- April 2025: The US announced a broader tariff policy, but Canada and Mexico were kept outta the universal tariff rate.
- Economic Fallout: The ongoing trade tussles and tariff volatility have got businesses and households in both countries feelin' uncertain as all get-out. The Bank of Canada's been warnin' that predictin' economic activity under these conditions is tough turf.
