AGP Executive Report
Last update: 6 hours agoU.S.-Canada Trade War: The White House moved to ban specific Canadian dairy products, most alcoholic beverages and motorcycles starting Sept. 29, while also tightening U.S. federal procurement rules that exclude Canadian goods from major contracts—another escalation after Canada’s dollar-for-dollar retaliatory tariffs on about $20B (C$27.6B) of U.S. imports. Deal Hopes: Trump said a Canada deal could come “fairly soon,” but kept blaming Ottawa for unfair treatment of U.S. farmers, as Carney’s team continues studying next steps. Consumer Impact in Canada: A “Buy Canadian” push is reshaping supermarket shelves, with grocers improving country-of-origin labels and shifting sourcing (including Quebec strawberries) as shoppers boycott U.S. products. Retail Pricing Watch: Apple’s Canadian iPhone 18 Pro and accessories pricing sits just past round-number thresholds, keeping pressure on the idea that Canada pays more. Local Business Upside: Some Canadian manufacturers say the backlash is helping sales, even as the broader tariff fight threatens cross-border supply chains. Policy/Finance Tech: OSFI clarified tokenized deposits are legally the same as traditional deposits, easing a regulatory hurdle for banks.
