The Globe and Mail reports in its Friday edition that the premiers of Canada's largest provinces are standing behind Prime Minister Mark Carney's move to match U.S. -imposed auto tariffs with corresponding levies on American cars, while pushing for accelerated talks on a new trade deal. A triple-bylined item led by Jeff Gray says provincial and territorial leaders held a conference call with Mr. Carney on Thursday morning, just before he announced his response to U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs on Canadian-made cars. The U.S. auto tariffs took effect Thursday, the day after Mr. Trump's announced a round of staggering additional worldwide levies that spared Canada . Ontario Premier Doug Ford said Mr. Carney's move had cross-country support from his fellow premiers. Quebec Premier Fran\xE7ois Legault said he was "very comfortable" with Mr. Carney's countermeasures. B.C. Premier David Eby credited Mr. Carney with "shifting the tone with the President," but added the shift cannot be trusted, given Mr. Trump's unpredictability. He also warned that more aggressive action from the White House on his province's softwood lumber exports, long a cross-border trade irritant already suffering under U.S. duties, could be coming.
