🇨🇦 Some Canadian companies can get refunds for money lost to Trump's tariffs. Here's how

So after months of chaos, supply chain carnage, and businesses bleeding cash, Ottawa's big solution is... a U.S. government web portal where you might get a refund if you're lucky enough to qualify. Only about a quarter of affected Canadian firms were even listed as importer of record, meaning most can't apply directly. The rest have to beg their American partners to file and hope they see a dime. The portal already crashed on launch day. Peak competence.

Meanwhile, 57 per cent of Canadian small businesses have already scaled back U.S. activity and 14 per cent cut ties entirely. Refunds won't reverse that damage or restore gutted profit margins. This isn't a win, it's a participation trophy handed out after the game is already lost. Canadian sovereignty continues to mean waiting in line for American mercy.
