... Canada is facing headwinds from south of the border. The economy contracted about 1% last quarter.

On the plus side, Canada is united over global economics. We are increasing internal trade and working hard to raise international trade. Canada is the only G7 country with free trade agreements with all the other six. We are actively promoting trade around the world. Canada has lots of resources, a diverse dynamic population and culture, great education, and lots of willingness to work hard. All that makes Canada a good long-term investment.

And it's a good place to spend vacation dollars! Vacation dollars aren't tariffed by either side of the border! No tariffs on that craft beer you drank. Bargains abound. Plus "Those new sneakers? I bought 'em before I went on vacation. Wanted to look good!" And we don't have tariffs on China (except Chinese EVs), India, France or Brazil.
