Canadians are united in their horror over US tariffs that have the power to plunge the country into recession and cause mass unemployment
Donald Trump's tariffs will cause huge damage to the Canadian economy and the countries' relationship, but the reasons behind the move remain both spurious and obscure
US President Donald Trump's trade war against Canada is fodder for America's flabbergasted late night comedy hosts, but north of the border, no one is laughing.
Known universally for just being ... nice, Canadians have gone from anxious to angry as America slaps 25 percent trade tariffs on its imports - a move that could send Canada into recession.
In the Ontario province alone, an estimated half a million jobs could go.
"People are really angry in this country at the United States," says the host of CBC's Front Burner podcast, Jayme Poisson…Go to this episode on rnz.co.nz for more details

Tens of thousands of handsets and other devices are likely to become redundant by the end of the year as NZ shuts down the 3G phone network
As New Zealand works to pull the plug on the 3G network by Christmas, telecos aim to avoid the debacle that happened in Australia when it did the same last year
Paul Brislen is on a mission this year and it could probably be summed up as 'don't stuff things up like Australia did'.
It's to do with New Zealand's 3G networks being shut down by the end of 2025, and upgraded to the next generation of technology.
It's a world-wide move and Australia turned its 3G off last year. The trouble is, the repercussions are still going on there - to the extent that a Senate committee is investigating why some customers were left worse off, unable to make calls or send text messages in areas where they previously could - and that included emergency calls…Go to this episode on rnz.co.nz for more details

Our cash-strapped, underfunded, overspent defence force is in line for a budget boost, and experts say it can't come soon enough
From peacekeeping on the Russia-Ukraine border to defending our own waters, experts say it can't come soon enough
Two defence experts are warning that New Zealand’s ageing navy is woefully inadequate and underfunded when it comes to protecting our waters.
Warnings like this have been shrugged off before because we are too far away to worry, but yesterday came news that three Chinese navy ships were sailing in international waters east of Sydney, and could be headed toward Pacific Islands countries, in a move that’s been called “unusual” and “provocative”.
“We seem to think that if it all goes wrong we’ll be safe down here,” former defence minister and NZ First MP, Ron Mark tells The Detail.
“The world is a volatile space and it’s been increasingly so and the one thing that you can absolutely bank on is that what you think today is going to be the situation tomorrow, will not be.”
New Zealand’s exclusive economic zone covers 4 million square kilometres of the earth’s surface but Mark says the country is not doing enough to look after it.
“We think we can protect it by penny-pinching our way forward. The only people who pay are our military personnel,” he says.
Victoria University’s director of the centre for strategic studies David Capie says the increasingly dangerous world means New Zealand will “have to do a lot for ourselves and working with our ally Australia”.
Their warnings came on the same day as it was revealed China’s naval ships were sailing 150 nautical miles off Sydney. Defence Minister Judith Collins said the Chinese naval task group was being monitored.
Professor Rory Medcalf, of the Australian National University National Security College, told Australia’s ABC that “a confronting strategic future is arriving fast”.
“It would be hard to find a more tangible sign of the need for Australia to increase defence spending and to sustain our campaign of statecraft aimed at stopping China establishing a military base in the Pacific,” he said.
New Zealand’s own defence budget is in the spotlight again with Prime Minister Christopher Luxon this week responding to questions about raising it to 2 percent of GDP, which would nearly double the current funding and bring it in line with Australia’s allocation. At the same time, US President Donald Trump has been pushing for Nato members to raise their defence spending from 2 to 5 percent…
