The Canadian government intends to bring in dollar for dollar tariffs to match the US tariffs, as per a statement form Mark Carney
"In the coming days, the government will introduce additional measures to support Canadian workers and businesses, building on the nearly $25 billion in support provided over the past 18 months."
"In recent weeks, we made important progress toward improving Canada’s position as having the best deal in the world with the U.S.
However, that progress has not been enough to meet our objectives for Canadians. As a result, this evening, I have decided to suspend trade negotiations with the U.S. and have directed Canada’s negotiators to return to Ottawa. They have worked hard, in good faith, to defend the interests of Canadians throughout these negotiations up until the very last minute. However, last-minute changes in the U.S. proposed terms were unfair, uneconomic, and called into question the reliability of any deal."

Senior Trump administration official: Agreement would have reduced tariffs substantially
With a couple hours to go before new tariffs come into place, the Canadian side still says there’s more work to do—but Donald Trump is more positive, saying a deal should be had.
Optimism not share by Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, who got involved in negotiations and made it clear he thinks it’s a bad deal for the U.S., sources tell Global News.
Multiple Canadian businesses and labour leaders we’ve spoken to also aren’t happy with the deal based on details that have been reported.
That unhappiness spilled over on a call with a senior Canadian official, who said this is the best possible deal for Canada— a line that went over poorly with some, who are unhappy Canada seems set to formalizing U.S. tariffs at a level similar to where they were at start of the trade war #cdnpoli
