U.S. President Donald Trump’s looming tariffs on all Canadian imports are set to be imposed today. The Canadian federal government has said every option remains on the table, as a potential response to the punishing tariffs. Follow along for live updates

CTV News’ chief political correspondent Vassy Kapelos says Canada was notified this morning by the U.S. that China, Mexico and Canada will be subject to tariffs: 25 per cent across the board with the exception of energy, which will be 10 per cent.

It would take effect on Tuesday and would be in place until the fentanyl overdose issue is sorted.

Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs Dominic LeBlanc and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will announce a Canadian response at 6 p.m. ET tonight.

A senior government source tells CTV News that Ottawa is expecting something formal at 2 p.m. EST. Cabinet is set to meet at 3 p.m. EST.

    No. Please tend do your own bitterly divided house first.

    We’re not here to do your dirty work, we just help you in your time of need, like letting you land your planes in our country and housing your travellers when terrorists blow up your building and cause your airspace to be shut down.

    You know. The kind of actions that earn you tariffs.

      Some of us tried. I just hope that when it does crash, It doesn’t take the Great White North with it. I am on the west coast, maybe we can join Canada while the fascist idiots aren’t looking.
