Quick calcs: U.S. tariff is on 80% of #cdnecon exports (not on services), trade-weighted average rate of 15% (25% goods; 10% energy). If U.S. demand falls in proportion to the tariff (to illustrate), then that's a $160 billion hit ($100b direct + $60b upstream), ~3% of total.

While retaliation is not yet known, if Canada matches the tariffs levied by the U.S. (similar rates and items), then aggregate consumer prices in Canada would rise by roughly 4.1%. Here's what the most affected consumer items would be. Will update when details known. #cdnecon

Hi Canadian neighbors,🇨🇦 We also have Canadian products here in Nuuk - Greenland.🇬🇱 From today, we will begin to buy some your products. #standwithcanada 🇨🇦 stay strong!

Based on the now-published list of Canada's retaliatory tariffs (canada.ca/en/department-…), I estimate that the bulk (~2/3) are on final consumer items. Food and beverages is roughly 1/3 of total. #cdnecon

Which exporting states are most impacted by Canada's initial tariff retaliation of 25% on exports totaling $30 billion? Here is my initial estimate. #cdnecon

Alessandro Blake Shaffer 📊🇺🇦 They are larger in Canada. Most states in the US have adopted 'Universal License Recognition' (if you have a license in one place then you're automatically good to go). We don't have that here, though ON's 'as of right's exemption (new in 2023) is a baby step in that direction.
