Starting to think through the scenario in which
1. Tariffs are only applied to CAN/MEX imports, including oil (heaviest pain for CAN)
2. Alberta crude production curtailments are the most effective immediate counter to US tariff effects/USGC substitution on WCS differentials.

Kevin H. O'Rourke is one of my favorite economic historians, especially on the history of trade. In the second half of this very interesting podcast he discusses the history of globalization and anti-globalization movements.

Female content creators on YouTube received significantly more negative feedback for comparable content.
But the removal of public display of dislikes eliminated this gender gap and persistently increased female creator productivity and consumer demand.

Hard to see how the EU would benefit from a big US-China trade war. Chinese exporters would seek to replace lost US market and flood the world with goods at dumping prices, undermining EU companies at home and abroad - worsening EU trade balance & compounding the "China shock" for industry.
