Trump's tariff war with Canada isn't just about prices today; it's about prices for years to come. @bharatramamurti.bsky.social explains how Trump's tariffs are pushing Canadian companies toward the EU, China, & Southeast Asia instead of the US, damaging trading relationships we may never win back.
