Canada is delaying the bulk of their retaliatory tariffs for 3 weeks specifically to give Canadian companies to find alternative sources.
Canada’s population is roughly 1/10 of the US. I also suspect that a decent portion of the deficit is due to things like Caterpillar manufacturing tractor tracks in Canada and improving to the US for assembly.
Canada will find alternatives or live without most things imported from the US and will likely not go back if the tariffs would be lifted.
No one wins a trade way, but I think Canada could be in a better position in the end. And it won’t be because they become a state.
The US soy farmers still haven’t gotten all their customers back from Trumps last trade war. Once we find a new supplier, why go back to such an untrustworthy one as the US?
iirc the US only has a deficit because they buy so much of our crude at a SUBSTANTIAL DISCOUNT, hence the only 10% tariff on crude.
I am just glad we have an adult at the helm here, for the time being.
