Trudeau, premiers urge shoppers to buy Canadian

.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the country's premiers met again on Wednesday to continue crafting a strategy to hit back at President Donald Trump as the threat of U.S. trade action becomes more acute.

The first ministers met virtually to discuss developments south of the border this week, including Trump's initial decision to hold off on imposing tariffs through an executive order only to later commit to slapping them on Canada as of Feb. 1.

As a possible trade war with the U.S. looms, Trudeau and the premiers are now furiously trying to dismantle long-standing internal barriers to make it easier to trade goods and move workers across provincial borders.
