What we are reading in the corridor.
Short, dated notes on what is actually moving across the Canada–US–Mexico corridor and into Europe: tariff and rules-of-origin changes, FDI flows, programme deadlines, and what they mean for a company with product to move.
Four things, on a schedule.
Everything here is built from public data and carries its sources, which is the same standard our paid work is held to.
The corridor note
What changed in trade, tariff and regulatory terms this week, and which companies it reaches.
FDI watch
Where investment is actually landing in North America, and what the pattern says about the quarter ahead.
Programme deadlines
Market-development and tariff-response programmes, what each asks for and when it closes. Eligibility is always decided by the programme, not by us.
Playbooks
Longer pieces on one problem — tariff response, rules of origin, cold-chain routing — written for an owner, not an economist.
Dated, sourced, and willing to say when something is lagging.
Every figure has a date
Trade statistics lag, sometimes badly. Where a number is behind, we say so next to it rather than quietly presenting it as current.
Primary sources, linked
Official tariff schedules, programme pages and statistical releases, linked so you can check any claim yourself.
A sales pitch
The notes exist because people come back to them. The moment they become advertising, they stop working.
