An analysis of the ongoing US-Canada trade war shows that despite recent tariff hikes, Canada still retains a better trade deal with the US than the UK or EU, underscoring the shifting dynamics of the broader trade dispute. In a related development, Canada's Liberals swept three additional seats in by-elections, including one taken from the Conservatives, seen as a boost for Prime Minister Mark Carney following his public confrontation with President Trump over trade tensions. The results suggest domestic political support for Carney's handling of the dispute even as the underlying tariff disagreements remain unresolved.
