You cannot employ a broad mass tariff strategy as a long term economic strategy in a nation that relies on heavy import to keep cost of living down. US economy is hyper reliant on trade via maritime shipping, north/south trade routes.
It will get worse over time.

As an overachiever in education and now wavering burn-out, I can firmly say a U14 Chess Championship has no bearing on the budget tabled by Chancellor. In fact congratulations to for her early success. This type of invective distraction by outside peers is just myopic since policy is the focus.

It's one of the cruel weaknesses of a Liberal government, they will backslide to convenience. With that said, this oil line will take decades to build so my overall concern is limited to frustration that Alberta needs coddling because their provincial government is so inept at diversifying.

US farm economy was based on mass export of priority product to large buyers while keeping a low cost of inputs through competitively priced feed, agriculture equipment and seeds. Inputs are sky-high, and export sales are fixed low. Store bandages don't work well for open heart surgery.

I had to be the bearer of bad news...China won't be buying that many soybeans until at least next season. Their importers bought a glut of soybeans from Brazil this season using a set of contracts orders with option to extends. The importers won't be changing track until after next year.

In 2020, Canada ranked 4 in the OECD Better Life Index, against the Nordic countries and Australia. We have fallen a few points due to economic pressure, housing and labour productivity. The US is still in our rearview mirror of the Better Life Index. 10th in 2020, and now 25th currently.

Once again, Tariffs increase prices, increase prices slow consumer spending, when consumer spending slows tariff revenue shrinks. You cannot base an entire fiscal policy on broad country tariffs the revenue will shrink over time as consumer spending habits change.

Wealthy people building AI to glaze their own fragile ketamine addicted ego is about as absurd a sentence as it is real.

They should totally send an old demented billionaire man across the country to speak about affordability. That will totally go over well in say Harlan County.

Houses in the US are now 4 times the cost they were from 6 years ago. This will just cause those houses to rocket past their tangible value and lead to inflated house prices. Pushing houses into unaffordable territory. Pumping low-grade debt into the market will inflate risk beyond manageable.

Tariffs stifle manufacturing jobs in wealthier nations because cost of inputs + wage is too high. Companies can't reduce cost of inputs unless special exemption but they can reduce labour by laying people off and embracing automation. The layoffs and AI embrace is about pivoting permanently.

There was no reason to fold at this point the Democratic Senators that voted for this just voted in the worst budget ever created. The spending simply consolidates wealth and power while removing institutional prosperity tools. This will now cement the K-Split in the US Economy and expand the gap.

Torontonian here. We elected a socialist democrat two years ago as mayor, she is the widow of the federal leader of the NDP -Bernie Sanders equivalent. The wealthy failed at their promise and did not flee. The threat is just hyperbolic equivalent of spilled milk.

Kevin O'Leary killed a person via boating DUI and got his wife to take the blame, nearly bankrupted Mattel via accounting fraud and failed in his bid to become Premier of Ontario. Ontario chose Doug Ford over him which is telling, since Doug is a scandal crony machine.

NYC send him to voicemail...

The shutdown is about the $536 billion USD in cuts to Medicare. If the Republicans pass their budget bill, the "deal" will only affect a handful of Americans who are eligible. Canada's getting generic weight loss drugs at $50 CAD per monthly dose in Jan 2026. Americans will just head north...

Struggling to see the leverage as companies pass tariffs costs into
1) Job Layoffs
2) Product quality/quantity reduction
3) Price Increases

When these tariffs pass into the service sector of the US that's when its going to really hurt and you won't be saying "yielding great results."
