Eric Ham: Donald Trump's latest trade salvo raises the stakes for Canada
Political commentator Eric Ham speaks about the assassination attempt against Trump and the impact it had. Eric Ham is based in Washington, D.C. and is a political analyst for CTV News. He's a bestselling author and former congressional staffer in the U.S. Congress and writes for The on-again-off-again trade talks between the United States and Canada are taking on a whole new meaning in light of newly proposed escalatory import duties. U.S. President Donald Trump continues to weaponize import duties, cajoling and bullying nations to agree to hastily enacted trade deals that oftentimes fall woefully short of addressing even the most basic tenets of his perceived gripes. The treacherous landscape makes for a bruising and precarious colloquy between North America's two biggest trading partners and once-great friends. The announcement of a 35 per cent increase in tariffs on all Canadian goods by August 1 places Ottawa's leaders between a proverbial rock and a hard place. This is the environment Canadian negotiators find themselves facing. Of course, one small misstep not only has the potential to send talks screeching to an abrupt halt but also the very real possibility of being on the bruising end of this unhinged president's scathing tirades. At a recent cabinet meeting, Trump made news announcing the United States' plans to impose a new 50 per cent tariff on all copper imported into the country. The pronouncement sent shockwaves through the markets and took Canadian leaders by surprise. Industry Minister Melanie Joly shot back: 'We'll fight against it. Period.' Melanie Joly Minister of Industry Melanie Joly speaks to reporters in the foyer of the House of Commons on Parliament Hill in Ottawa on Wednesday, June 4, 2025. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Sean Kilpatrick (Sean Kilpatrick/The Canadian Press) According to data, the U.S. was Canada's largest copper importer in 2023. In a Truth Social post, Trump's ominous message portends the upheaval that is on the horizon. He stated, 'America will, once again, build a DOMINANT Copper Industry. THIS IS, AFTER ALL, OUR GOLDEN AGE!' Threatening to choke off all imports, the president's menacing disposition towards key trading partners continues to stunt U.S.-based businesses and damage consumer confidence as well as create massive disruptions to the global supply chain. Not stopping there, Trump is also threatening an astounding 200 per cent tariff on pharmaceuticals, which he says are coming very soon. Like copper imports, pharmaceuticals account for a sizable share of drugs and medicines shipped to the United States from Canada. Canadian Generic Pharmaceutical Association President Jim Keon says he is hopeful that a trade agreement currently being negotiated between Canada and the United States will provide relief for the nation's pharmaceutical industry. Friendship, trust 'are all gone' However, much like the incessant threats and flummoxing tariff rates, it is anyone's guess if Ottawa's leaders can reach a mutual endgame that keeps six decades of seamless economic integration intact. The president has spoken very glowingly of Prime Minister Mark Carney. He has showered him with praise and adulation since his election victory. However, the American strongman has not let that stop him from lambasting Canada; armed with disinformation to advance aims and objectives meant to inflict maximum harm and damage. The twice-impeached convicted felon has shown remarkable ability separating respect for Carney and disdain for the United States' largest trading partner. North America's flow of goods, services, and products across borders is the envy of the world. Canada, the United States, along with Mexico have created a regional economy that served as the bedrock of integration, innovation, and cooperation. However, in just six months, the so-called master negotiator and principal of the 'art of the deal' has only succeeded in destroying relationships, erecting barriers, and fomenting discord. Friendship, mutual respect, and trust are all gone; in their place are enemies, disdain, and suspicion. This is the climate Canadian leaders now find themselves in as they traverse an intractable and unforgiving political and economic terrain. D-Day is less than 30 days away and in a White House too often shaped by the daily or hourly whims of an unpredictable and volatile president, time, nor reason, or even logic are on the side of Canada's negotiators. Even after empirical data has shown the Liberation Day tariffs to be a colossal failure, the king of bankruptcy continues to double down on a signature economic program with no upside. Still, Washington and foreign capitals across the globe doggedly and determinedly seek to find the silver lining. Searching for answers in a sea full of questions and inertia. Yet amid the turmoil, the dysfunction, and the unceasing bromides Ottawa presses forward. Unyielding as it admirably forges ahead upholding a system of mutual gain; an ethos grounded in trust; and a dogma guided by unity. Creeds the White House seems to abhor. Principles that Trump clearly eschews. Still, Ottawa continues to extend itself but alas, Washington is no longer there reaching back.

