Canada-US Trade Talks Collapse | Calgary News

Canada-US trade talks have collapsed, triggering a 50% tariff on $28 billion in Canadian goods — a dispute that’s simmered for nearly two years. Prime Minister Carney blamed last-minute U.S. changes, while the Calgary Chamber of Commerce urges Ottawa to rally support for small businesses with short-term relief and domestic trade initiatives. Nearly 100,000 workers face fallout as prices rise, and Alberta’s Premier Smith warns trade wars hurt everyone — though she applauds federal promises to aid affected firms. Amid the tension, Canada’s strong global trade network still covers 60% of its GDP, offering hope as leaders push for unity at home and new markets abroad.
