American Tariffs Are Hitting Canada *Hard* — So Here Are 33 More Canadian Products That Beat Their American Equivalents By A Landslide
A few days ago, I shared a list of Canadian brands that people swear are better than American ones. And TONS of Canadians left more wonderful suggestions in the comments! So without further ado, here are even more Canadian brands that put American ones to shame:
1. " Province of Canada is an apparel company owned and operated in Toronto. 100% of their products are manufactured within Canada. The brand emphasizes the importance of local manufacturing, pride in supporting Canadian and a sustainable mission to use as much natural materials in the slow fashion process."
"They also have a one-for-one sock program, where they donate a pair of socks to shelters for every pair sold."
— minimagazine40
3. "American here who loves Canada. Adding Kozlik's Canadian Mustard! Lots of variety, and Canada is one of, if not the, largest mustard seed producers in the world."
"Their old smoky mustard is a game-changer!"
— sharpglue71
4. " Caprina soaps. The best goat milk soaps around!"
— maskedarcher406

9. " La Cocina tortilla chips are made in Manitoba and are superior."
"Like, by far. Truly."
— analeehope
"I made the switch recently, and the quality is unreal. They are vastly superior. Recommended them to a co-worker and she loved them too. Plus, same price point as American brands (at least where I get them)."
— shaeshae87
10. " Co-op gas (officially called Federated Co-operatives Limited)! The lesser of evils by a long shot!"

"A testament to the 'circular' argument."
— npsych90
27. " Anne Mulaire! They make the best, super-soft clothing for feminine bodies. It's all sewn right in Winnipeg by people who are treated and paid well. It's expensive, but high quality, and she's very committed to pockets. I rarely wear any other pants these days."
"It's also work-appropriate, which can be hard to find in slow fashion!
Oh, and despite being bamboo, the fabric is all manufactured in a closed-loop system. They'll also customize items to your specifications (and they do repairs very affordably!)"

TSX futures slip as investors await tariff deadline, trade updates
(Reuters) -Futures tied to Canada's main stock index slipped on Friday, mirroring global markets, as investors awaited trade developments ahead of President Donald Trump's tariff deadline next week. Futures on the S&P/TSX index were down 0.2% at 1,625.4 points by 06:55 a.m. ET (1055 GMT). Canada' main stock index edged lower on Thursday but was holding close to a record high. Global equities fell on Friday as investors booked profits ahead of a critical week that includes the August 1 tariff deadline. Markets are watching closely, hoping the United States will hold off on imposing steep import levies. This week, sentiment was buoyed by U.S. trade agreements with Japan, Indonesia, and the Philippines. Meanwhile, negotiations continue with the European Union and South Korea, where hopes for additional deals remain. In commodities, gold prices slipped and copper eased, and oil prices were stable on Friday. Looking ahead, investor focus will shift to several key events next week, including policy decisions from the Bank of Canada and the U.S. Federal Reserve, as well as earnings reports from several of the so-called 'Magnificent Seven' tech companies.

The 3.6% return this week takes Trip.com Group's (NASDAQ:TCOM) shareholders three-year gains to 148%
It might seem bad, but the worst that can happen when you buy a stock (without leverage) is that its share price goes to zero. But if you buy shares in a really great company, you can more than double your money. For example, the Group Limited (NASDAQ:TCOM) share price has soared 147% in the last three years. How nice for those who held the stock! Also pleasing for shareholders was the 12% gain in the last three months. But this move may well have been assisted by the reasonably buoyant market (up 16% in 90 days). Since it's been a strong week for Group shareholders, let's have a look at trend of the longer term fundamentals. We've found 21 US stocks that are forecast to pay a dividend yield of over 6% next year. See the full list for free. To paraphrase Benjamin Graham: Over the short term the market is a voting machine, but over the long term it's a weighing machine. One way to examine how market sentiment has changed over time is to look at the interaction between a company's share price and its earnings per share (EPS). During three years of share price growth, Group moved from a loss to profitability. That kind of transition can be an inflection point that justifies a strong share price gain, just as we have seen here. The company's earnings per share (over time) is depicted in the image below (click to see the exact numbers). We know that Group has improved its bottom line over the last three years, but what does the future have in store? It might be well worthwhile taking a look at our free report on how its financial position has changed over time. A Different Perspective We're pleased to report that Group shareholders have received a total shareholder return of 49% over one year. That's including the dividend. Since the one-year TSR is better than the five-year TSR (the latter coming in at 19% per year), it would seem that the stock's performance has improved in recent times. In the best case scenario, this may hint at some real business momentum, implying that now could be a great time to delve deeper. Before forming an opinion on Group you might want to consider these 3 valuation metrics. If you like to buy stocks alongside management, then you might just love this free list of companies. (Hint: many of them are unnoticed AND have attractive valuation).

