Canadians vent frustration as US-Canada tariff fight deepens
Why it matters: People interviewed by the BBC warned the dispute could damage long-standing economic and cultural ties.
Canadians expressed anger and fatigue as tariff tensions with the United States flared again after trade talks broke down. In interviews in Montreal, people told the BBC the dispute felt "absolutely ridiculous" and warned that a widening trade fight could hurt both countries. The latest clash followed failed negotiations between the two sides and fresh tariffs targeting some Canadian exports, with Canada pledging matching measures on U.S. goods. Residents from across the country said the dispute risks straining one of the world's closest cross-border relationships, with consequences for trade, jobs and everyday ties between neighbors.
