U.S. President Donald Trump has signed an executive order to double pre-existing tariffs on American steel and aluminium imports from 25 to 50 per cent. Mercedes Stephenson explains how the Republican leader is justifying his decision, how soon the hike will take effect and how Canadian officials are reacting.
And, the Canadian government has introduced a bill aimed at tightening Canada-U.S. border security. It gives new powers to border officers, police, Canada Post workers and even Health Canada. David Akin explains how the bill is trying to balance U.S. President Donald Trump’s demands with Canada’s domestic concerns about illegal immigration and fentanyl trafficking.

He says Canada is facing tariffs, but it is the USA customers that are facing tariff prices.
Because Trump is mad, that, we have a True King who spoke for Canada. Now Trump wants to show how powerful he is!! Trump is a wee little man who wants to start WW111!
If you don't know why you're clearly not paying attention
PP still hiding under trumps desk 😂 he is scared he may miss out his supply from India now
should have comments off with that question in the title
so you can be more like cbc lol
Now the truth. Trump wants aluminum and steel production to grow in the United States. He’s a proper leader.
Liberals had 10 year and Trump was able to help secure our borders. So you’re against this for what reason?
Oh, it’s just tariffs, right? Totally normal behavior to double tariffs on your biggest trading partner while calling their border “an imaginary line.” Trump doesn’t see a sovereign nation — he sees real estate he hasn’t slapped his name on yet. And corporate media? Still playing dumb like it’s a minor trade spat. If you’re too scared to say out loud that he wants to annex Canada, maybe get out of journalism and go write horoscopes.
TACO gonna chicken out again. Don't worry.
weak response from libs.looks more like bend over than elbows up with fed banker Carney
We need to increase tariffs on electricty Now!
I like the C2 bill, it comes at a great time, so much drugs, weapons come in packages overseas and needs to be scanned at checked etc at the customs
Triple the electricity on every states.Put 75% tarrifs on electricity
Canada produces 12.7 million metric tons of steel annually. Canada uses 13 million metric tons annually. It appears we have a shortage and should not be shipping any steel at all.
I'm saddened that our government is becoming the way the felon in the states wants just to assuage his insanity and fear mongering about immigration There can be a militarized immigration system around refugees. We all should understand what to takes to come here. It's the same in the states. It is incredible difficult ad costly to immigrate there. We already know that fentanyl going int the staes from Canada is minuscule. He has created a problem to look like he is making it batter when in reality he is bullying Canada.
Dord forge… you spit on me one summer aka "dry summer" Lol plus don't be nasty and ruin me day yes? Good day, first nation that lives on the land out…
Taco 🌮
Gaza needs to surrender.
He's mad about TACO trade 😂
Guys a clown! Can't wait til he's out of office
Ffs stop giving airtime to the dictator and look elsewhere.
Trump pretty much completely changed his policies after he got into office. So they voted for him based under false pretenses. I think a president should be immediately impeached for doing that.
May Love Peace Prevail In The World
Taco will change his tone in two days
MR. CARNEY YOU MAKE US CANADIANS PROUD. IT WILL BE HARD TIME FOR A WILD. WE GOT TO STAY STRONG AND UNITED.❤
THANK YOU MR FORD AND MR. LEBLANC AND TO ALL ARE PREMIERS. IT WILL BE SOME HARD TIME. BUT WE GOT TO HAVE HOPE AND UNITED. WE HAVE HOPE AND FAITH.❤
All he wants is to get Carney to the table, polite letters don’t work
I used to wonder whether German citizens would have risen up against Hitler had the Holocaust been fully televised for all to see. I guess I have my answer… Isreal is committing a genocide plain, simple, and fully documented before our eyes. It's a damn shame Canada is too cowerdly to call it like it is and defend human dignity. This will be a stain on our history.
Norway does well with govt oil and piplines, why have american pr chinese or other foreign private sector profit off our resources instead of offestting pur taxes
These terrifs have got nothing to do with border security and drugs. Trump is a business man. And he is using terrifs to stock pile money so he can give his billionair buddies tax brakes. And we are all paying paying for it. If the law is still being enforced, trump will be going to jail for the fraud he is pulling here.
Mrs Ellie Kent Mills, my Finance Consultant, told me All Political Moves are Money Making Moves. Even when others are screaming recession, she still returns a consistent 41% on My Money
Because of Canada’s idiotic liberal leadership we’re in this mess.
How did you forget toturn off the comments
LOL – how long is that going to last? Trump throws another temper tantrum, but once his nurse has calmed him down and put him to bed with his soother, he'll make another declaration putting the tariffs "on hold for two weeks." TACO.
Just tariff gas and power.
I guess we can help the states put fires out but where's USA WHEN WE NEED HELP. TRUMP DOESN'T NEED ANYTHING RIGHT.
The devil is in the details !
I love the circus and know this will be epic
We are running out of steel and aluminum, and they think this will help 😂😂
He started with all this nonesense again the day after the Throne Speech. He saw in full colour where the Kings loyalty is, and is throwing a man baby tantrum.
"Why is Trump doubling steel and aluminium tariffs?" Because, Americans can afford the extra cost, the US Government gets extra taxes, and the billionaire oligarchs will receive tremendous benefits through the stock market bounce, and Trump, the Criminal, Wannabe King of the planet, gets credit for being so smart. Right?
He did say stop the steel 😅
Donald trump American Boss feench connection
Donald trump American Boss
Anyone who thinks Canada is any better should talk to those on disability being starved by Ford and Carney. I have blood cancer and soon wont be able to afford food, thanks to rich non caring empathy vacant politicians and selfish wealthy Canadians.😢😢
Bill c2 is an invasion on Canadians privacy rights
Only 0.08 million people work in the US steel industry in 2025.
But 340 million Americans have to pay the 50% additional tariffs on steel products.
