That moment marks the latest point when <strong>Trump tariffs Canada<\/strong> policy could finally end. Donald Trump will no longer be president of the United States at that time.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">Between here and there, anything is possible. However, certain outcomes are more likely than others. Trump&#8217;s affinity for tariffs on Canadian products will <em>certainly<\/em> continue, whether they fall under CUSMA protection or not.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">Almost all the global trade uncertainty inflicted by Trump has come through executive orders. These orders bypassed congressional scrutiny entirely. No approval process was ever required.<\/p><h3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\" dir=\"ltr\">The Legal Playbook Behind The Tariffs<\/h3><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">Let&#8217;s review the tools Trump has used. Each one reveals a pattern of expanding executive power over trade policy.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">Trump has used <em>Section 122<\/em> of the Trade Act of 1974 for the global 10% across-the-board tariff. He imposed this measure on February 24, 2026.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">He also relied on <em>Section 232<\/em> of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962. This &#8220;national security&#8221; tool was twisted by Trump to target Canadian steel, aluminum, and autos.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">Additionally, Trump used <em>Section 301<\/em> of the Trade Act of 1974. This section targets random accusations of &#8220;unfair&#8221; trade practices following supposed &#8220;investigations.&#8221;<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">This week, he invoked <em>Section 338<\/em> of the Tariff Act of 1930. This previously unused power allows tariffs up to 50% on countries deemed to discriminate against U.S. exports.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">The rationale, of course, remains entirely subjective. It depends on the caprice of the president. Trump has cited the fentanyl crisis, wildfire smoke, national security, and general &#8220;unfairness&#8221; as excuses.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">He will certainly not stop using these excuses. Not with 912 days remaining in his presidency. His pattern of behavior has become predictable, even as its targets shift.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">No &#8216;deal&#8217; will prevent Trump from being Trump. He will keep attacking traditional allies and trade partners no matter the scenario. We must accept this reality on reality&#8217;s terms.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">Trump also threatens far more tariffs than he actually imposes. He likes to rattle the undrawn sword. There is no arithmetic to the madness and no theology behind the belligerence.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">We have therefore learned discipline. Instead, we react to his bite more than his bark. This distinction matters enormously when shaping Canada&#8217;s policy response.<\/p><h3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\" dir=\"ltr\">Measuring The Economic Damage<\/h3><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">The impact of the latest tariffs is still being assessed by economists. Joseph Steinberg, a professor of economics at the University of Toronto, offers useful context here.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">He believes this tariff threat will cover roughly 5-6% of goods entering the United States. These goods are not currently subject to existing tariffs.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">Consequently, a possible 50% tariff on this new list could raise rates significantly. It could push the average effective tariff rate on Canadian exports up by roughly 2.5 percentage points.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">Regionally, the impact will vary dramatically. Trevor Tombe, an economist at the University of Calgary, has broken down these regional differences in detail.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">He estimates that 13.7% of British Columbia&#8217;s exports to the U.S. will face this new tariff. Meanwhile, 10.8% of Quebec&#8217;s exports and 9% of Ontario&#8217;s exports will be affected.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">By contrast, just 1% of Alberta, Saskatchewan, and New Brunswick exports will be newly hit. This variation will shape the regional political pressures facing Prime Minister Mark Carney.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">We still have to wait and see whether the full tariff threat materializes. The 30-day threat window has not yet closed. Uncertainty remains the dominant feature of this trade dispute.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">This could also be the start of a larger menu of tariff attacks. One never knows for certain. It could be a tactic tied to the ongoing CUSMA examination.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">Alternatively, it could be a distraction from domestic bad headlines. It might be a gimmick related to local politics ahead of the midterms. Or Trump simply felt like flexing power for a day.<\/p><h3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\" dir=\"ltr\">What Should Carney Do Next?<\/h3><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">So, what is the prime minister&#8217;s best course of action? It will undoubtedly involve several strategies working together at once.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">Carney must triage the economic impacts first. He should also push hard for trade diversification across new markets. Encouraging internal free trade between provinces matters just as much.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">Furthermore, Canada should protest Trump&#8217;s threats publicly, but with nuance. Trying to charm Trump directly remains part of the toolkit too. Retaliatory measures should stay on the table as options.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">Animating the supply chains of impacted American businesses also carries weight. These businesses will feel real pain from tariffs. Their voices can shift the political calculus in Washington.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">The playbook is now well established. There is flex and variance for countering Trump&#8217;s rhetorical heat. Canadian expectations for &#8220;elbows&#8221; being &#8220;up&#8221; persist throughout this approach.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">But one thing has become strikingly clear this week. The responsible course is to summon patience and strength. Canada must look past Trump and play the long game.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"><em>Don&#8217;t<\/em> rush into a deeper minefield of new retaliatory measures. <em>Don&#8217;t<\/em> react to the &#8216;Canada isn&#8217;t a real country&#8217; rage bait. And <em>don&#8217;t<\/em> swing at every pitch thrown our way.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">Time is genuinely on Canada&#8217;s side here. Trump&#8217;s policies are failing with American voters by a wide margin. Americans favour Canada over Trump, trade over tariffs, and reason over rage.<\/p><h3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\" dir=\"ltr\">Why Time And Americans Favour Canada<\/h3><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">Americans are not demanding that Trump fight Canada. Instead, large majorities believe the madness is mindless. This sentiment shows up consistently across recent polling data.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">Americans also recognize that tariff policies have failed their original promise. Manufacturing jobs never returned as promised. Supply chain efficiency suffered, and economic relationships grew poisoned instead.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">Trump is losing on both politics and economics simultaneously. Time, therefore, genuinely favours Canada in this standoff. This dynamic should guide every decision Ottawa makes going forward.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">It is probable that Trump&#8217;s razor-thin majority in the House will vanish in November. As his tariff policies punish American consumers, new political voices will emerge in response.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">Unthreatened by a fading president, these voices will find audiences in both 2026 and 2028. As Trump sags toward his 2029 departure, legislative challenges will intensify from both parties.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">Republicans and Democrats alike value a prosperous America. They want a country trading with traditional friends and allies. This bipartisan instinct offers Canada real hope.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">We already saw a sample of that shift recently. Oregon Sen. Ron Wyden, Ranking Member of the Senate Finance Committee, announced plans to change tariff authority laws.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">This follows the Supreme Court&#8217;s own rebuke back in February. A 6-3 ruling crossed ideological lines entirely. The court found Trump had no authority under IEEPA to impose tariffs at all.<\/p><h3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\" dir=\"ltr\">A Long Road, But Not A Hopeless One<\/h3><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">Managing the Trump relationship remains exhausting and tedious. Yet it is fundamentally necessary work in the short term. His abuse of power betrays a trusted friend and ally repeatedly.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">This behavior is not popular with Americans. It is toxic to the American economy too. As a result, ongoing opposition will continue building against these policies.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">Canada must lean into every effort to oppose these measures. Mitigating their effect matters just as much as resisting them outright. Both strategies work together toward the same goal.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">But there will be an end to this madness eventually. In time, a Canada-U.S. reconciliation project will find real momentum. Better days of peace and prosperity remain achievable.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">I believe this outcome to be true. For the coming 912 days, though, Canada should focus on resolve and resistance. Confidence matters too during this difficult stretch.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\">In time, the right side of history will defeat this policy. Awful decisions imposed irresponsibly by a failing president cannot last forever. Canada simply needs to outlast the storm.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Trump tariffs Canada trade dispute illustration Trump Tariffs Canada: Surviving 912 More Days Counting Down The Trump Clock As I write this, there are 912 days until noon on Jan. 20, 2029.
