Singh says workers must come first in Trump tariff fightback « Canada’s NDP

February 1, 2025 at 10:00 am  Federal, Politics

BURNABY—NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh issued the following statement in response to Donald Trump’s implementation of tariffs on Canadian products:

“Today, Donald Trump has unleashed an unprecedented trade war on our country.

We can’t let working Canadians pay the price.

People are worried they’ll lose their job. Families are worried about how they’ll keep putting food on the table.

It is urgent that the government is ready to put financial help into the hands of workers who are impacted, and that we protect as many jobs as possible with a strong commitment to buy Canadian.

We also need to pressure Trump to back off, and that means putting retaliatory tariffs in place urgently, and cutting off the supply of critical minerals to the United States.

Parliament should be recalled immediately so we can work together to fight for workers and jobs.

Canadians will stand strong and united.

We will not let Donald Trump – or anyone – threaten our values and our sovereignty.”
