Ottawa has imposed 25 per cent counter-tariffs on American goods as part of Canada's retaliation to U.S. President Donald Trump's trade war.
Trump followed through on a months-long threat on Tuesday, slapping a 25 per cent tariff on virtually all Canadian goods and a 10 per cent tariff on Canadian energy.
In retaliation, Canada will slap 25 per cent tariffs on $30 billion worth of American goods coming into Canada as of Tuesday. The tariffs will then be applied to another $125 billion worth of American imports after a three-week consultation period.
"Canadians are reasonable and we are polite but we will not back down from a fight — not when our country and the well-being of everyone is at stake," Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said during a news conference Tuesday.
"Your government has chosen to do this to you," Trudeau said in remarks directed at the American people. "A fight with Canada will have no winners."
The federal government had initially released the full list of products that will be taxed when Trump first moved to impose tariffs last month before briefly stalling the U.S. measures.
The list includes some supply managed products that were given Canadian market access as concessions during the negotiation of the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA).
Here is a breakdown of what Canada is targeting:
