Newly imposed U.S. tariffs are falling disproportionately on Canadian small and mid-sized exporters, which lack the pricing power, inventory buffers, and cross-border production footprints that let large manufacturers absorb or reroute duty costs. The transmission runs through Canadian domestic demand and credit quality first, then into CAD weakness and softer North American cross-border trade volumes, with modest second-round pressure on U.S. import prices and industrial input costs. Confirmation to watch: the final tariff line items and exemption list, Canadian small-business insolvency and lending data, and whether the Bank of Canada frames the shock as growth-negative enough to justify additional easing.

Ray Dalio argues that among the major forces at play, AI will enhance productivity and lower costs over time but also significantly reduce jobs, making it a huge producer of wealth gaps. He raises the question of how to distribute that wealth and benefits like education, noting that 60% of Americans read below a sixth-grade level and asking how that population can be made productive.
