AGP Executive Report
Last update: an hour agoCanada-U.S. Trade War: Prime Minister Mark Carney says the U.S. derailed last-minute talks with “unfair, uneconomic” demands, after Washington imposed 50% tariffs on about $20B (and up to $28B in some reports) of Canadian goods early Saturday; Canada has suspended negotiations and will retaliate “dollar-for-dollar” starting Sept. 8, targeting sectors including steel, dairy, appliances, agricultural equipment, pulp and paper, and electronics. Provincial Unity: Ontario Premier Doug Ford backed Carney and urged “Team Canada” unity, while B.C. Premier David Eby called the tariffs “inexplicable and indefensible” and said no deal is better than a bad deal. What’s Next: The tariff fight threatens broader North American trade stability, including the USMCA renewal process, as both sides trade blame and businesses brace for higher costs. Other Canada News: In Saskatchewan’s RM of St. Louis, crews are upgrading a 5.7-km stretch of River Road on the Trans Canada Trail to improve accessibility and safety, funded by a $60,000 grant.
