How it bears on the outcome
| Explanation | Fit | Why |
|---|---|---|
| O0 No meaningful speed-up | Neutral weak | A possible sale of an idled car assembly plant concerns auto manufacturing, not the pace of Canada's resource build-out; it fits every outcome equally. |
| O1 Faster, but the extra output goes mostly elsewhere | Neutral weak | The event says nothing about extra resource output or where it goes; it fits all outcome readings equally. |
| O2 Faster, and more volume reaches the US (this level or higher) | Neutral weak | Auto-sector pressure from US tariffs does not bear on the volume of Canadian resources reaching the US; fits equally. |
| O3 Locked-in preferential terms for the US | Neutral weak | No preferential resource terms for the US are involved; the event fits all outcome readings equally. |
