Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The tariffs and trade tensions are greatly affecting integrated supply chains, as Canada previously accounted for 23 per cent of total U.S. steel imports. The situation is complicated by potential political conflict, as warns against Doug Ford cutting off electricity to Michigan, Minnesota, and New York, which could provoke retaliation against Enbridge Line 5.
