Quick Summary

Prime Minister Mark Carney announced that Canada's counter-tariffs will take effect on Tuesday on $28 billion worth of U.S. products, a response to the United States imposing tariffs on Canadian goods. Financial conference Scotiabank's global banking and markets financial summit starts on Wednesday, amid growing concerns about the Canadian economy due to the trade war with the US. Transat A.T. Inc., an airline company that paid more than ever for jet fuel in its third quarter due to the Iran war, will release its quarterly results and hold a conference call with investors on Thursday morning. On Friday, Unifor has set a deadline to reach a tentative agreement with U.S. automaker Stellantis regarding the fate of its idled assembly plant in Brampton, Ont.

Story summary

American tourism organizations have been aggressively trying to attract Canadian visitors back to the United States through various promotional campaigns since President Donald Trump returned to office and imposed tariffs on Canadian products, causing an informal boycott of travel to the US. Josh Loewen, a Vancouver marketing executive, notes that after Trump’s re-election, Canadian travel to the U.S. dropped dramatically due to the president's rhetoric about making Canada the 51st state and the ensuing trade war. Despite slight improvements in border crossings from May to July, recent escalations—such as the imposition of up to 50% import taxes by both countries—have renewed doubts about any recovery. Loewen believes current efforts to win back Canadian visitors are futile until a new U.S. president takes office and eases tensions between the two nations.

🔮 Early results showed Albertans were in favour of proposals such as choosing their own judges, abolishing the Senate and changing the Constitution to boost provincial rights. But the “no” side pulled ahead Thursday as the counting continued. The “yes” side continued to lead on questions dealing with immigration, but the margins were tight. Alberta Premier Danielle Smith had already claimed victory on the immigration questions, saying it appeared she was going to be given clear direction from voters to move ahead, although she hinted it could take some time for her government to act. She acknowledged the immigration questions were set to pass with small margins, with urban ridings in Calgary and Edmonton largely voting “no.”
