Unfortunately the death of CUSMA would destroy many Canadian small businesses, my own included. Nobody would buy my product if it suddenly shot up 20%-50% in price, even though there's no American alternative.

I'd rather we keep the fight up, but if we can get some leverage and buy time for US politics to shift, it'll probably be worth it.

    US politics isn’t going to shift. This is just the beginning. You should base your business decisions on that.

    The political polls seem to disagree with you.

    Thankfully it's just a passion side project for me, I'm willing to take the loss and close it down if I need to. Many Canadians aren't so lucky.
