Trump Just Lost Congress — And Canada Might Be the Biggest Winner

Democrats won both the House and the Senate in the U.S. midterms, and the trade war with Canada was on the ballot from Maine to Michigan. What does a Democratic Congress mean for Mark Carney, the tariffs and the January 1 auto deadline? On November 3, 2026, Democrats flipped at least seven Senate seats and took the House. In Maine, Troy Jackson defeated Susan Collins in a race shaped in part by the Canada–U.S. trade war. We look at what the exit polls said about tariffs, what Congress can and can't do about them, what is still in force for Canadian workers, and whether Ottawa now holds the stronger hand before Carney and Trump cross paths at APEC in Shenzhen. Note: Alaska and Mississippi Senate races were still too close to call at the time of recording.
