"The Cambium team perfectly complements and scales our Ontario operations, allowing us to enter new local markets while strengthening our technical and leadership teams in other areas," said Mike Cormier, President, Englobe Corp. "In welcoming Cambium to Englobe, we're opening new growth opportunities for our team, enhancing our service capabilities for clients, and positioning ourselves to continuing growing our reach in Ontario and beyond."
Moving forward, Cambium will operate as a separate division within Englobe, with its current leadership continuing to support the organization as they always have.
"This new partnership opens the door to an incredible variety of exciting collaborative opportunities with our new colleagues," said John Desbiens, President and CEO, Cambium. "The Englobe team's genuine care, client-focused approach, and proximity model align very well with our own values. Given this exceptional fit, I am very excited for us to join the Englobe family."
The Cambium transaction marks Englobe's third acquisition of 2025 and reaffirms the company's steadfast vision of serving and supporting more communities in more locations with more services. This thoughtful growth philosophy is founded on partnerships with like-minded companies and underscores Englobe's commitment to building on its 60+ years of experience in Canada.

Apparel brand Oak + Fort to restructure amid tariff woes

VANCOUVER – Canadian apparel brand Oak + Fort says it has obtained creditor protection as it works to restructure the business. The Vancouver-based company says the move is necessary because U.S. tariffs have joined other price pressures and led to a decline in consumer confidence and spending. The tariffs arrived after Oak + Fort pushed to open 26 new Canadian and U.S. stores in the last four years, which the company says resulted in a reduced and ultimately insufficient investment in its e-commerce platforms. Court documents show the company owes more than $25 million to creditors including some landlords who didn't receive May rent payments. Oak + Fort says it will continue to operate stores and an e-commerce business during the restructuring. The retailer has hired Reflect Advisors LLC to assist with the restructuring. Monday Mornings The latest local business news and a lookahead to the coming week. Oak + Fort was founded in 2010 as an online boutique that eventually expanded to 42 stores in Canada and the U.S. selling womenswear, menswear, accessories, jewelry and home goods. This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 7, 2025.

That's the highest it has been since September 2016, excluding the 2020 and 2021 pandemic years, and a 12.9% increase from 6.2% a year ago in May. The Canadian economy generated a net increase of just 8,800 jobs in May, far short of the roughly 30,000 per month needed to keep pace with population growth. A total of 1.6 million Canadians were unemployed in May, an increase of 191,000, or 13.8%, compared to May 2024. A smaller share of people who were unemployed in April found jobs in May (22.6%), compared to a year ago (24.0%), and spent an average of 21.8 weeks searching for work, compared to 18.4 weeks in May 2024. Unemployment in Ontario (7.9%); Alberta (7.4%); Newfoundland and Labrador (9.7%); Prince Edward Island (8.2%); and Nunavut (9.0%) were all above the national average, as was the case in a number of cities, including Windsor (10.8%); Oshawa (9.1%); Toronto (8.8%); Calgary (7.8%); and Edmonton (7.3%).

Canada recorded its largest merchandise trade deficit of $7.1 billion in April, the first full month of the tariff war with U.S. President Donald Trump, compared to $2.3 billion in March. The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development last week projected meagre 1% economic growth for Canada this year and 1.1% in 2026, noting Trump's global tariff war is expected to hit the economies of Canada, Mexico, China and the U.S. hardest. Prime Minister Mark Carney proposed measures to bolster the economy on Friday, including eliminating federal barriers to interprovincial trade, increasing labour mobility and shortening the process for approving major infrastructure projects. Those are worthy long-term goals, since internal impediments to trade cost our economy $200 billion annually, raise consumer prices up to 14.5% and reduce economic growth as measured by gross domestic product up to 8% annually. But they are also long-term solutions, underscoring the importance of Carney's government producing a budget as soon as possible to reveal the Liberals' specific plans to boost the economy. For better or worse, Carney decided to delay releasing the budget until fall. Olympics Columnists World Editorial Cartoons NHL

Alberta buying U.S. alcohol again, months after pause meant to fight tariffs

See more sharing options Send this page to someone via email Share this item on Twitter Share this item via WhatsApp Share this item on Facebook Alberta is buying American alcohol and gambling machines again, three months after Premier Danielle Smith announced restrictions aimed at fighting back against U.S. tariffs. Service Alberta Minister Dale Nally said Friday that the move signals a 'renewed commitment to open and fair trade' with the United States. Smith said in March that the province would no longer buy U.S. alcohol and video lottery terminals, or sign contracts with American companies. Alberta's liquor stores are privately owned but must order stock through the provincial government. That came a day after U.S. President Donald Trump slapped heavy tariffs on Canadian goods and energy. 2:34 Alberta bans future US liquor purchases Other premiers also announced bans on U.S. liquor along with other proposed penalties. Story continues below advertisement Nally said in a statement that the decision to resume buying U.S. alcohol and gambling machines 'sets the stage for more constructive negotiations' ahead of a renewal of the Canada-U.S.-Mexico trade agreement.

'Prime Minister Mark Carney has made a clear effort to reset the relationship with the U.S. administration, and Alberta's government supports this approach,' Nally said. 'We are focused on highlighting Alberta's role as a responsible and collaborative trading partner and will continue working alongside other provinces to advocate for a tariff-free relationship.' The minister said Albertans are encouraged to continue supporting local producers, even as more U.S. options return to store shelves. In April, the province paused its policy around procurement from U.S. companies in what Nally called 'the spirit of diplomacy.'
