Deadline looms as Trump’s 50 per cent tariffs set to kick in just after midnight
U.S. President Donald Trump’s latest tariff threat on $28 billion worth of Canadian goods is set to take effect just after midnight, unless officials are able to finalize a trade agreement.
In July, Trump said he would impose a new 50 per cent tariff on a wide range of Canadians goods in retaliation for Canada’s booze bans, auto tariffs and quotas on tariff-free access for U.S. dairy.
They were set to come into effect just after midnight Wednesday, but that deadline was pushed back until Saturday to allow time to turn the agreed-upon deal into a legal agreement.
Canada-U.S. Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc and Canada’s chief negotiator Janice Charette have met with U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer in Washington several times to hammer out the deal.

David Coletto, CEO of Abacus Data, says the perception of crime can last longer than reality, so even with Statistics Canada data showing falling crime rates, many Canadians aren’t yet believing it.
In July, Statistics Canada said both the rates and severity of reported crime were down almost across the board in 2025.
The federal Conservative Party maintains nothing has changed, pointing to statistics which suggest crime has increased since the Liberals and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau were elected in 2015.
