• The Canada action lands just after a different, broader tariff is set to fall away, and the two moving in opposite directions changes the calculus for every North American sourcing decision.
• Two separate relief mechanisms just moved in buyers’ favor, and there is a specific set of procurement moves that converts every one of these developments into an advantage rather than a cost.
