Rationale

The US imposes a broad 25% tariff on Canadian imports, triggering supply chain disruptions, reduced exports, and currency depreciation. This is the single most consequential external shock facing the Canadian economy.

Details

Epoch: 1

Domain: trade

Fiscal cost estimate: -$8.68B CAD net (RIPPLE-derived; LLM omitted)

Top RIPPLE cost paths
  • −$10.56B → consumer_spending (Consumer Spending Growth) via consumer_price_tariff_impact
  • +$1.88B → budgetary_balance (Budgetary Balance (Deficit/Surplus)) via tariff_gdp_impact

Causal effects: 10 downstream variables affected (0 immediate)

Divergence after: 94.491

Variable changes

  • us_tariff_rate_on_canada: 0 → 25

Proposed policy move

us_tariff_rate_on_canada: 0 → 25 (▲ 25)

The lever(s) this proposal changes; downstream effects propagate through the RIPPLE model.
