MORNING NEWS SCRAMBLE
Get ready for Saturday
President Trump says he’s going to hit Canadian goods with a 25% tariff as promised on February 1st, but he’s still trying to decide whether to apply it to Canadian oil. We’re the #1 source of American oil imports by far. He also says the tariffs might get higher over time. With hours to go we’re still waiting for word on exactly how Canada will respond.
Who’s going to be hardest hit?
Depending on whether oil is a tariff target, the top industries that will feel the tariff pain are oil and gas extractors, auto makers, petro refineries, crop and animal production, and aluminum makers.
On the campaign trail
PC Leader Doug Ford is doubling down on his major investments in EV production, but his rivals aren’t so sure. The NDP’s Marit Stiles says she believes in EVs, but wants to review the deals that Mr. Ford has done. The Liberal’s Bonnie Crombie says she’s concerned that Mr. Ford hasn’t diversified the provincial economy enough by deciding to put all the “eggs in the EV basket.”

Tariffs and the housing market
A popular mortgage broker says tariffs will hit the housing market. Ron Butler tells the Financial Post: “People are always going to be cautious about buying a house if they think their jobs could be in jeopardy.”

Crusty eyes?

Dementia blood testing trials start in UK
3,000 British patients will soon take part in a study where their blood is tested for biomarkers that have been linked to dementia in other studies. The hope is that a simple blood test will allow doctors to detect dementia at an earlier stage. Right now in the UK, only 2% of Alzheimer’s patients have a proper diagnosis partly due to a shortage of PET scanners.
