The tariff issue is really the biggest tragedy for Canada in how Trudeau exited. Canada needs leadership that has a mandate to navigate the next few months starting basically yesterday (now is the next best time). You can expect pretty much as a certainty, a 25% tariff on all CAD exports to the US starting in two weeks and lasting at minimum most of the year to allow for a Liberal Leadership contest, parliament to come back to session, a non-confidence vote to occur, at minimum a 30-day election, and finally a new government to form and get started. So at least June before anyone can actually even begin to seriously engage with the US on trade and then however long that takes with whatever new items Trump feels increasingly emboldened to extract.

Regardless of the impact of the eventual deal end result, the massive delay in it's own right will cost the Canadian economy at least tens of billions. That's going to be many lost jobs, many more families struggling for longer than necessary. And for what?
