Contributing sentiments towards policy:

37% : Freeland, who was part of the Canadian team that negotiated the US-Mexico-Canada trade deal signed by Trump during his first presidency, said releasing a targeted list of potential retaliatory tariffs on $200bn worth of American imports would show where "we can hit Trump where it hurts".
34% : Canada and Mexico have drawn up lists of "tit for tat" tariffs to issue against the US as soon as Trump imposes tariffs.
32% : The comments from one of Canada's most important politicians marks a sharp escalation in the trade dispute with Washington, which blew into the open after Trump said he would impose tariffs on the US's two biggest trading partners from February 1.
30% : The Canadian dollar and Mexican peso rose against the US dollar on Friday after reports that Trump may push back the implementation of any new tariffs to March.
28% : "By targeting products from Republican states that voted for Trump and products made by his billionaire buddies, Canada can exert unavoidable political pressure on the White House," she said.
