Trump has doubled the tariff on Steel and aluminum from Canada in response to the 25% increase power cost from Ontario. Seems Canada does not want us to have the same tariffs as they charge us and wants a trade war. Nor do they want to allow our companies the same access to their markets as theirs has to ours.

Either disagreements among opec nations, new supplies coming online in non-opec nations, or credible predictions of decline in global GDP. Guess which one this is.

They have been subsidizing these moves for years. Now if he increases the price of electricity we just stop buying it forever, and figure a way to not need him anymore. The Alberta PM came out promising no new tariffs. The issue they have a heavy oil, there are not a lot of refineries that can even process it. We have most of those. Also, it is in a place that is tough from a logistics view to get to another country. So it just stays in the ground if we get in a tariff war.

Looking at available capacity steel tariffs will have negligible impacts. Our steel companies are as efficient (one exception) if not more than any in the world.
Aluminum is another kettle of fish because of Alcoa. Alcoa is a globalist company based in Pittsburgh. The Canadian smelters are mostly owned indirectly by them. The last time Trump hit Canada with 10% aluminum tariffs Alcoa got an exemption. This gave them a 10% advantage. They did not hold cost, they charged the extra 10%. In other words they just made more money. They have shifted production to Canada and closed US smelters. The Warrick smelter (2022), Wanatchee (2020), Intalco (2022). Another independant smelter was basically run out of business due to that exemption.Magnitude 7 Metals LLC aluminium smelter in Marston, Missouri. This was announced January 2024. We can restart these facilities and actually have little impact as well.
