Daniel Gobeil, ancien président des Producteurs de lait du Québec, deviendra député libéral de la circonscription Chicoutimi—Le Fjord.
Il est arrivé en tête hier devant ses adversaires du Bloc québécois et du Parti conservateur.
Après les trois élections partielles qui se déroulaient hier, le gouvernement fédéral devra bientôt en organiser six autres à la suite du départ de députés, dont trois au Québec:
Steven Guilbeault a officiellement démissionné vendredi de son siège de député de Laurier – Sainte-Marie, à Montréal.
Alexandre Boulerice, député du NPD, se présente aux élections provinciales au Québec pour Québec solidaire à Montréal.
Simon-Pierre Savard-Tremblay, député du Bloc québécois, se présente aux élections provinciales pour le Parti québécois en Montérégie.
Officials first thought it was just an A.I. ruse, until they checked satellite images of northern British Columbia. The mystery deepened, and on Monday the island was located.
At gathering of G20 finance ministers, the Treasury secretary accused Canada’s prime minister of starting a “political shouting match” over U.S. trade policies.
The newly opened Gordie Howe International Bridge, linking Detroit and Windsor, Ontario, last month. Both the United States and Canada have announced high tariffs on each other’s products.
We’re watching today as Scott Bessent, the US treasury secretary, and Kevin Warsh, the chair of the Federal Reserve, deliver their opening remarks at the G20 meetings in Asheville, North Carolina.
US trade representative Jamieson Greer has a level-headed reputation but commerce secretary Howard Lutnick and White House adviser Peter Navarro also have key roles
Having reportedly read Victor Hugo’s Les Misérables, in French, during a military tour of duty in Iraq, Jamieson Greer considered himself an unlikely target for accusations of francophobia.
But Donald Trump’s US trade representative, hitherto one of the president’s less high-profile cabinet members, found himself in that uncomfortable position amid the acrimonious collapse of bilateral trade talks with Canada that now threatens to degenerate into an all-out trade war between the two close trading partners whose economies are tightly intertwined.
Meanwhile, Trump posts video of himself kicking over a Lake Ontario sign and replacing it with Lake America sign
Donald Trump and Canada continued a verbal duel on Saturday over the US government’s administrative renaming of Lake Ontario, with the Ontario premier erecting a giant sign saying “Lake Ontario. Now and Always” – and the American president posting a video of him tearing down an avatar of that sign, erecting a replacement saying Lake America, and dancing to YMCA.
Rhetoric over the naming of Lake Ontario is the public face of an escalating trade dispute between the US and its northern neighbor involving a 50% US tariff on Canadian steel and retaliatory tariffs from Ottawa.
The Canadian province's premier, Doug Ford, installed a billboard-sized sign on the lake's shoreline after the US president signed an executive order on Thursday directing US federal agencies to change the lake's name on US maps, documents and databases to 'Lake America'. Ford told reporters that the lake's name, which is more than 400 years old, would remain unchanged. Trade talks between the US and Canada collapsed last week, with each side blaming the other for derailing three days of intensive negotiations
There’s little optimism about treasury secretary’s ability to handle Trump’s tariffs, Iran sanctions and colossal US debt
History remembers Gen Dwight Eisenhower, the supreme commander of the allied forces in Europe during the second world war, for his role in the D-day invasion of Normandy. Whether Scott Bessent will achieve similar posterity as the face of the “economic D-day” in Iran remains to be seen.
The US treasury secretary, already trying to manage a $40tn national debt pile, this week took charge of Donald Trump’s effort to reverse-engineer his war of choice. Whereas the US would typically take on an adversary with diplomacy, sanctions and military force, in that order, the US president started with a six-month bombing campaign and now hopes that economic isolation can finish the job.
Ignore Iran, the Epstein files, and your wallet – not to mention Trump’s plummeting approval ratings
Don’t mention the war! Or the economy, for that matter. Or the Epstein files. Or Natalie Harp. Or “affordability”, which, as Donald Trump recently said at a rally, is a word that was “never used” by the media before he took office. Best not to talk about anything that affects ordinary people or embarrasses the president, really. Instead, let’s all rejoice in Trump’s latest triumph: renaming Lake Ontario, which is shared by Canada and the US, as Lake America.
