It’s about more than the tariffs. It’s about market uncertainty and the US breaking its trade deals. Canada isn’t going to match Trump’s actions in a reactive manner; Canada is going to respond to Trump’s behavior in a manner that protects the future of Canadian sovereignty.

That’s a good point. Uncertainty hurts businesses and investors harder than you would think. People will go to extreme lengths to mitigate uncertainty, which usually has a negative impact on the economy. Now Canada is creating certainty about one thing.
