All because Carney's speech was more popular than his at Davos.
Pre Davos: if you can get a deal with China, get a deal.
Post Davos: 100 percent tariffs, and Canada is about to be taken over!

Meanwhile, the US still holds most of the trade cards with China ....
China’s Record Trade Surplus and Washington’s Financial Trump Card
China’s trade surplus has crossed a dangerous threshold. In 2025, it exceeded $1 trillion for the first time, surpassing the previous record of $993 billion (figure 1). China’s internal imbalance is also widening. Exports rose 5.5% over year, while imports were flat—clear evidence of weak domestic demand and continued reliance on foreign markets to sustain output; exports composed 33% of China’s GDP growth in 2025, its highest share in nearly 20 years (1).

Fortunately, we're probably through the worst of it and there's some light at the end of the tunnel...
Year in review—Canada weathers first year of Trump’s second term
Nonetheless, after 12 traumatic months, the stars are aligning in Canada’s favour, as Trump’s influence begins to wane. Forces supporting continental free trade grow stronger and Trump grows weaker, raging against the dying of the light as he approaches the lame-duck phase of his presidency.
Having gotten through 2025 intact, the worst of the Trump presidency for Canada may be over.
The country weathered the Trump tariffs better than expected. There was good reason to fear that the steel, aluminum and other sectoral tariffs imposed on Canada and other countries last spring would plunge our already lacklustre economy into a full recession. But it quickly became clear that most Canada-U.S. trade remained protected under USMCA. As a result, the country appears to have managed to avoid a technical recession in 2025, and per-person GDP is widely expected to finally increase after years of decline.
