Trump vs. the facts - looking at what Canada’s China deal actually does

In a Truth Social post on Saturday, Trump warned that if Canada becomes a “drop-off port” for Chinese goods or makes a deal with China, all Canadian products could face a 100% U.S. tariff. While Canada has announced a deal with China, it’s not a full free trade agreement. To break down what this really means, Evan speaks with Fen Osler Hampson, Carleton University professor of international affairs.

Tariffs, China, and the cost of cars: what’s at stake for Canada’s auto market

Over the weekend, former U.S. President Donald Trump threatened to impose 100 per cent tariffs on Canadian goods if Canada moves ahead with a trade deal with China.

With that added uncertainty, there are new questions about what this means for vehicle pricing, availability, and consumer confidence. AutoTrader’s Vice-President of Insights and Intelligence, Baris Akyurek, helps break down what this could mean for Canadian car buyers and the market overall.
