And, you know, Steve, Canada is one of the U.S. largest trading partners. But, you know, it's more than that. This feels personal up here, especially when Trump keeps saying he wants to turn Canada into the 51st state.

Well, you know, this is only a month-long reprieve, and I think it's fair to say that there is a trust deficit between Canada and the U.S., and the U.S. and Mexico, for that matter. Canada faced a serious threat of recession if Trump's tariffs went ahead. You know, there's a fear that it's not over, at least for now.

And as you mentioned, Steve, the threat of a trade war goes beyond North America as the U.S. and China launch these tit-for-tat tariffs on each other. The White House says Trump is due to talk to Chinese leader Xi Jinping today, but negotiations between the rivals, you know, could be a draw-no process.

Within days after retaking office, President Trump said he would slap 25% tariffs on products from Canada and Mexico unless the two neighbours curb the flow of drugs and migrants crossing illegally. Roughly $2.5 billion worth of goods cross the U.S.-Canada border each day.

The Canadian government has threatened its own tariffs on Florida orange juice and Kentucky bourbon and is weighing whether to tax 4 million barrels of oil it sends to the U.S. daily, which could drive up the cost of gas at stations across the U.S. Jackie Northam, NPR News.

Well, momentum had been building for some time for him to step aside. His poll numbers and the parties are in the low 20s. A couple of weeks ago, Chrystia Freeland, who was both his deputy prime minister and finance minister, resigned. And she had been a key, steadfast ally for Trudeau. And frankly, he faced a no confidence vote.
