of right-wing freaks and billionaires
President Trump thinks we’re pushovers. He doesn’t know Canadians.
We will stand up for our country. We will stand united. We will get stronger. Together.
In response to the American tariffs, I have directed government and crown agencies to exclude US suppliers from any new purchasing or procurement agreements.
It’s just one of the actions we are taking to prioritize Canada first.
