One story.
Three layers.

Tension

Canada is retaliating against a trading partner that buys nearly 70 percent of its exports — a move that demands unified political will against a mathematically unequal opponent.

Noise

The public debate fixates on tariff percentages and political theater, missing that trade wars reshuffle supply chains built over decades and that the reshuffling tends to stick even after the tariffs lift.

Direct Message

Carney's retaliation is a bet on time — that Canadian voters will absorb pain longer than American consumers will. The 70 percent export dependence figure tells you which side of that bet has the shorter runway.
