Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew says Canada can’t be tariff ‘punching bag’
January 29, 2025
Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew said Wednesday he still hopes Canada can avoid United States tariffs, but the country will have to respond strongly if U.S. President Donald Trump follows through on a threat to slap a 25 per cent charge on Canadian goods.“If tariffs get applied, Canada’s response has to be noticed. We can’t be a punching bag,” Kinew told reporters.“And we have to get our elbows up and let other folks know that we’re in the ring there too.”
