Canada is reciprocating with new tariffs in its trade war with the U.S. Prime Minister Mark Carney unveiled levies on a American steel and aluminum products at a fifty percent rate.

trying to destroy key Canadian industries such as steel, aluminum, and auto manufacturing. Here is Doug Ford, the Premier of Ontario Province.
Doug Ford 2:34
I think it'd be more productive if we actually sit down and the Prime Minister and and the President sit down and have a fair deal for everyone because right now there's uh there's there's not certainty in either country, there's not stability. I talked to a lot of governors and senators and congresspeople. Uh they need certainty. Their constituents need certainty. And the way you do it is by signing a fair uh trade deal. And I told the Prime Minister, uh no deal is uh better than a bad deal. And we have to go tariff for tariff and And uh dollar for dollar.
Doug Krisner 3:08

Uh a lot. Like, you know, it the the performance per watt that we're seeing, which is a good proxy for how much token will cost, is somewhere in the region between you know 1.8 to 4x better than other existing chips right now. Um and so we should see that ultimately when this rolls out into production, customer token prices should come down. That's a big you know drive that we've had at OpenAI for a little while now. Um, and this really is part of that strategy. And again, it goes back to attacking not only in the software, but attacking all the way down into the hardware and even into the data centers as well.
Doug Krisner 4:28
