My comments in today's @globeandmail on the known dairy issue that will arise in the USMCA review. It's technical and specific, and entirely solvable. Kudos to @HelmoreKathryn for writing this informative piece.

Thanks to tariffs (esp re: Canada), US aluminium prices are now roughly 50% higher than in Europe & Japan, thus putting US manufacturers at a competitive disadvantage.
Heckuva industrial strategy.

As I’ve been saying for months, the consequences of yrs of unchecked steel dumping with new (very high) US tariffs would be increased protectionism in Canada.
To keep Cdn steel afloat, Cdn govts are now faced with BuyCanadian rules or mega bailouts.

US tariffs update: Imported goods cost 5% more, domestic goods 3% more than pre-tariff trends predicted. Data now runs through Aug 8 — and we push the history back to Jan 1, 2024 (Appendix), showing a full year of stability before tariffs broke the trend. pricinglab.org/tariff-tracker

China's Commerce Ministry has extended its probe into EU dairy exports to February 2026.
It was supposed to conclude on Thursday. This is widely seen as one of the retaliatory actions against the EU's EV tariffs.

Industry raises valid point that origins of used oil may not be traceable, making country of origin & palm oil content uncertain. Limiting imports on these grounds would be a defensible policy position for Canada to adopt, and would be WTO compliant.

In wake of latest canola tariffs by China, worthwhile suggestion here to scrutinize imports of used cooking oil - in order to reorient clean fuel inputs to domestic canola. theglobeandmail.com/business/econo…

Goldman's latest (still very early) analysis of tariff effects thru June 2025:
-Foreign exporters absorbed 14% of US tariffs
-US companies ate 64%
-US consumers ate 22%
-Protected US companies also raised prices
-Consumers will see bigger price increases (70%) thru the Fall

With Trump, Canadians naturally fixate on the grenades lobbed directly at us. But his domestic moves to reshape global supply chains while enriching the US Treasury have much bigger implications for global trade and geopolitical stability. ft.com/content/cd1a07… via @ft

One reason Ottawa has been more nervous about steel than aluminum tariffs: Because the aluminum tariffs are so evidently self-defeating for the United States they get dropped eventually anyway. Steel trickier.

WSJ: Trump's tariffs (esp aluminum) and trade deals are killing Ford, the largest US automaker. And the 4 biggest US-based carmakers collectively paid $2.5 billion in additional tariff costs in the second quarter alone:

This would be a worthwhile activity for Canada to support if Italy would ratify CETA. It's been 8 years since CETA came into force, and Italy remains 1 of 10 EU economies that has not yet ratified the agreement.

Further, we can expect these changes to be the minimum bar for USMCA changes. The US’s dairy case against Canada was virtually identical to NZ, and Canada will be forced to now revise its TRQ process for the US accordingly.

For close watchers of Canada’s violation of its dairy commitments to New Zealand under CPTPP, the case is now (finally) being resolved. Not surprisingly, these NZ links are more informative than Canada’s.
