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.

I think one of the key factors in bolstering our economy was the speed at which we realigned our trading. We are now less reliant on the US. I see very little chance of this or future governments changing this in any substantive form.

Once again disrespecting and threatening our sovereignty. Want-to-be King Trump thinks he wields absolute authority over state governors, and he wants the same fealty from a Canadian Prime Minister. Threatening to punish a nation ostensibly for something he supported a week earlier because his ego is hurt.

What nonsense is he even going about now?
A quick google seems to show that the planes and a number of associated engines have been certified for use in Canada for years.

Every day my avatar comes closer to fruition.
Look dude, I’ll say it once just so it’s said, and because you and I have basically never really butted heads, so maybe you’ll credit me with being neutral and objective on this… You have become so very insufferably smug and contemptuous in the past short while that it basically drowns out anything of value you have to say, and it’s openly discussed behind your back by some of us who’ve been around while. And, knowing myself and how I’m seen by some, if you’re hearing that from me, well… Anyway, if in doubt, you’ll probably find this corroborated by how relatively little engagement you get from people making an objective effort to assess and discuss points you make in such a way as to actually move a discussion forward.
Do with that what you will- I’ve been sitting on the edge of saying this for like a week. It’s worth exactly what you paid and nothing more. But if your intent here is to be part of informed discourse, rather than basically heckling… Consider a course correction.
I’ll say nothing further on it; there’s no need, but I figured for your efforts to be active here you at least deserve to know how it’s landing.

Flailing in an attempt to justify targeting Bombardier, seeing how popular the Global 6000/6500's are getting in certain military applications around the world.
It's also complete idiocy when you consider how many Delta, United, and American Airlines operate.
Aren’t their new battlefield command birds Globals?

Someone should start the rumor Bombardier installed kill switches.