Prediction: Solana Will Be Worth $500 Within 5 Years
Key Points Solana is seeing a lot of users actually using its chain for what it was intended to do. That's driving money to the chain itself, as well as into its app ecosystem. Its competitors aren't anywhere near it in terms of how much cash their apps bring in. 10 stocks we like better than Solana › Would you want to invest in a store that gets a lot of paying customers, or one that doesn't? The same principle applies to blockchains, as the chains that collect the most fees are the ones people actually use. Right now the busiest store is Solana, (CRYPTO: SOL) which has raked in more protocol revenue than any other network for three straight quarters and counting. Furthermore, at roughly $150 per coin, its market still prices it like an also-ran rather than a star player. That mismatch between cash coming in and price going out is why I think the token can top $500 within five years. Network revenue and app revenue are winning the day Let's clarify two very important concepts for evaluating cryptocurrencies like Solana: Network revenue, and application revenue. Network revenue is simply the sum of fees users pay to get their transactions registered into a block on the chain. Application revenue, on the other hand, is the sum total of revenue generated by the applications running on a chain. High network and app revenue means heavy activity, in the form of decentralized finance (DeFi) swaps, non-fungible token (NFT) mints, payments for services, and borrowing or lending flows. In the 24 hours leading up to July 8, Solana brought in $1.3 million in network revenue, and its app ecosystem brought in $8.6 million, vastly outclassing all of its competitors by a large margin. This streak has been accelerating in the most recent quarter. Solana booked more than $571 million in app revenue in second-quarter 2025, leaving Ethereum 's $200 million in the dust. Daily snapshots tell the same story. On July 6, Solana captured almost half of all layer 1 (L1) and layer 2 (L2) network earnings worldwide. Why do users keep piling in? Start with transaction costs and speed. A typical Solana transaction costs about $0.00025 and settles in a couple of seconds, compared with Ethereum's multi-dollar gas bills that arrive fashionably late. Those economics make Solana the chain of choice for high-frequency decentralized exchange (DEX) trading, driving 46% of all decentralized-app revenue across crypto last quarter. App developers follow the money, as they won't get paid otherwise. On that front, more than 7,600 new builders joined the ecosystem in 2024, the fastest growth in the sector by far. A bigger dev base seeds more apps, which beget more users, which inflate revenue, making the Solana flywheel exactly what Ethereum pioneered but is now struggling to maintain. Taken together, nine months of revenue leadership signal that Solana owns the most vibrant storefront in crypto. Next comes turning that cash register ring into price appreciation, which will take time. The path to $500 is very plausible from here Given the above, the odds of Solana growing significantly over the coming years are fairly favorable. Hitting a target of $500 from $152 requires a 229% climb, or roughly a 3.3x return from where the coin is today. That sounds heroic until you remember that Solana traded near $260 in late 2021, with far less adoption than today, and with practically zero in terms of its DeFi application revenue. Assuming network revenue keeps compounding while fee-burn mechanics retire a slice of every transaction cost, the float of available tokens will tighten over time, pushing the price lever upward. Speed and cost aren't the only draws. Solana's single-shard architecture lets every smart contract and program see the same state at once, cutting the complexity of cross-chain bridges that have plagued rivals with hacks and downtime. If big-ticket real world asset (RWA) platforms or AI inference markets pick a chain for throughput reasons, Solana's capacity to process 65,000 transactions per second (TPS) makes it a frontrunner. Still, five years is plenty of time for potholes along the way. A hard regulatory crackdown on low-fee chains, a catastrophic validator outage, or Ethereum's long-awaited darksharding upgrade could all erode Solana's edge. Macro shocks matter, too. If liquidity vanishes from the market, fee revenue will follow it down for both its apps and the network itself. Even so, the core thesis is simple. Money talks. When a chain out-earns everyone else for nine straight months, the market usually notices eventually. If Solana's revenue keeps sprinting while its tokenomics quietly throttle supply, a triple-digit price tag starting with "5" is no stretch whatsoever over the next few years. In fact, I predict that it'll happen before 2030, because right now, its competitors simply can't keep up with its main draws. Should you invest $1,000 in Solana right now?
