AGP Executive Report
Last update: 10 hours agoCanada–EU Alliance: Prime Minister Mark Carney told the European Parliament Canada and Europe are “stronger together” after the EU floated a new “associate member” status—an option that isn’t in EU treaties yet and still needs details, even as Trump warns it’s a “hostile act” and threatens tariffs or a trade halt. Trade War Fallout: The U.S. has moved from tariffs to import bans, including a Sept. 29 ban on most Canadian alcohol, with analysts warning costs could spill back onto U.S. buyers too. Monetary Policy Watch: The U.S. Federal Reserve raised rates to 3.75%–4.00%, raising questions for Canadian markets even though the Bank of Canada sets policy independently. Business & Investment: TD Bank pledged $150B over five years for lending and underwriting in areas like energy, critical minerals, defence, aerospace, and AI. Local Impact: Diesel prices are pushing up costs for Canada’s lobster and seafood industries, while a Saskatchewan park secured up to $55K to repair a stretch of the Trans Canada Trail. Sports: Felix Auger-Aliassime leads Canada into Davis Cup action vs. France in Quebec City.
