Robin Skies: Canada, let’s keep a cool head in this trade battle
How we respond next will dictate our nation's future for generations to come
Canada and the US have fallen out over trade talks. The Canadian Prime Minister described the situation as being "at war" with the US, though this is a rhetorical rather than military conflict.
Trade talks between the two countries broke down over the weekend. Canada will announce its response to new US tariffs on August 25. The US has introduced 50% tariffs on certain Canadian goods.
The breakdown in talks has led to a trade war between the two countries, which were previously close allies.
