Premiers now huddling with former ambassadors to the U.S. David MacNaughton and Gary Doer.

Now that Prime Minister Mark Carney has concluded his meeting with the premiers, the Council of the Federation conference is officially under way. The premiers are huddling with former Canadian ambassadors to the U.S. David MacNaughton and Gary Doer. They are advising the premiers on strategies for coping with the Trump tariffs and for keeping relations positive with state governors, almost all of whom, Republican and Democrat, oppose the levies that are making things more expensive for American consumers. The United States Chamber of Commerce, the world's largest business organization, has long opposed tariffs on Canadian goods for that very reason.
