Summary
Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer analyze the escalating Canada-U.S. trade war as Canadian counter-tariffs take effect. They discuss President Trump's increasingly erratic behaviour, the risk of economic escalation beyond tariffs to include visa restrictions and business licenses, and whether Canada should deploy asymmetrical responses like restricting critical minerals and energy exports. Speer argues the Carney government's decision to reject the August deal may prove the most consequential choice defining Canada's economy for years to come.
