3 prediction markets price this story:

• Before Jan 1, 2027 — the market puts it at 66%, closing 1 Jan 2027. The market resolves to Yes if Canada's Prime Minister personally announces a new or increased tariff on U.S. goods after the issue date and before January 1, 2027. It resolves to No if no such announcement occurs by that deadline. Readers often mistake general trade tensions or existing tariffs for the required new official announcement.
• Before Nov 1, 2026 — the market puts it at 36%, with $616 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Nov 2026. The outcome is Yes if Donald Trump announces a new or increased tariff on Canadian imports with a specific effective date between now and November 1, 2026. The outcome is No if no such official announcement occurs by that deadline. Readers often mistake general trade tensions or existing tariffs for the required new presidential action.
• US-Canada diplomatic agreement to lower tariffs by October 31? — the market puts it at 10%, with $4k traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Nov 2026. The market resolves to "Yes" if the United States and Canada jointly announce acceptance of an official agreement that lowers US tariffs on Canadian goods by October 31, 2026, at 11:59 PM ET. The announcement must clearly confirm acceptance of a specific deal rather than just expressing support or discussing ongoing negotiations.
