I shared some thoughts with @ClarrieF for her article in today’s @TorontoStar about the business community's reaction to the Minister of Transport’s statement on the future of Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport. 🛫

We all share the goal of keeping goods made with forced labour out of the market. That's why we submitted formal comments to the U.S. Trade Representative and will continue engaging both U.S. and Canadian governments as this process moves forward ⤵️

Canada should not be targeted under the proposed U.S. #Section301 tariffs.

Canada already prohibits imports made with forced labour, more legislation and businesses investing heavily in compliance and supply chain transparency.

"If the intent is truly to address forced labour, the focus should be a coordinated approach through a multilateral mechanism," said our EVP Matthew Holmes. "The timing of this is somewhat suspect as previous rounds of tariffs sunset."

"It's in fact a very different beast in terms of a tariff threat."

Our CEO Candace Laing joined @CNN's @jimsciutto to discuss the latest U.S. tariffs, why they're different from previous rounds and whether there's still a path to negotiations over the next 29 days. #cdnpoli

“If an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind, a tariff for a tariff is going to make us all a lot poorer."

Our EVP Matthew Holmes tells @CTVNews that as 🇨🇦 weighs its response to 🇺🇸 tariffs, consumer and business affordability must be a priority. ⤵️

Yesterday, the U.S. administration imposed 50% tariffs on a wide range of Canadian exports, with the measures set to take effect in 30 days.

"We knew this would get bumpier before landing," said our President and CEO, Candace Laing, in a new statement ⤵️

The Bank of Canada held interest rates today. But what does that actually tell us about the economy?

Our Principal Economist @AndrewDiCap breaks down today's decision, why the Bank is staying in wait-and-see mode and what it could mean for interest rates in the months ahead. ⤵️

Indigenous businesses are navigating the same trade disruptions as everyone else, but their experiences are often missing from the conversation.

Our new report, with @PrairiesCanEN and @ccib_national, explores how tariffs are affecting Indigenous businesses across the Prairies.
