Frechette holds mid-campaign cabinet meeting ahead of counter-tariffs
World2 sources1 country🔦 Under-reported55m ago
Quebec Premier Christine Fréchette has temporarily suspended her election campaign to convene a special mid-campaign cabinet meeting on Monday. The meeting takes place in Montreal just one day before Canada's retaliatory measures are scheduled to go into effect.
The strategic gathering is in direct response to U.S. President Donald Trump's implementation of 50 per cent tariffs. In retaliation, Canada is preparing to levy its own counter-tariffs on a broad selection of U.S. goods beginning on September 8.
