PowerCo awards 2 major contracts ahead of St. Thomas gigafactory groundbreaking
Canada's largest EV battery gigafactory is one step closer to becoming a reality in St. Thomas. On Thursday, the Volkswagen subsidiary PowerCo Canada announced it had awarded two major construction contracts for the project ahead of initial construction, which is set to begin at the site in the next several weeks. The contracts, awarded to Steelcon Group of Companies and Magil Construction Canada Inc., are for structural steel and foundation work for the plant's first cell production building and critical works, PowerCo said. When fully operational, the facility is expected to span up to 185,000 square metres, employ roughly 3,000 people, and spur as many as 30,000 indirect jobs. Initial production is expected to begin in 2027. In a statement, PowerCo SE's CEO, Frank Blome, said the awarding of the two contracts propelled the multi-billion-dollar gigafactory into its next phase. "The St. Thomas gigafactory is a cornerstone in our ambition to build a global cell company with strong roots in Europe and North America, safeguarding direct access to one of the key technologies of the 21st century," he said. "By leveraging innovative and skilled local expertise, St. Thomas will strengthen Canada's position in the global EV battery manufacturing industry." The announcement comes amid uncertainty for the auto sector and the EV marketplace, driven by auto-related U.S. tariffs and the discontinuation of federal EV incentives in the U.S. Federal incentives in Canada ran out of funding early this year, but Ottawa has said it plans to bring back a consumer EV incentive in the future. On Thursday, Ontario's financial watchdog blamed U.S. tariffs as being partly responsible for the province shedding 38,000 jobs in the second quarter of 2025. Nearly 30,000 were in the manufacturing sector. Both contracts will see hundreds of construction jobs created, with Steelcon using a team of more than 500, including those from the local area. Magil will build the foundations for three buildings spanning nearly 79,000 square metres, PowerCo said. Earlier this month, PowerCo launched a hiring blitz aimed at filling hundreds of positions at the factory, including chemists, IT professionals, and engineers. PowerCo is pouring $7 billion into the gigafactory, which will have an annual production capacity of up to 90 GWh, and be the German automaker's first EV battery plant in North America. Batteries produced in St. Thomas will go to vehicle assembly plants in the U.S.

Saskatchewan premier calls on Prime Minister Carney to meet with China's Xi on canola
Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe said Thursday that he wants Prime Minister Mark Carney to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping to resolve the trade issues that have led to steep tariffs on Canadian canola products. "It isn't going to be Premier Moe and President Xi that stand up and say, 'We've come to a trade deal here and everything is good moving forward,'" he said. Moe said he will be in China in the next couple of weeks to engage with officials there, but he believes Carney and Xi are the only two people who can ultimately resolve the trade dispute. "There will be opportunities for the president and the prime minister to meet, I think, when you look at the global calendar of events," he told reporters after a meeting with industry groups and federal government representatives in Saskatoon. Federal Agriculture Minister Heath MacDonald joined the meeting virtually, along with Buckley Belanger, Saskatchewan's representative in cabinet. Moe said MacDonald was planning to be in Saskatoon but was not able to get there because of airline disruptions. Both Carney and Xi are expected to be at the G20 meetings in South Africa in November. The Asia-Pacific Economic Co-operation leaders' forum is also being held in South Korea the same month. Moe said Thursday's meeting, which included canola producers and exporters, also included discussions about the challenges with Canada's top export market for canola, the U.S. Moe said he will be in China in the next couple of weeks to engage with officials there, but he believes Carney and Xi are the only two people who can ultimately resolve the trade dispute. China imposed a tariff of nearly 76 per cent on canola seed last week, causing the price of one of Canada's most valuable crops to fall and wiping out millions of dollars in its value. It comes one year after China launched an anti-dumping investigation into Canadian canola, a move in response to Canada's 100 per cent tariff on Chinese electric vehicles, batteries and other products. In response to the Canadian tariffs China has also imposed a 100 per cent tariff on Canadian canola meal and oil. Kody Blois, Carney's parliamentary secretary, said the prime minister plans to be in Western Canada in the coming weeks, "convening stakeholders and the Western premiers about what we can do to support the industry moving forward." "There are a number of options on the table that we could take in the short term to help support the industry from a regulatory side, things that industry has been calling for, whether at the producer level or the processor level," he said. While canola futures are up, Blois said, "there's a lot of uncertainty." Blois said a Joint Economic and Trade Commission meeting is set for next week. That meeting was the result of Carney's bilateral discussion in June with Chinese Premier Li Qiang. "This is an opportunity for Canadian authorities and Chinese authorities to engage on what we see as differences around trade," Blois said. Canada exports nearly $15 billion of canola seed, oil and meal per year, and nearly $5 billion of that went to China in 2024. SaskOilseeds chair Dean Roberts, who was at the Thursday meeting, said farmers are being "used as a pawn in the current geo-political environment." He joined Moe's call for urgent federal action. "Unprecedented market closure amidst an already stressful time of year has a compounding adverse effect on farmers," he said in a statement released by Moe's office.

Rising concerns over U.S. move to broaden products subject to metal tariffs
TORONTO — There's growing concern about a move by the United States to make hundreds more product categories subject to the country's 50 per cent tariffs on steel and aluminum content. The addition of 407 categories, ranging from bulldozers to furniture, came into effect earlier this week to add pressure and costs to those hoping to sell into the U.S. market. ADVERTISEMENT Catherine Cobden, head of the Canadian Steel Producers Association says the move is another blow to the integrated Canada-U.S. economy and will impact the manufacturing of steel-containing products in Canada destined for the United States. She says products like cutlery, propane tanks, air conditioners, agricultural equipment like tractors and many more now face the additional tariffs on their metal content. Cobden says in the statement issued Thursday that Canada should retaliate with a 50 per cent tariff on all U.S. steel entering Canada, including ending an 'ill-advised' April reprieve on U.S. steel used in manufacturing and processing. On Wednesday, Hamilton, Ont., mayor Andrea Horwath said Trump's latest 'underhanded move to quietly expand U.S. tariffs' is devastating for the city, adding she's reached out to both the provincial and federal governments to push them to act.
