In a video posted to social media after the meeting, Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew referred to the tariffs as “an attack on Canadians.”

The premier said Manitoba will “fully support” the federal government’s response to the tariffs, adding his government will be announcing “new steps every single day this week” to protect jobs and safeguard the economy.

“Trump built a wall, but it’s a tariff wall and it’s targeting us,” he said, calling on Canadians to “stand together … and to be united.”

“If you’re looking for ways to fight back, just remember to shop local, and to buy Canadian. Where you choose to spend your money, those are some of the most important decisions that you make,” Kinew said in the post.
