Dear Democrats + American "friends" Even when your president says it is "unlikely" that he will use military force against our country it still worthy of a resounding response. Right? But we hear crickets. You might be okay with the end of the rule of law. Not us. www.ctvnews.ca/world/articl...

Crazy - many importing firms are diverting shipments of goods from the US to Canada to store in warehouses, betting US tariffs will soon drop; If tariffs don't fall those goods will likely be sold in Canada at steep discounts, harming Canadian manufacturers. www.theglobeandmail.com/investing/pe...

Just received a copy of this superb book by @jennifer-clapp.bsky.social. Highly recommended. A uniquely rich and deeply researched account of the power of the agribusiness titans - and how they shape global policy, from food to climate and biodiversity.

The FT has crowned me "cost-shock queen". I take it. Thanks @chrisgiles.ft.com! Get ready for the next round of sellers' inflation, this time not triggered by natural disasters and war but an onslaught on the global trading system launched by the White House.
