“Yesterday was another day on the tariff hamster wheel, with a morning frenzy of threats and counter-threats between the United States and Canada suddenly giving way to an afternoon of more conciliatory talk, ultimately dumping us more or less back where we started 24 hours prior. After pledging not to back down on a planned 25 percent surcharge on electricity exports to the United States, Ontario Premier Doug Ford changed his tune after what he described as a ‘productive conversation’ with Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick …. That was a big-time win, to hear the administration tell it …. But it seemed plain that Trump had been rattled by the ferocity of Ford’s threats.” (03/12/25)
