Beyond the traditional backyard BBQ — how Nando's PERi-Wing Sauces are reimagining summer flavours
It's the season of backyard gatherings, long weekends and, of course, firing up the grill — a beloved ritual of flipping burgers, turning sausages and the familiar dance of condiments being passed around — ketchup, mustard, relish, mayo — all of the classics that many of us grew up with.

Trump says US hasn't reached deal with Canada ahead of tariff cutoff
Donald Trump announced that the United States lacks a trade agreement with Canada. This statement casts doubt on future negotiations. The US plans to impose a 35 percent tariff on Canadian exports if no deal is reached by August 1. Dominic LeBlanc said discussions are ongoing. Canada seeks the best possible deal. Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Just days before a critical trade deadline, President Donald Trump said on Friday(July 25) that the United States does not yet have a deal with Canada, casting doubt on the future of cross-border negotiations.'We don't have a deal with Canada,' Trump told reporters during a brief outdoor appearance at the White House. 'August 1 is going to come, and we will have most of our deals finished, if not all. We haven't really had a lot of luck with Canada. I think Canada could be one where they'll just pay tariffs. It's not really a negotiation.'Trump's comments come amid mounting uncertainty surrounding US–Canada trade talks. Negotiators from both countries have been meeting in Washington this week, hoping to resolve key sticking points before the tariff exemptions expire. If no agreement is reached by August 1, the US is set to impose a 35 percent tariff on certain Canadian exports, including copper, steel, aluminum, and automotive Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs Dominic LeBlanc , who has been leading talks with US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and a bipartisan group of senators, said Thursday that the discussions remain complex and ongoing. 'We're committed to getting the best deal possible for Canadians,' LeBlanc told reporters, adding that negotiators are prepared to go beyond the deadline if needed.'We're not going to be pressured by arbitrary dates if the outcome isn't right,' he Canada already benefits from protections under the US–Mexico–Canada Agreement (USMCA), the proposed tariffs would affect a set of products not fully covered by the contrasted the stalled Canadian talks with progress elsewhere, claiming that deals with the European Union and China are either completed or close to completion. He also celebrated a recent agreement with Australia, which reportedly loosened import restrictions on US for Canada, Trump indicated he had already sent a formal letter outlining the 35 percent tariff plan. 'When those letters go out, they're a page and a half, that means they have a deal,' Trump said. 'That is a contract, essentially.'Canadian officials, however, have not confirmed any such agreement and continue to seek exemptions or alternative terms before the deadline. The Office of the Prime Minister has declined to comment on Trump's is expected to return to Washington next week for further negotiations. Whether a deal will be struck before August 1 or whether Canada will be hit with new tariffs remains to be seen.

Is now the time to buy or sell a used car? As new sales dip, what to know
Canadians are buying fewer new cars as the economic pressure from U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs mounts. It may leave consumers wondering: should they try their luck on the used car market? Consumers in Canada spent less money in May, with retail sales in Canada falling 1.1 per cent in May to $69.2 billion, Statistics Canada said. Canada's auto industry seems to have taken the brunt of falling retail sales, with motor vehicles and parts dealers recording a drop of 3.6 per cent in retail sales in May. The integrated nature of the North American auto supply chain means tariffs also hit car prices. 'We heard stories about people going running out to the dealer to buy a car or a part for their car before those tariffs started to kick in. We really started to see that in April. So we did expect a pullback (in auto sales) as those tariffs actually came into play starting in May,' BMO economist Shelly Kaushik said. Story continues below advertisement Specifically, new car dealerships saw sales fall by 4.6 per cent. This was the first time since February that Canada saw sales at new car dealerships decline, Statistics Canada said. But as new car sales plummeted, some used car platforms and dealerships say they saw sales go up. 'We saw a massive spike in May. We saw — I think this was true for both of ourselves and for dealerships — significant demand for (used) cars in May,' said Dan Park, CEO of used car e-commerce platform Clutch. 'We were about 10 per cent up month over month, which was pretty substantial,' he said. Park said his platform expects sales to go up in the months ahead, with July on track to be a 'record' month.

