AGP Executive Report
Last update: 2 hours agoCanada–U.S. trade war: The White House moves to ban Canadian dairy, alcohol and motorcycles starting Sept. 29, adding new federal procurement rules that exclude Canadian products from big U.S. contracts, as Ottawa weighs retaliation and keeps talking about a “fair” deal. Ukraine support: Prime Minister Mark Carney and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy signed a 100-year Canada–Ukraine partnership in Calgary, with Canada pledging major air-defence help, loan guarantees for winter energy needs, and a push to scale drone production—plus Canada’s readiness to join Europe’s FREYJA missile shield. Defence industry push: Carney says Canada’s armed forces have about 2,000 drones now, but the new national drone marketplace aims to help Canada produce millions in two years, with a third going to Ukraine. Climate targets under strain: New analysis says Canada is more than 20 years off its 2030 emissions path and may not even hit 2030 targets by 2050. Education: Canada’s teens still score well on OECD/PISA, but reading and math drops raise fresh concerns. Public safety/health: Canada launches its first National Water Security Strategy consultation, with $6.6M funding for Great Lakes projects.
