U.S. President Donald Trump says the United States is giving “serious consideration” to changing the name of Lake Ontario to “Lake America” after trade talks with Canada deteriorated into a heated social media dispute. In a social media post, Trump said the U.S. does not expect to continue doing business with Ontario “much longer.” He later said he would never interfere with Canadians speaking French and denied trying to weaken French-language protections during trade negotiations. Trump also called Prime Minister Mark Carney “weak and unpopular.” Ontario Premier Doug Ford resp

The federal government is set to announce new counter-tariffs on selected U.S. goods and additional support measures for Canadian businesses and workers affected by U.S. trade restrictions. The measures follow a breakdown in trade discussions with the United States and the imposition of a 50 per cent tariff by the U.S. administration on Canadian goods, according to the information provided.

Prime Minister Mark Carney says Canada currently has no plans to restart trade negotiations with the United States, reducing hopes that the ongoing trade war between the two countries will end anytime soon. Carney said Canada will return to the negotiating table when the United States is prepared to engage in talks in the right manner. However, he made it clear that Ottawa will not accept an approach that treats Canada as a “subsidiary” of the United States. Carney indicated that Canada will not seek to restart negotiations at this stage. However, it remains possible that the Trump adminis

Prime Minister Mark Carney has announced that the federal government will invest more than $11 billion to build six new icebreakers for the Canadian Coast Guard at Chantier Davie in Lévis, Quebec. The government says it is the largest shipbuilding contract in Quebec’s history. The new vessels will replace the Coast Guard’s aging heavy and medium icebreakers and will support missions including Arctic operations, search and rescue, environmental response and keeping key waterways open during the winter. The ships will be built using Canadian steel and other domestic materials under the fed

Canada’s Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne and Energy Minister Tim Hodgson have urged Canadians to support domestic products and “Buy Canadian” in response to U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs. Champagne said that when a close trading partner uses negotiations as a tool to exert pressure rather than seeking a mutually beneficial outcome, it sends a serious message to the world and makes it clear that the United States has changed. He said the greatest strength of Canadians and Canadian companies is their purchasing power. By choosing Canadian products at grocery stores,

Amid the latest escalation in the Canada-U.S. trade war, Ontario Premier Doug Ford has warned that the province could cut off electricity and critical mineral supplies to the United States if President Donald Trump’s trade measures push the situation into a more serious phase. Following Prime Minister Mark Carney’s decision to step back from trade talks with the United States late Friday, Ford said that “everything is on the table” as Canada considers possible retaliatory measures. Ford warned that Ontario has important resources that the United States relies on, including electricity

Prime Minister Mark Carney has called the United States’ new 50 per cent tariffs on Canadian goods an attack on Canada’s economy and announced that Ottawa will respond with dollar-for-dollar tariffs beginning Sept. 8. Asked by reporters whether Canada has now entered a trade war with the United States, Carney said the country is responding to what he described as an economic attack. Carney acknowledged that tariffs could lead to higher prices and fewer choices for Canadians. He said, however, that rejecting what he characterized as a bad deal was in Canada’s interest. The prime minister

U.S. tariffs on Canadian imports went into effect early Saturday morning after Prime Minister Mark Carney suspended trade negotiations just minutes before the midnight deadline. ​"I have decided to suspend trade negotiations with the U.S. and have directed Canada’s negotiators to return to Ottawa," Prime Minister Mark Carney said. "Last-minute changes in the U.S.-proposed terms were unfair, uneconomic, and called into question the reliability of any deal. Canada will match those tariffs dollar for dollar to protect our workers and businesses." ​In a statement released Friday night, U.S.
