Tensions continue to escalate in the Canada-U.S. trade war as the federal government prepares to impose $28 billion in retaliatory tariffs on American imports. CTV's Jeremie Charron reports that U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent compared Canada to a "yippy dog" during an interview on Fox News. Flavio Volpe, president of the Automotive Parts Manufacturers' Association, believes the ongoing verbal attacks are a deliberate tactic to distract from domestic issues in Washington. The new counter-tariffs are scheduled to take effect on Tuesday despite informal talks between Canada-U.S. Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc and his American counterpart.
