AGP Executive Report
Last update: 8 hours agoCanada–U.S. Trade Tensions: Trump again attacked the Canadian dollar “imbalance” as unacceptable, as the tariff fight escalates with 50% duties on about $20B of Canadian imports and Canada promising dollar-for-dollar retaliation starting Sept. 8. Tourism Fallout: U.S. tourism groups are trying to win Canadians back with deals, but travellers call it a “wasted effort” while the trade war and political insults keep souring the mood. Public Mood in Canada: A Leger poll finds 41% of Canadians now see the U.S. as an “enemy,” with most blaming Trump directly; support for retaliation remains high even as people worry about higher costs. Jobs and Household Pressure: Canada shed about 41,700 jobs in August, with economists pointing to trade-exposed sectors as the risk before the full tariff impact hits. Big Canadian Deal: Alstom signed a C$4.7B agreement to build 313 VIA Rail passenger cars in Canada, with a 15-year support package—another major manufacturing and infrastructure push. TFSA Investing Angle: A new take argues investors could put a 2026 TFSA contribution into a 5.5% TSX dividend stock for passive income, emphasizing dividend sustainability over yield alone.
