Canada will “of course” come to the negotiating table again, but not to be treated like a “subsidiary” of the US, Prime Minister Carney said after US President Trump imposed 50% tariffs and threatened more. “An attitude at the negotiation table that Canada is a subsidiary of the US…  that’s not something we’re going to accept,” Carney said. …“There is a mutually beneficial deal possible here, but it has to be one that respects Canada’s sovereignty, that respects our independence, that uses our complementary strengths to build something better,” Carney added. …Trump on Monday said, “Someone should get these clowns to “fall in line” or, the consequences for Canada will be far WORSE!” …Canada’s forestry sector groups welcomed the federal government’s decision to extend support for businesses affected by Trump’s new tariffs. …The new tariffs could take off between 0.3 to 0.5 per cent off Canada’s GDP, said Deloitte’s Dawn Desjardins.
