Trump Is Squeezing Canada. Don’t Expect Carney to Roll Over.

Context
The president’s new tariffs on a top U.S. trading partner aim at gaining concessions, but the Canadian government, and the public, have been bracing for the escalation.
What it means
This headline is a characterization of an ongoing standoff between the US and Canada over tariffs — it adds no new policy action, escalation, or concession beyond what was already covered in delfee's prior signal (which already called CAD weakness and auto sector pressure). The market impact of these tariffs is already reflected in recent prices.
