The leader of Ontario said he will be calling an election next week because he needs a mandate to fight Trump's threatened tariffs.

Trump said in an Oval Office signing ceremony on Monday that his administration will impose a 25% tax on goods from Canada and Mexico that may come as soon as February 1 – a move that could raise prices for American consumers.

Speaking at a special cabinet meeting in Montebello on Tuesday, Quebec, Trudeau said that he was unfazed by Trump's about-face, saying he's come to expect a great deal of 'uncertainty' when dealing with this president.
