  "summary": "The Canadian government is facing calls from Conservative MPs to release the full details of a proposed trade deal with the US that collapsed on Friday. Conservative MP Shuvaloy Majumdar has written to Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc, urging the government to disclose the terms of the deal. According to the National Post, the Conservatives argue that Canadians and Parliament deserve to know what was on offer that led to Canadian officials walking away from negotiations.\n\nThe trade talks between Canada and the US broke down on Friday, resulting in new 50 per cent US tariffs on about US$20 billion worth of Canadian goods. Canada has retaliated with matching tariffs, set to take effect on September 8, targeting the US steel and dairy industries. The US Transportation Secretary, Sean Duffy, has warned that Canada would be \"foolish\" to think it could win a trade war with the US, predicting a \"devastating\" impact on Canada.\n\nSome Canadian premiers are meanwhile urging residents to buy local products in response to the trade tensions. Premiers in Eastern Canada, including Prince Edward Island's Rob Lantz and New Brunswick's Susan Holt, have called on residents to support local businesses and people by buying Canadian goods.",
