Should Canada keep fighting Trump’s tariffs?

Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer analyze the Trump administration's latest tariff escalation against Canada, examining the shift from broad tariffs to targeted sectoral measures and procurement restrictions. They debate whether Canada should continue retaliating or seek an off-ramp, discussing the asymmetry between the two economies and the risks of prolonged conflict. They explore how Canada's industrial structure could be fundamentally reshaped if the Carney government plans to wait until after the 2028 presidential election for another president more inclined to improving economic relationships, and question why domestic economic reforms remain absent from the national conversation.
