Donald Trump is firing back at Canada Friday morning over what he says are unfair trade practices as he prepares to head to the G7 meeting in Charlevoix, Quebec. The latest series of tweets by Trump follow posts he made last night — including his accusation that the Prime Minister is being “indignant.” Among his shots is criticism of Canada for unfairly charging tariffs on dairy products shipped to the US. This is in fact a long-time and unfair practice of Canada and one which, according to commentator John Ivison, of the National Post, Canada has agreed to modify in discussions already completed. The other sensitive issue for the US is Canadian lumber. The heart of that dispute is the claim that the Canadian lumber industry is unfairly subsidized by federal and provincial governments, as most timber in Canada is owned by the provincial governments.
