  "summary": "Ontario Conservative MP Jamil Jivani has criticized Prime Minister Mark Carney's decision to match US tariffs dollar-for-dollar, calling it an \"overreaction\" that will \"accelerate conflict\". According to Jivani, Carney is erring in trying to accelerate conflict with the US after cross-border trade talks broke down.\n\nThe trade talks collapsed on Friday night, with both sides accusing each other of making last-minute changes. The US had imposed new 50% tariffs on a range of Canadian goods, in addition to existing tariffs on Canadian steel, aluminium, automobiles, and lumber. In response, Carney announced that Canada will match US tariffs dollar-for-dollar, including levies on steel, dairy, appliances, and electronics, starting from September 8.\n\nCarney stated that Canada was retaliating \"reluctantly\" to protect its interests, and that the US had made \"unfair\" and \"uneconomic\" demands. The BBC World reported that Carney had said the US tariffs were a \"miscalculation\" designed to \"hurt and divide us\", and that he had walked away from a deal because he was not prepared to \"compromise Canada's sovereignty\".",
