I checked StatsCan after this. Foreign direct investment into Canada reached 96.8 billion dollars in 2025. Highest since 2007. It lines up with investors chasing calm while U.S. layoffs hit 92,000 in a month and tariffs bite consumers. Stability really pulls the cash.

Who pays the tariff was confusing to me too. I always thought that the companies exporting the items paid tariffs so they would raise the cost of their export to cover tariff costs. The companies importing the items would pass on the extra costs to the consumer. Either way, it negatively affects us all. Too much too soon.

Apparently a judge has ordered them to start paying back the tariffs. I believe Netflix is another, Costco too just sued as well. We’ll see.
