What could tariffs mean for Canada?

After Donald Trump threatened high tariffs on Canadian imports, we look at the impact they could have.

Donald Trump has said he will impose new tariffs on goods entering the US from Canada on his first day in office. Tariffs are a central part of the President-elect's economic vision - he sees them as a way of growing the US economy, protecting jobs and raising tax revenue.

But some warn they could inflate consumer prices.

We look at how Canada is preparing, hearing from those in key sectors like farming and car manufacturing, and explore how the resignation of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau could affect things.
