How many Canadians would leave if the door to the United States was held open by a President Donald Trump?

It’s not a rhetorical question anymore. The exodus has already begun. Families are quietly packing up and heading south. People who once wore the maple leaf with pride are asking themselves a painful but unavoidable question: Can I still raise my children here?

Is Canada’s supply management system for the production of dairy and eggs a major stumbling block in current negotiations between Prime Minister Mark Carney and U.S. President Donald Trump?

Trump has certainly mentioned the Canadian dairy sector’s protective policies when airing his grievances about trade relations with Canada. However, he hasn’t opposed it with the same vigour as he recently opposed Canada’s Digital Services Tax (DST).

A filing deadline for the DST—which would have cost American tech giants like Amazon and Google billions in taxes to operate in Canada—was set to come into effect during the trade negotiations on June 30, making it a more visible target for Trump. But how strongly U.S. industry is pushing Trump to target Canada’s supply management, and whether he has other priorities, is also a factor to consider.

After 2 days of trade talks, premiers tackle crime, bail reform and health care

After two days of strategizing on how to respond to the trade war U.S. President Donald Trump is waging on Canada, the premiers sat down Wednesday to discuss violent crime, drug trafficking and health care.

They’re calling on the federal government to make good on its promise to introduce legislation in the fall sitting of Parliament that will make it harder for repeat violent offenders to get bail.

Supply management presents a mystery in multiple dimensions. How is it possible, on the one hand, that every political party could be so fanatically devoted to this policy, for the benefit of such a narrow slice of the economy – roughly 9,000 dairy farms, plus a couple of thousand chicken and egg producers – and at such exorbitant cost to the rest, even going so far as to pass legislation forbidding Canadian trade negotiators to make any concessions on it, no matter what they get in return?

Coyne is right for a change.

This month, the United States Congress passed President Donald Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill, which, among other things, extended and made permanent the income tax rate reductions and revised tax brackets first brought in through the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, namely a 2.6 percentage point cut to the top bracket. This should raise alarm bells for policymakers north of the border, as Canada will continue to have uncompetitive personal income tax rates compared to our American counterparts and fall even farther behind in the race to attract entrepreneurs, professionals, investors, and top talent.

Prime Minister Mark Carney says negotiations with the United States on trade and security will aim to get the “best deal for Canada.”

Carney spoke ahead of meeting with Canada’s premiers in Huntsville, Ont., where he is joining the talks on how to build a stronger Canadian economy and tear down internal trade barriers in the face of U.S. President Donald Trump’s trade war and tariffs.
