AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

Canada-U.S. Tariff Talks: Canada and the U.S. are edging toward a deal to avoid Trump’s planned 50% tariffs on some Canadian goods, with talks described as contentious but moving toward a possible package that could include Canadian concessions plus U.S. moves on energy, defense and critical minerals. Trade Diplomacy: Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc met U.S. Trade Rep Jamieson Greer as the Aug. 19 deadline nears, while a Canadian source says Ottawa and Washington remain far apart on a draft agreement. Cost of Living at the Pumps: Pierre Poilievre is urging Prime Minister Mark Carney to extend federal fuel excise tax relief until at least July 1, 2027, arguing gas prices are rising again. Housing Funding: Ontario and Ottawa are pitching up to $1 billion to help municipalities build infrastructure for more homes, aimed at communities that don’t collect development charges. Federal Science Investment: Ottawa awarded a $768.6M contract for a new Ottawa science campus to strengthen public health, food safety and border security. Sports & Olympics: Canada won the women’s flag football world title and qualified for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, while Canada’s men also booked Olympic tickets. Business Spotlight: Calmer Co secured an exclusive global distribution deal for kava extract ingredients covering Canada, the U.S., Australia, New Zealand and ASEAN, with minimum purchases around A$25M over three years.