Tight security as Trump heads to Scotland for diplomacy and golf
US President Donald Trump was due to arrive in Scotland on Friday for a mix of diplomacy, business and leisure, with a huge security operation swinging into place and protests planned near his family-owned golf resorts. The president, whose mother was born in Scotland, is expected to split his time between two seaside golf courses bearing his name, in southwestern coastal Turnberry and Aberdeen in the northeast. Air Force One carrying the president and White House staff was due to arrive around at 8:20 pm local time (1920 GMT) and Trump has no public events scheduled for Saturday or Sunday, the White House said. Police Scotland, who are bracing for mass protests in Edinburgh and Aberdeen as well as close to his golf courses, said there will be a "significant operation across the country over many days". An avid golfer, Trump is expected to tear himself away from the greens to meet with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer at some point, but details of that meeting have not been released. Starmer is not reputed to be as passionate about golf as the 79-year-old Republican, and may have other concerns to tee off on. The US and the UK announced a trade agreement in May, but London is worried about Trump's stated intention to "refine" the deal. The British leader, who has dodged the exorbitant import/export tariffs other countries have been saddled with, will aim to stay in the good graces of the unpredictable American leader. The international outcry over the conflict in Gaza may also be on the agenda, amid growing pressure on Starmer to follow French President Emmanuel Macron and announce the UK will also recognise a State of Palestine. - Protests - Trump is expected to return to the UK in September for a state visit -- his second -- at the invitation of King Charles III, which promises to be lavish. During a 2023 visit, Trump said he felt at home in Scotland, where his mother Mary Anne MacLeod grew up on the remote Isle of Lewis before emigrating to the United States at age 18. The affection is not necessarily mutual in Scotland. Residents, environmentalists and elected officials have also voiced discontent over the Trump family's construction of a new golf course, which he is expected to open before he heads back to the UK on Tuesday. Scotland's leader, First Minister John Swinney, said the country "shares a strong friendship with the United States that goes back centuries". He said he would meet with Trump during the visit and said the US leader's trip provided Scotland with a "platform to make its voice heard on the issues that matter, including war and peace, justice and democracy". Trump has also stepped into the sensitive debate in the UK about green energy and reaching net zero, with Aberdeen being the heart of Scotland's oil industry. He said the UK should "stop with the costly and unsightly windmills, and incentivise modernised drilling in the North Sea, where large amounts of oil lay waiting to be taken". "A century of drilling left, with Aberdeen as the hub," the president wrote on his Truth Social platform about Europe's oil and gas hub. - US discontent - The trip to Scotland puts physical distance between Trump and the latest twists in the case of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, the wealthy financier accused of sex trafficking who died in prison in 2019 before facing trial. In his heyday, Epstein was friends with Trump and others in the New York jet-set, but the president is now facing backlash from his own MAGA supporters who demand access to the Epstein case files. Many support a conspiracy theory under which "deep state" elites protected rich and famous people who took part in an Epstein sex ring. But Trump is urging his supporters to move on and drop the case. The Wall Street Journal, which published an article detailing longstanding links between Trump and the sex offender, is being punished by the White House. Its reporting staff plans to travel to Scotland on its own and join the White House press pool. But it has now been denied a seat on Air Force One for the flight back home. While Trump's family has undertaken many development projects worldwide, the president no longer legally controls the family holdings. But opponents and watchdog groups have accused him of many conflicts of interest and using his position as US president to promote private family investments, especially abroad. The American NGO Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington said in May that 21 development projects were already underway abroad during Trump's second term. aue-jkb/jj/yad Solve the daily Crossword
