Canada and the U.S. are locked in a high-stakes trade showdown, with tariffs looming Wednesday unless negotiators strike a deal. Canadian officials are working frantically in Washington to avoid $20 billion in penalties, while Prime Minister Carney stays silent on details, calling talks “delicate and intense.” The U.S. demands Canada drop retaliatory auto tariffs, adjust dairy quotas, and lift alcohol sales bans — but provinces won’t budge without concessions on steel, aluminum, and autos. Public opinion in Canada leans toward defiance, as most feel the dispute’s costs are hitting home. With no final agreement yet and time running out, Canada’s chief negotiator warns new tariffs could derail future talks — and Carney vows he won’t sign a bad deal. The next 48 hours could decide whether Canada becomes a punching bag or secures a lifeline.
