WASHINGTON — Finance Minister Dominic LeBlanc sent a video of Canada’s border security efforts to the man U.S. President Donald Trump has chosen to oversee his tariff agenda — part of Canada’s pitch to avoid devastating duties that could come as soon as Saturday.

Finance Minister Dominic LeBlanc said Canada is "absolutely" prepared if President Donald Trump levies 25 per cent tariffs against Canada next month. Ottawa has potential response scenarios at the ready,

TORONTO (AP) — Top Canadian ministers said Monday that ... tariffs” but said they are also “working on retaliation.” Canadian Finance Minister Dominic LeBlanc said Trump can be unpredictable. “None of this should be surprising," he said.

Trump had threatened to impose sweeping tariffs on Canada, Mexico and other trading partners. An incoming White House official who insisted on anonymity pointed reporters to a Wall Street Journal story saying Trump will only sign a memorandum telling federal agencies to study trade issues.

The Prime Minister and the premiers discussed the ongoing threat of U.S. tariffs against Canadian goods, which will make life less affordable for Canadians and Americans alike and weaken economic growth in both countries.

SPINNING PLATES — DOMINIC LEBLANC is not lacking for priorities. Cabinet’s pointman on government finances, Canada’s premiers and key players in the Trump transition is starting to prepare an annual budget — and, according to the Globe, a bulky tariff relief package.

Roughly $900 billion in annual trade between Canada and the United States — and with it, traditionally chummy bilateral ties — is on the brink of upheaval, with President Donald Trump threatening to impose sweeping tariffs on Canada as early as this weekend.

Former MP Han Dong said he will run in his Don Valley North Toronto riding again and hopes to do so under the Liberal banner with the party’s endorsement.

The NDP leader is not ruling out helping the Liberals pass a potential relief package for workers if Canada enters a trade war with the United States.

The leader of Canada's most populous province of Ontario says he will be calling a provincial election next week because he says needs a mandate to fight President Donald Trump's threatened tariffs.
