As long as Canada is a federal state as now constituted, Ottawa lacks the jurisdiction to impose inter-provincial free trade.

Are you sure Canada will figure it out? If anything we have just learned that when Trump says jump our politicians say 'how high.' Immediately rolling back Canada's response without securing a loud and public promise not to fuck with us again does not show a lot of independence.

Canada didn't concede anything.

We committed to keeping agreements we had already made with Biden, and we agreed to give someone an honourary title of fentanyl tzar. That's it.

If Trump wants something real, I hope our leaders will fight back, but for now, there's not much we can or should do. We'll see how it goes in a month when the tariffs unpause.
