She said that 'a list of products worth 200 billion Canadian Dollars ($139bn) would send a message to the US about the hard tariffs would cause them.'

Chrystia Freeland, the former finance minister who is running to replace Justin Trudeau as Canada's prime minister, says her country needs to release a “retaliation list” of goods the country would target if U.

The former finance minister said her plan calls for the immediate release of a long list of $200 billion in retaliatory tariffs to deter Trump from making good on his threat to impose 25 per cent tariffs on Canadian imports as soon as February.

A key candidate running to replace Justin Trudeau as Canada’s prime minister is calling for an international summit to hammer out a joint response to US President Donald Trump’s tariff and sovereignty threats.

Freeland is also calling for a “buy Canadian” plan in the event Trump moves ahead on the tariffs, threatening to cut off the U.S. from Canadian government procurement — with the exception of defence.
