Berkshire 2025 highlights: Stepping aside as CEO, trade and market volatility
$Berkshire Hathaway-A (BRK.A.US)$ held its highly anticipated annual shareholders meeting Saturday. Here are some key takeaways from the eve

Berkshire's 2025 Annual Shareholders Meeting
Handiyanan : If Carney’s Liberals snag that win, I’m eyeing green energy, construction, and tech infrastructure as the big winners.
BOOMbilily : As an investor, I’m stocking up on gold miners and agriculture. If Poilievre wins, I’d add border tech stocks (customs automation, anyone?) to the mix. You think the market’s overreacting to this ‘independence’ talk, or should we brace for real volatility?
Dadacai : I think the aim is to reduce reliance on the US rather than to stop trading with US altogether. I’m sure there are other countries eager to trade with Canada as long as the price is right. It just requires political will and the people’s support.
Magnificent Madness : g
73216503yes : i think everyone is nervous about the economic situation for their daily life, no matter which party wins, its wont change too much in the short few years after almost 10 years with wrong person running .
Fahaduddin : The goal seems to be reducing dependence on the US, not ending trade with them entirely. I’m sure many other countries would be eager to trade with Canada if the terms are favorable—it just takes political will and public support to make it happen.
Andrew0904 : If the Liberal Party is elected, green Energy may benefit. If the Conservative Party is elected, a vital force in the Canadian economy—small businesses—will prosper.
AVL751 Max : The goal is to reduce dependence on trade with the USA and achieve self-reliance. Seek export opportunities from other countries. Domestically, there is a need to increase employment opportunities and create a better operational environment, but tax cuts can only solve immediate problems. The focus should be on the long term.
74902646 : I think it is somewhat impossible for the Liberal Party to be elected and for Canada to achieve economic independence.
Harmonyschyff : 1. If Mark Carney’s Liberals win, I’d expect the clean energy, technology and innovation, and public transit and green infrastructure sectors to benefit most. Carney’s background in sustainable finance suggests a push toward decarbonization and resilience-building, especially in industries that align with climate goals and global ESG trends. We’d likely see investments in electrified transit, smart infrastructure, and research-driven tech growth, which would open doors for skilled jobs and future-proofed industries.
Under a Poilievre Conservative government, I’d expect a shift. The focus would probably move toward traditional energy, resource extraction, and private-sector infrastructure. His emphasis on “getting government out of the way” could reduce support for green initiatives while favoring deregulation and accelerated project approvals. So yes—my answer would change based on the priorities of each government.
2. Full economic independence from the U.S. isn't realistic—at least not in the short term. Our economies are deeply integrated, especially in energy, agriculture, and manufacturing. But I do believe strategic diversification is both smart and necessary. We should be building trade relationships with Europe, Southeast Asia, and Africa, investing in domestic innovation, and reducing our overreliance on U.S. demand or protectionist policies.
For investors, this election could create volatility, so preparation is key. I’d suggest leaning into diversified portfolios, watching for signals on interest rates and trade direction, and paying attention to sectors likely to shift with the government in power. Think green energy and infrastructure under the Liberals; fossil fuels and financial deregulation under the Conservatives. Hedge accordingly, stay flexible, and don’t react emotionally to headlines—Canadian fundamentals are strong, no matter who’s in office.
