CANADA: Politics Week: Trudeau Grapples With Trump Tariffs And Fiscal Update

CANADA
CanadaNorth AmericaBulletGlobalFixed Income BulletsForeign Exchange BulletsRegionMarkets
  • PM Justin Trudeau continues to see if he can convince Donald Trump to water down or cancel a 25% tariff, while struggling to win a unified position from provincial and opposition leaders on how to proceed.
  • Conservatives poised to bring non-confidence motions this week against Trudeau's Liberals, asking the NDP to agree to a statement that reflects its past criticism of the government. Motions are unlikely to pass because NDP says it won't play Conservative political "games."
  • Finance Minister Freeland will present a fiscal update sometime this month, as budget office says CAD40b deficit anchor is being broken.
  • Liberals have been unable to advance most legislation for weeks as Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives use what the government calls a filibuster around documents it’s been asked to turn over.
  • Polling aggregator 338Canada shows Conservatives likely to win majority government if election were held now.
  • Sample headlines: A Trudeau government trademark: Act now, mop up later (Globe and Mail); Justin Trudeau’s ‘carbon tax’ is ‘wrong,’ Ontario Liberal Leader Bonnie Crombie says (Toronto Star); Chrystia Freeland answered Senate questions on the GST break. It did not go well (Globe).
