BMO: A solid headline for #Canadian #trade in Sept, with the seventh surplus in a row, masks some softness under the surface. While #energy and #preciousmetals are supporting #exports, it’s clear that the latest round of #tariffs weighed heavily in September. #cdnecon

Canadians will now pay twice for this oil shock (the 14th since 1973): 1st at the pumps, and now through higher interest rates as Bank of Cda hikes. Bank admits Cda has excess capacity, but lifts rates anyway. Monetary tightening to fight an external price shock: why? #cdnecon /2

🟡 StatCan: August GDP flat, September advance -0.1%. Q3 ~1.3% vs BoC's ~2%.

Caveat: manufacturing rose 0.3%. Wholesale (-1.4%) did the damage, so not tariffs alone.

Long game: diversify. Short game: mitts on.

🟡 StatCan, August:

🚗 Autos -5.8% (partly a summer shutdown)

⛏️ Potash +12%

🚂 Rail +3.6%

Potash up 12% while Washington says it's "still getting what we need." Funny how that works.

Ottawa wants growth but keeps burying us in debt and red tape. You cannot spend your way to prosperity while anchoring the economy with regulation. We need to unhook the anchor and free the market.

A black-and-white political cartoon titled "THE 'GROWTH' AGENDA" at the top, signed by Jeff Johnson at the bottom-left. In the center, a politician labeled "OTTAWA" stands on a trailer labeled "THE CANADIAN ECONOMY," trying to funnel "DEFICIT SPENDING," "BUDGET 2026," and "RED TAPE" into a tiny, sputtering engine. The trailer is bogged down in deep mud labeled "INFLATION" and is chained to a colossal boulder labeled "TRILLIONS IN DEBT & REGULATIONS." Littered papers on the ground are labeled "MORE TAXES," "CONSULTATIONS," and "GRANTS." On the left, an everyday Canadian labeled "LIBERTARIAN" points at the boulder and asks, "HAVE YOU TRIED UNHOOKING THE ANCHOR?!" On the right, dark exhaust smoke rises, labeled "COST OF LIVING" and "DEVALUED CURRENCY." In the bottom-right corner, a tiny, wilting plant is labeled "PRIVATE ENTERPRISE."
