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.

New numbers from Abacus Data show that 33 per cent of respondents view the former Bank of Canada governor positively, compared to 29 per cent for the former finance minister.

Liberal leadership candidate Chrystia Freeland argues Canada can turn the tables on U.S. President Donald Trump and avoid massive U.S. tariffs on Canadian goods by scaring key American businesses. 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.

Should President Trump impose a 25% tariff on Canadian imports as he has promised, Freeland said Canada should also direct government departments and agencies to stop purchasing goods and services from U.S. companies, and prohibit U.S. firms from bidding on government contracts, with the exception of defense.

Liberal leadership hopeful Chrystia Freeland says her top rival Mark Carney appears to be “the choice of the Liberal establishment” as more federal cabinet ministers rally around the former Bank of Canada governor.

Federal Liberal leadership candidate Chrystia Freeland says she is going to take the party in a more “practical” and “pragmatic” direction if she is elected leader. Freeland is one of six candidates who are vying for the leadership, and thus the status of Prime Minister when Justin Trudeau steps down.
