1. U.S. President Donald Trump said Canada's efforts to tighten security at the border are "not good enough," a day after triggering a North American trade war. Trump spoke to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Wednesday and the two leaders discussed "trade and fentanyl," according to a readout from the Prime Minister's Office. All eyes are on Washington after Trump slapped a sweeping 25 per cent tariff on Canadian and Mexican goods. Do you agree with Trump's sweeping 25% tariffs on Canadian goods?

2. Trump has repeatedly cited the flow of fentanyl as the reason for imposing tariffs on Canada and Mexico. At a press conference on Tuesday, Trudeau said that excuse was "completely bogus" and there was "no justification" for the new tariffs, because less than 1% of the fentanyl intercepted at the US border comes from Canada. "So we actually have to fold back on the one thing he has said repeatedly — that what he wants is to see a total collapse of the Canadian economy, because that will make it easier to annex us, is the second half of his thought." Do you agree with Trudeau's statement that Trump is only doing this to make it easier for the U.S. to annex Canada?

3. In response to Trump's tariffs, Canada, its provinces and its people have taken several retaliatory measures. Here are some of them— which ones do you agree with?

4. U.S. consumers could face higher costs on essential goods due to tariffs on Canadian imports. Canada is a major supplier of resources like oil, natural gas, softwood lumber, and car parts, all of which would become more expensive. Energy costs would rise, impacting fuel prices; home construction and renovation would get pricier due to higher lumber costs; and car prices would increase as many U.S. vehicles rely on Canadian-made parts. Additionally, higher potash prices would lead to more expensive fertilizer, potentially raising food production costs. Even if some Americans think they don't buy Canadian products, Canada is integral to the U.S. supply chain. If you live in America, are you concerned about the potential impact of these tariffs on your daily life and expenses?

5. The relationship between Canada and the United States has long been one of the closest and most important trade partnerships in the world. However, with the ongoing trade tensions, many wonder about the long-term effects of two friendly nations being embroiled in a trade war. From rising costs on everyday goods to potential disruptions in critical industries like agriculture, manufacturing, and energy, the consequences could be far-reaching. Are you concerned about the long-term impacts of having two friendly nations in a trade war?

6. Canada's economy could experience significant long-term damage due to its strong reliance on U.S. trade. Retaliatory tariffs may disrupt key industries, from agriculture to manufacturing, potentially leading to reduced exports, job losses, and slower economic growth. The effects could ripple through various sectors, making it harder for businesses to maintain profitability and for consumers to access affordable goods. If you are in Canada, are you concerned about the impact on your daily life?