Park expects demand for new cars to go down with higher prices. 'That demand will likely shift over into used cars. But as demand increases for used cars, you'll see prices go up because there's more demand for used cars with a fixed amount of supply,' he said. Many Canadians have been thinking about moving to used vehicles for the last four months, said Baris Akyurek, vice-president at Story continues below advertisement 2:01 Some small auto businesses suffering under U.S. Tariff threats In February, Autotrader conducted a survey of its customers, asking them if Trump's trade war would affect how they buy their next car. '(Forty-seven) per cent of them said that yes, it would, and within that 47 per cent, 38 per cent of them said that instead of buying a new vehicle, I would buy a used vehicle,' he said. However, used car dealers are finding that they simply don't have enough cars to satisfy customer demand. 'Since the middle of last year, the overall used car inventory has been slowly going down,' Akyurek said. Some of these production issues go back all the way to the supply chain disruptions the industry faced during the start of the pandemic, Park said. Story continues below advertisement 'From the spring of 2020 to early 2021, there was a massive production shortage. About 10 million cars in North America didn't get produced. Roll forward a couple years, there's just fewer used cars on the road and available for sale,' he said. However, one segment where prices seem to be coming down is battery electric vehicles. 'EV prices are actually doing pretty well for consumers. They have been coming down both for new and used,' Akyurek said, adding that the average price for a used battery-powered EV is just over $44,000 in the current market. There is particularly low demand for Tesla's EVs, Park said. 'Given some of the Tesla political backlash, you can find really great Tesla prices right now. If you're looking for an EV like a Tesla, now is a pretty good time to buy a (used) Tesla,' he said. 0:47 Carney meets with auto sector CEOs as concerns mount over tariff impacts While buyers of cars, both used and new, could face affordability challenges, this is a really good time for anyone looking to sell their car, Akyurek said, given the low inventory. Story continues below advertisement 'The market is hot,' he said. For a two-car household, offloading that extra car might be a good way to make a few extra bucks, Park said. 'It's a better time (to sell your car) than it was this time last year, with prices going up right now. It means that the value of your car hasn't gone down as much. So it's not a terrible time to come to sell your car,' he said.

Opinion: Visitors to Jasper can be part of renewal in real time
Article content When the 2024 forest fires reached the town of Jasper, almost exactly a year ago, the impacts were felt deeply. Not just across the landscape, but in the lives of the community members and Canadians across the country. Article content What made these fires different from others in the area was that they reached the townsite, directly impacting homes, businesses, and critical infrastructure. For many community members, the loss was total. Article content Article content Article content I remember the anxiety that came with it, not just from the fires, but from the weight of the unknown. Like so many others, I was worried for our team and the people who make this town feel like home. We didn't know what the next day would bring, but what I saw was neighbours checking in on each other, businesses stepping up, and a community choosing to show up through the uncertainty. Article content Article content Forest fires are a natural part of ecological cycles, necessary for instigating regeneration — a process that Indigenous peoples have long used through prescribed burns. This fire wasn't planned, nor welcome, but it sparked reflection. While the impact was significant, it also revealed something unexpected: a new lens through which to experience Jasper. Article content Jasper is a tourism town. The economy is built by people who care deeply about where they live and what they do. It's the guides, the small business owners, the chefs, the hotel staff — folks who have built a life here sharing the beauty of this place with the world. When the fires passed and recovery efforts began, local leaders, non-profit organizations, and businesses came together to ask: How can we ensure that Jasper doesn't just rebuild, but thrives long into the future? Article content Article content That question sparked the launch of the Jasper Tourism Recovery and Prosperity Fund, a three-year, $5.5-million commitment to support both the immediate needs and long-term community well-being. Pursuit, Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge, Rocky Mountaineer, Jasper Brewing Co. and Maligne Range Distilling came together to establish this fund, driven by a love for this place and united through tourism. It is independently managed by the Jasper Community Team Society to ensure resources go where they are needed most. Article content It was a meaningful step, but for me, it was also personal. As a fellow mountain town resident and part of the broader tourism industry, I saw firsthand the importance of a community-led approach. Article content In times of crisis, it's easy for businesses to speak. But leadership begins with listening and acting with humility and care. These aren't transactional relationships. They are the ones built over time and ultimately strengthened in moments like these.
