AGP Executive Report
Last update: 16 minutes agoTrade War Escalation: Canada’s retaliatory tariffs kicked in Tuesday on about C$27.6B (US$20B) of U.S. imports, with duties of 15%, 25% and 50% hitting items like steel and aluminum, cheese and other dairy, appliances, electronics, furniture and agricultural equipment—after Ottawa suspended talks and matched Washington “dollar-for-dollar.” Aerospace Flashpoint: Hours before the tariff start, Donald Trump threatened to block Bombardier aircraft sales in the U.S. unless the Montreal-based maker builds in America; Bombardier pushed back, and a Kansas Republican senator publicly defended Bombardier’s Wichita footprint. Consumer Impact Watch: Economists and trade groups warn the new duties will flow into higher prices for everyday goods, while Ottawa also adjusted its tariff list—dropping some seafood after industry pushback. Business Finance: Amazon is tapping the sterling bond market for the first time, adding to a 2026 borrowing spree that has topped US$80B across multiple currencies. Policy & People: Food Allergy Canada is urging nationwide rules requiring schools to stock epinephrine devices, pointing to Alberta’s 2020 law as the model.
