Kinew says there was broad consensus in a virtual meeting Thursday with Prime Minister Mark Carney after Carney said Canada will hit back with matching tariffs on vehicles imported from the U.S.
Kinew says Canada’s response sends a message to Americans that this country won’t be pushed around while also carving out enough items to offer some protection to Canadian consumers and manufacturers.

Kinew says there are still concerns about U.S. tariffs, despite the fact Canada was not included on a list of countries announced by President Donald Trump this week for additional tariffs.
He says existing U.S. tariffs on steel and other goods will affect Manitoba, as will Chinese tariffs on items like canola and pork.
Kinew says Canada’s approach must involve countermeasures and dialogue with U.S. lawmakers and business leaders.
“We need to continue to send a message to Americans about the really harmful impacts that the Trump tariffs are going to have,” Kinew told reporters Thursday.
“We’re going to continue to make that case by having these retaliatory measures but we’re going to continue to lean into the relationships.”
