Canadian ‘snowbirds’ in U.S. looking to fly north for good The number of Canadian 'snowbirds' planning to sell their second homes in sunny Florida and Arizona has surged this spring, many of them put off by the sudden chill that has blanketed relations between their homeland and the U.S.

What a finish!

“.. Carney didn’t need to shout. .. He lined up the free world—Japan, the EU, Canada in lockstep—and showed Trump the cliff’s edge. ..

“.. Little triggers and strategies you get when the world’s most respected economist is your PM.”

Inside the Oval Office: 3 factors that led to Trump's tariff pause The episode highlighted the key roles Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick are playing in Trump's risky game with U.S. trade and manufacturing policy.

Trump buckled under tremendous, mounting-by-the-minute pressure from CEOs ... friends ... GOP senators ... the markets ... and bond prices.

Trump himself admits he blinked when "people were getting a little queasy" about the bond market.

Give me a break. People saying that this was the art of the deal, Trump is a master strategist, all designed to isolate China. This was not a strategy. The Bond Market told them that what they were doing was going to sink the ship. Credibility with allies is broken.

trashing america’s reputational capital will undermine any benefits from tariffs/dealmaking.

Does Peter Navarro actually have a PhD in Econ from Harvard? Hard to believe if true.

There was a time when this would have really upset me. Gretzky, the National Hero, my hero growing up. Now I’m just meh!

More and more I’m liking the idea of #CANZUK.

Who’s tired of “winning”?

Maybe we can talk 11th province?

Interesting!

Besides the obvious that you are stating @carlquintanilla.bsky.social Reasonable estimates put each weekend golf outing at $3.5-5 million. I can’t believe the American people, who have bought into DOGE, are ok with this.

WEDBUSH: “.. iPhones made in the US would cost $3,500 (vs. $1,000), and the AI Revolution trade would be significantly slowed down by these head scratching tariffs that NEED to be negotiated to realistic levels ..”

i lied. one more.

“you don’t have the cards”

Liquidation Day!

CNBC's Steve Liesman doesn't mince words about the way the White House calculated its tariff rates:

"Nobody ever heard of this formula. Nobody has ever used this formula. So I’m sorry, but the conclusion seems to be the president kind of made this up as he went along... these are off the charts."

Stock Markets down “Bigly”.

Eric’s always been the last to negotiate.

Total insanity.

Now that we have the tariff announcement and look to retaliatory actions what is the incentive to buy US debt? Do countries like China or Japan have the same incentive to maintain financial stability if the US market closes off to them? Interested in thought on this @ianbremmer.com

A 15% pullback from market highs would wipe out approximately $6.9 trillion in value from S&P 500 or $8.1 trillion in the broader U.S. market.

Make America Poor Again!

Donald Trump has committed the most profound, harmful and unnecessary economic error in the modern era. Almost everything he said—on history, economics and the technicalities of trade—was utterly deluded econ.st/3YbbFjq

[2/2] india: $45.7bn surplus, $87.4bn exports, 45.7/87.4 = 52% claimed tariffs charged

vietnam: $123.5bn surplus, $136.6 exports, 123.5/136.6 = 90% claimed tariffs charged

which explains why the “tariffs charged to the usa” column looked made up.
