not to mention any potential compound tariffs on complex goods likes automobiles for example.

Prices skyrocket immensely.

The housing market is only going to get more expensive, etc.

By compound tariffs, do you mean extra tariff fees due to repeated trips across the border in the manufacturing process?

Ya. I watched the Doug Ford announcement, and he said parts can cross the Ontario border up to 8 times before making it into the vehicle or final product.

so $10 part -> $12.50 -> $15.625 -> $19.531 -> $24.414 -> $30.517 -> $38.146 -> $47.683 -> $59.60

So that $10 part from the first factory is now $59.60 and that's before the fact that it probably increases in value at each step along the way to being refined into it's final product.

Thats why he's saying (as well as others) that they expect the factories on both sides to shut down within a couple weeks.

Edit: half of that if it's a one way tariff where both sides didn't put tariffs on the exact same items.
