A trade war between two nations has escalated with the imposition of new tariffs. The Canadian government has begun collecting tariffs on billions of dollars worth of US goods. These tariffs have rates of up to 50% and are intended to match US tariffs on Canadian imports.

The countertariffs apply to various products, including steel, paper, and appliances. Some products, such as toilet paper and wood flooring, face the full 50% tariff. The move is aimed at protecting Canadian workers.

Further details on the trade war and its implications are available. The Canadian government has also promoted a campaign to encourage domestic production.
