Shows from Elliot Page, Tom Green coming to Bell, while drama Bad Trips scrapped
New shows from Elliot Page and Tom Green are among the highlights of Bell Media's 2025-26 programming slate. Slo Pitch, a comedy about a scrappy queer softball team trying to make it to the beer league championships, is coming to Crave and CTV. It's the first project under a co-development deal between Pageboy Productions and Bell Media. Also in the lineup is Tom Green's Funny Farm, an interview series featuring the Ottawa-born comedian hosting guests at his rural Ontario property. Coming to CTV is Match Game, a revival of the American game show hosted by Martin Short and filming in Montreal this summer. Bell Media says Sullivan's Crossing's producer's expulsion from Writers Guild of America will not affect CTV romance series CBC shows off circus tricks and rescue pups, but no new dramas or comedies at 2025-26 upfront Heated Rivalry, a six-episode series based on the bestselling gay hockey romance novel by Nova Scotia author Rachel Reid, is also coming to Crave. The streamer will also be home to Letterkenny creator Jared Keeso's still-untitled new series, which starts production in the fall and is set to première next year. A Bell spokesperson said Bad Trips, Sasha Leigh Henry's limited drug-trafficking drama announced for Crave last year, will not move forward due to international financing for the project not lining up. Bell cancelled Henry's Canadian Screen Award-winning comedy Bria Mack Gets a Life after one season last year. Returning Crave series include Late Bloomer, Super Team Canada, The Trades and The Office Movers, while Sullivan's Crossing, The Traitors Canada and The Amazing Race Canada come back to CTV.

Canada posts April trade deficit of $7.1-billion, the largest on record
Canada's trade deficit in April widened to an all-time high of a whopping $7.1 billion, data showed on Thursday, as tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump sucked out demand for Canadian goods from the United States. Its exports to the rest of the world rose, but could not compensate for the drop in exports to the U.S., data from Statistics Canada showed. Exports to the U.S. shrank by 15.7 per cent, a third consecutive monthly decline, Statscan said, adding that exports south of the border have fallen by over 26 per cent since the peak seen in January. Carney faces pressure to retaliate against Trump's steel, aluminum tariffs Analysis: Tariffs distract from the real financial war – one that Canada is losing badly Analysts polled by Reuters had expected the trade deficit to widen to $1.5-billion for April. Statistics Canada also made a big revision to the trade deficit recorded in March to $2.3-billion from $506-million. Canada shipped 76 per cent of its total exports to the U.S. last year and the trade between the two countries exceeded a trillion Canadian dollars for a third consecutive year in 2024. But a barrage of tariffs from Trump on Canada and its $90-billion worth of retaliatory tariffs on U.S. imports have started disrupting trade between the two. Total exports in April plunged by 10.8 per cent to $60.4-billion, the lowest level seen in almost two years, Statscan said. This was the third consecutive monthly decline and the strongest percentage decrease in five years, it said. While exports to the U.S. led the drop, lower crude oil prices and a stronger Canadian dollar also contributed. The Canadian dollar was trading up 0.17 per cent to 1.3651 to the U.S. dollar, or 73.25 U.S. cents. Yields on the two-year government bonds were down 0.4 basis points to 2.613 per cent. Exports to the rest of the world were up 2.9 per cent and in volume terms total exports registered a big decline of 9.1 per cent in April. From investing to real estate, here's how you can Trump-proof your wallet The biggest drop in exports came from motor vehicles and parts which lost 17.4 per cent of trade in April from March and was almost entirely attributable to exports of passenger cars and light trucks, which fell 22.9 per cent in April, Statscan said. Imports were down 3.5 per cent in April to $67.58-billion, but were partly offset by imports of unwrought gold. Due to the sharp decline in exports to the U.S., Canada's merchandise trade surplus with the United States narrowed to $3.6-billion, the smallest surplus since December 2020, the statistics agency said. The deficit with rest of the world marginally increased to $10.7-billion in April from $9-billion in March.
