CTV News' chief political correspondent Vassy Kapelos says Canada was notified this morning by the U.S. that China, Mexico and Canada will be subject to tariffs: 25 per cent across the board with the exception of energy, which will be 10 per cent.

It would take effect on Tuesday and would be in place until the fentanyl overdose issue is sorted.

Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs Dominic LeBlanc and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will announce a Canadian response at 6 p.m. ET tonight.

A senior government source tells CTV News that Ottawa is expecting something formal at 2 p.m. EST. Cabinet is set to meet at 3 p.m. EST.

Any retaliatory tariffs by Canada should be in place until the guns coming from the US issue is sorted.

I've said this elsewhere, but the fent thing is bullshit. Trump is using a 1977 law called the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to enforce these tariffs without going through congress. In order to do that he has to be applying them for the purpose of addressing a specific state of emergency. That's why they keep talking about fent and migrants; it's a figleaf to let them end run around congress because they don't have the votes.
