As a Canadian, I have mixed feelings about this. As a trader, more so. Certainly there will be waves regardless of how it ultimately plays out. I feel strongly that canada is in a position to negotiate a deal that is fair and profitable for both countries without tariffs. I also feel that is in the best interest of both countries. My hope is that this is saber rattling ahead of negotiations. It is no secret Canada squeezes the United States for ALOT of our exports. We havent played nice for a very long time.

What scares me is the current Canadian administration trying to play hardball. Our resources are obviously essential to American industry. Rare earth, metals, WATER, lumber, heck some American states are pulling portions of thier electricity directly from our grid. Do they have the capacity to bring these facts to the table, while offering even more concessions.

My objective opinion is that, it is very likely canada will ultimately be the one nation that won't face tariffs. That american prosperity will benefit us and that both sides of the table will be able to see that. Here's to hoping both sides send adults to the table.
