00:30I've been telling my European colleagues that Canada is the canary in the coal mine.

00:38If the U.S. can do this to us, their closest friend and ally, then nobody is safe.

00:44Today, these unjustified tariffs were imposed upon you as well, so let's work together to

00:51eliminate them.

00:52Let's work together to encourage Americans to pressure their elected officials.

00:58Canada's new tariffs would be on steel and aluminium products as well as goods including

01:06They are in addition to its 25% counter tariffs on U.S. imports that were put in place on

01:16month.
