AGP Executive Report
Last update: an hour agoCanada-U.S. Trade War Turns Up: Canada’s retaliatory tariffs on about C$27.6B (US$20B) of U.S. imports kicked in Tuesday, with duties of 15%, 25% and 50% hitting consumer-facing categories like cheese and other dairy, appliances, electronics, clothing and furniture, plus steel and aluminum. Bombardier Pressure Escalates: Hours before the tariffs took effect, Donald Trump threatened to block Bombardier jet sales in the U.S. unless the company builds in America; Bombardier pushed back, saying it supports tens of thousands of U.S. jobs, while Republican Sen. Jerry Moran urged the administration to recognize Bombardier’s Wichita footprint. Provincial Spillover on Alcohol: Saskatchewan also moved to apply its 50% retaliatory tax on American booze as the federal tariff fight continues, while other provinces weigh similar steps. Health Alert (Sweetener): A new study links higher xylitol levels to increased long-term cardiovascular risk, adding pressure on how Canadians think about “natural” sweeteners. Back-to-School Techlash: Ontario’s return to school includes policy changes and growing parent pushback over classroom screen time and broader tech use. Local Consumer Note: Surrey’s Essence of Detail is marketing ceramic coating as routine paint maintenance, not a one-off add-on.
