So Canada is exempt from the 10% general tariff, the 25% tariff car tariff is on hold while the foreign component situation is worked out but steel and aluminum and certain other 25% tariffs imposed

Now to our election and who will represent our interests at the bargaining table?

"I will say anything to get elected" Poilievre vs Mark Carney who has the creds to lead Canada at this time and who has an experienced negotiating team on his side

Then a renewed trade agreement between US, Canada and Mexico. Perhaps security too. Cartels are a three country problem.

Rob we had a Rotary exchange student from Krefeld which I expect ypou would know. Schwalmtal too is in that area
Did some business with a company there who wrote software.
He took me to a client for whom he had installed statistical process control software and had written another product that was an information manager.
I was interested in creating various templates using it
But the point of interest is that the company was called Masterfoods and they among other lines manufactured the European versions of US chocolat brands
Hence the SPC software used in QC selection and administration on their production lines where they "batch ran" various food products
They urged me to try the chocolate to point out how superior the European versions were compared to their American and Canadian versions
Europeans are used to quality Belgian and Swiss and German and such and yup, the M&Ms and such that they gave me to take along were definitely good
