The Globe and Mail reports in its Monday edition that if President Donald Trump makes good on his tariff threat, the co-founder of Resurgens Technology Partners, Adi Filipovic, expects his business of buying software companies will be just fine. The Globe's Jameson Berkow writes that despite tariff-related uncertainty putting a broad chill on Canadian deal-making and legal experts warning that software may not be spared should tariffs actually arrive, Mr. Filipovic is expecting Canadian software-related merger and acquisition activity to rise this year. He said: "We continue to actively pursue and look for Canadian businesses for a lot of reasons. And I do think the next 12 months are going to look better with respect to volumes." He thinks it is a good time "to attract U.S. buyers." Mario Di Pietro, head of Origin's Canadian tech practice, has been doing Canadian tech M&A for decades. Part of the group that took Constellation Software public in 2006, he said deal making in the sector this year is already likely to surpass 2024. Mr. Di Pietro said, "I have seen a lot, and I've seen a lot of the cycles in tech, especially in Canada and I'm sitting here thinking, 'yeah, we are in a great position.'"
