And for Prime Minister Mark Carney, the late night decision to suspend talks with President Donald Trump and to retaliate instead of agreeing to a deal that seemed in reach will be a significant political test.

Carney's decision will challenge the appetite among Canadians to accept some economic pain as Ottawa pushes for more US concessions.
卡尼的决定将挑战加拿大人接受经济痛苦的愿望，因为渥太华正推动更多美国让步。
After rejecting Trump's high pressure tactics, and in choosing to hit back against the latest duties, Carney will need to convince Canadians that the economic pain is worth the cost of standing up to the Trump administration in search of a better agreement in the long run.
在拒绝了特朗普的高压手段，并选择反击最新的关税后，卡尼需要说服加拿大人，经济上的痛苦是值得为长期寻求更好协议而与特朗普政府抗衡的代价。

Many Canadians have told pollsters that they are willing to fight.

根据美国政府贸易数据，美国对加拿大的葡萄酒出口同比下降了78%，出口价值损失了3.57亿美元。 美国酿酒商协会也报告了类似数字——称省级禁令导致美国烈酒出口下降了70%以上。

And as details on an interim trade agreement with the US trickled out over last week, some provincial leaders, industry groups and political opponents raised concerns that the prime minister had not delivered on the fight he promised - though Carney denied that swayed his thinking.
上周，随着与美国达成临时贸易协定的细节逐渐浮出水面，一些省级领导人、行业团体和政治反对者提出了对总理没有兑现承诺的担忧--尽管卡尼否认这影响了他的思想。
Ford, usually one of the most vocal Canadian politicians on US tariffs, had been silent on the tentative deal all week. But in a letter sent to Carney, he raised concerns that an agreement under pressure would “embolden the United States to seek concession after concession".
福特，通常是美国关税问题上最具声音的加拿大政客之一，整个星期都对这一暂定协议保持沉默。 但在发给卡尼的一封信中，他提出了担忧，即在压力下达成协议将"使美国在让步后寻求让步"。

Conservative opposition leader Pierre Poilievre said that any agreement that included "one-sided" tariffs on Canadian industry would be "a bad deal". On Saturday, he backed Carney's decision to walk away for now, saying: "Canada cannot accept one-sided tariffs that will de-industrialise our country."
保守党反对派领导人皮埃尔*波利耶夫（Pierre Poilievre）表示，任何包括对加拿大工业征收"片面"关税的协议都将是"一笔糟糕的交易"。 周六，他支持卡尼决定暂时离开，他说："加拿大不能接受片面的关税，这将使我们的国家去工业化。"
The collapse of this agreement calls into questions the future of such talks, including an ongoing review of the US-Mexico-Canada free trade pact.
