Poilievre tells Carney in letter to not concede to U.S. demands in tariff talks
Poilievre says Canada has already made concessions as the United States prepares 50% tariffs on some Canadian goods, and urges Carney to hold firm.
- Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is urging Prime Minister Mark Carney to reject U.S. President Donald Trump's demands on Canadian dairy, arguing Ottawa has already made sufficient concessions during trade negotiations.
- The United States has repeatedly cited Canada's supply management system as a key trade irritant, with Trump frequently complaining about the lack of "Access to Canada" for American dairy farmers.
- A new round of 50 per cent U.S. tariffs on Canadian goods is set to take effect in about 10 days, while Poilievre notes Ottawa previously eliminated counter-tariffs and the digital service tax to appease Trump.
- Carney said Thursday his government remains loyal to the supply management system as Dairy Farmers of Canada urged officials not to offer further concessions in trade talks.
- Poilievre asserts Canadians deserve a government with a backbone, stating Conservatives support building domestic strength and leverage to secure a tariff-free deal with the United States.

Poilievre tells Carney in letter to not concede to U.S. demands in tariff talks
OTTAWA - Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is asking the prime minister to not concede to U.S. President Donald Trump's demands during trade negotiations.
With less than two weeks until the U.S. imposes a 50% tariff on Canadian goods, the two countries are intensifying negotiations. Sources familiar with the negotiations indicate that Canada is considering making concessions on several trade issues of concern to the Trump administration in exchange for the U.S. lowering some of its industry tariffs on Canadian goods.
