About this episode
Canada's launched more than NZ$33 billion of retaliatory tariffs on US imports as a trade war between the two neighbours escalates.
The tariffs will impose duties ranging up to 50% across 700 products, matching new American tariffs on Canadian goods.
It follows trade talks blowing up over the weekend, with Canada claiming unfair last-minute changes from the US.
