00:00:00.000 But the other question then this week was, what does this mean for Canada?
00:00:04.980 And I think I've already answered that.
00:00:07.840 It doesn't mean much, right?
00:00:09.440 So Trump doesn't need to reverse tariffs.
00:00:15.440 I also don't think the Democrats want to reverse tariffs because a lot of the tariffs that are imposed on Canada are for things that they want to bring back jobs to the U.S.
00:00:25.800 They're imposing tariffs on us to protect again because they're worried about us cozying up with China and the Democrats and the Republicans agree on that.

00:01:14.680 U.S. in the next two years. Although it's already softening up a little bit and we keep hearing
00:01:21.340 talks of the trade negotiations still being ongoing and stuff like that.
00:01:25.680 So, I mean, that's all I got to say about, because I don't follow American politics much
00:01:32.200 closely either.
