Prime Minister Mark Carney says the Canadian government will "steadfastly" defend workers and businesses following the latest trade threats by US President Donald Trump.

Canada's fentanyl czar says the fight against the deadly opioid would get a boost from proposed new tools for law enforcement in the Liberal government's recently tabled border bill.

Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree is expected to introduce a bill today spelling out the federal government's next steps on border security.

Canadians are dying alone from toxic drugs and experts say easier access to at-home drug-testing strips could help prevent deaths. But they warn the strips have limitations.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said Tuesday there have been "successes" at the Canada-U.S. border — but offered no new hints about what might convince U.S. President Donald Trump to drop his tariffs on Canada.

The United States is still imposing tariffs on Canada after President Donald Trump on Wednesday partially pulled back some of the most devastating duties against countries around the world.

U.S. President Donald Trump partially reversed course Wednesday on his global trade war following days of market turmoil — but he's not offering any changes to the tariffs hitting Canada.

Prime Minister Mark Carney said Donald Trump's tariff regime will "fundamentally change the global trading system" after the U.S. president exempted Canada from his so-called "liberation day" tariff list unveiled on Wednesday.

Party leaders are likely to receive questions about Canada-U.S. relations during their campaign stops today, a day before American President Donald Trump is expected to impose "reciprocal" tariffs by increasing U.S. duties to match the tax rates that other countries charge on imports.

Key members of Trump's team fanned out to TV news programs today to link the damaging duties to the flow of deadly fentanyl into the United States.

U.S. President Donald Trump recently threatened to impose steep tariffs on all goods from Canada, citing the southbound flow of migrants and illegal drugs including fentanyl, a potent synthetic opioid. After Trudeau explained details of Canada's plans to beef up the border, Trump agreed to a month-long pause on the tariffs while the two work on a new economic arrangement.

Donald Trump has signed executive orders to slap 25 per cent tariffs on all steel and aluminum imports into the United States, including Canadian products, starting March 4 — the same deadline given to Canada to convince the U.S. president to halt his plan for across-the-board duties.

Opposition parties say the Liberals must recall Parliament within the next month to act on Donald Trump's tariff threat, but the government insists it does not need to pass legislation to take the action the U.S. president wants to see.

The temporary reprieve halts — at least for now — a continental trade war that economists on both sides of the border warned would raise prices.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is set to meet with the country’s premiers this afternoon, after they asked for an urgent meeting on U.S.-Canada relations ahead of the incoming Donald Trump administration.