On Thursday, Trump signed an executive order directing federal agencies to America-fy the lake’s name on US maps and documents, which is an excellent use of time and resources. I suppose we can at least be thankful that the president, who is trying to slap his own name on everything from airports to the Kennedy Center, didn’t decree that the body of water be called Lake Trump.
Avoiding US goods and services – from tech to whisky to air travel – has forced many to find a new way of living
For William McDonald, 38, a diesel mechanic from Thunder Bay, Ontario, “Canadian is always the first choice,” even if it means his weekly bills are higher.
“As soon as Trump started putting those tariffs on in February [last year], I started boycotting US goods,” he said. “Avoiding American products has driven my costs up, and I’m still happy to do it.
The U.S.-Canada trade war has galvanized Canadians behind their prime minister’s decision to walk away from negotiations. What happens when the time comes for talks to restart?
Terrified of being seen as a loser, Donald Trump is nonsensically lashing out – even against our old friend Canada
I’m still grieving Dolly Parton. I never met her and always wanted to. She was almost exactly my age and my height and had values I deeply admired. Her death leaves a hole in the firmament.
Which brings me to the person whose values are as far from Dolly Parton’s as any human could possibly be and still claim to be human. I’m referring, of course, to the current occupant of the Oval Office.
Unpopular new policy comes as midterms loom and control of Congress could be decided by several Michigan races
Every day $1bn worth of goods crosses the river dividing Detroit, Michigan, and Windsor, Ontario, two largely blue-collar US and Canadian cities that have come to act as one in the creation of North America’s auto industry.
News this week of Donald Trump’s escalating trade spat with Canada has everyone worried. Political and economic leaders and observers labeled the move an act of “hubris” , blamed Trump’s “ego”, and called the escalation “insanity”.
Mark Carney avait expliqué la semaine dernière que plusieurs raisons l’avaient poussé à suspendre les négociations commerciales avec les États-Unis.
Parmi ces raisons, Carney a cité la volonté de Washington d’exempter les entreprises américaines des règles sur l’étiquetage bilingue et l’affichage en français.
Donald Trump et plusieurs membres de son gouvernement ont soutenu depuis qu’ils n’avaient jamais fait une telle demande.
Howard Lutnick, ministre américain du commerce, a même laissé entendre hier que le gouvernement canadien aurait suspendu les négociations pour nuire au Parti québécois et à son projet d’indépendance, à l’approche des élections québécoises.
Joanna Thompson, ministre fédérale des pêches, a indiqué que les produits du secteur des fruits de mer et du poisson seraient retirés de la liste de contre-tarifs canadiens qui doivent entrer en vigueur le 8 septembre.
Thompson a assuré que la riposte fédérale resterait toutefois «équivalente au dollar près et au taux près» aux droits de douane américains.
Un porte-parole du gouvernement fédéral a dit à Bloomberg que les droits de douane sur les produits de la mer seraient remplacés par des tarifs de 50% sur le cuivre et le charbon de bois américains.
There is a U.S.-led war in the Middle East and the midterm elections on the horizon, but President Trump’s latest priority seems to be “Making The Great Lakes Even Greater.”
Two cars were destroyed at the Toronto home of Salma Zahid, a Liberal member of Parliament, in an overnight episode condemned by Prime Minister Mark Carney.
Salma Zahid, who represents the Scarborough Centre-Don Valley East federal electoral district in the province of Ontario, said though vehicles were destroyed, she and her family were safe.
Donald Trump signed an executive order on Thursday directing the federal government to rename Lake Ontario, making it Lake America, amid his escalating trade war with Canada.
The order directs federal agencies to adopt the name-change on US maps, documents and databases. But Trump has no authority to rename Canada’s portion of the lake, nor to compel Canada, international legal bodies, international mapmakers, or the rest of the world to adopt a new name.
Canada’s minister in charge of trade with the U.S. was responding to comments by Jamieson Greer, the U.S. trade representative. But that was before any mention of Lake Ontario.
A year into a government review of the purchase of as many as 88 F-35s, one premier says buying American warplanes makes no sense in the face of President Trump’s latest tariffs.
The F-35 Lightning, made by American defense contractor Lockheed-Martin, costs between $82.5 million and $109 million per plane, depending on the variant.
