Official petition

Petition to the House of Commons The Government of the United States has unilaterally imposed sweeping, punitive 50% tariffs on $20 billion worth of Canadian goods following the collapse of recent trade negotiations; Prime Minister Mark Carney has stated that Canada rejected the deal because last-minute American demands compromised national sovereignty and threatened to eliminate or turn core Canadian industries—such as automotive, steel, and aluminum—into mere subsidiaries of U.S. companies; While a vast majority of Canadians support standing firm against unfair foreign trade practices, U.S. officials and negotiators continue to claim publicly that Canada walked away for strictly political motives rather than economic ones; and Full, democratic transparency is required to counter foreign misinformation, validate the government's stance, and allow Canadian businesses and citizens to fully understand the threats posed to the national economy. We, the undersigned, citizens and residents of Canada, call upon the House of Commons to: 1. Formally publish the full text, terms, and last-minute demands presented by the United States that led to the breakdown of the negotiations; and 2. Release a comprehensive economic impact briefing detailing how the rejected American terms would have affected Canadian workers and industries relative to the current tariff dispute.
