Missing from the right

Only 5 of the 41 outlets with a published leaning rating that ran this story are rated right.

A reader who follows the right would not have seen this. We report the absence rather than explain it: outlets choose what to cover for many reasons, and we have no evidence about which one applies here.

Canada is adjusting its list of counter-tariffs in response to feedback from Canadian industries. Finance Canada issued a statement late Wednesday evening detailing these adjustments to the planned reprisal. The federal government had previously outlined its response on Tuesday.

The planned reprisal includes raising tariffs on American steel and aluminum products from 25 to 50 per cent. Canada will also impose tariffs ranging from 15 to 50 per cent on hundreds of other U.S. exports, including clothing, apparel, appliances, and dairy products. To protect against broader economic harm, seafood and fish products have been removed from the list of counter-tariffs.

United States Trade Representative Jamieson Greer has stated that if there is further Canadian retaliation, the Trump administration will not sit idly by. This statement has been made on several occasions.
