```
The U.S. imposed 50% tariffs on $20 billion worth of Canadian products early Saturday, covering roughly 5% of Canada's annual shipments to the U.S. — items ranging from hockey sticks to tongue depressors. Canada announced it will retaliate starting Sept. 8 after last-ditch talks failed.

Prime Minister Mark Carney said measures will "come into force the Tuesday after Labor Day," with details to be released in coming days.

The response is described as dollar-for-dollar retaliation.

Steel, dairy, appliances, agricultural equipment, pulp and paper, and electronics.

Carney said Washington's demands "asked too much and offered too little," and called them "unacceptable." He said Canada would "hit back" with targeted tariff protection for exposed industries, including some steel products, and that the two countries "not return to our old relationship."

Ontario Premier Doug Ford gave "full support" to retaliation "tariff for tariff, dollar for dollar," saying "everything needs to be on the table."

U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said the U.S. offered tariff cuts on steel, autos and lumber, but Canada declined; he added, "We're moving forward with measures that respond to Canadian retaliation."
