Yahoo polls: How are Canadians responding to the latest U.S. Trump tariffs on the country?
Have your say: In this Yahoo News Canada poll, we ask Canadians to share how the Trump tariffs are shaping their travel and shopping choices This summer, Canadians find themselves grappling with a bit more than just the end-of-season and back-to-school rush. As trade discord with the U.S. continues to dominate headlines, changes in household habits abound. Escalating tensions over Trump tariffs have resulted in a surge of cultural and economic responses including impacts on travel, shopping and Labour Day long weekend plans. Yahoo News Canada wants to hear from you! How is the moment weighing on your pride and prudence? Are you boycotting U.S. products in favour of local businesses? We want you to have your say. Are you planning any U.S. travel this month? Canadian travel to the U.S. has seen a decline owing to the political tensions between the two nations, with trips plummeting dramatically and flight bookings cut significantly. Instead of flying down south, Canadians are picking Europe, Latin America or even opting for Canadian locales for their getaways. Flight bookings to Europe recently witnessed a surge while travel the U.S. continued to lag. Are you opting for products made in Canada over imported goods? Surveys from the last few months reveal Canadian attitudes toward the U.S. have only soured over time as Trump intensified his tariff attacks on Canada. By February 2025, approximately two-thirds of Canadians had reduced their purchases of American products, both in stores and online, according to a Leger poll. More than halfway through the year, that trend has only grown among Canadians, according to a July Ipsos poll. However, affordability continues to matter to Canadian shoppers looking to buy local goods. A recent report from PwC Canada found that while Canadian consumers are willing to pay a premium for locally produced food, a majority would ultimately choose a lower-priced imported product over a more expensive domestic equivalent. Canada and U.S. trade tariff jabs U.S. President Donald Trump's recent round of tariff increase saw Canada's share escalate to 35 per cent on various goods from Aug. 1. This came after Trump sharply raised tariffs on Canadian exports in the spring of 2025 — imposing 25 per cent duties on steel, aluminium and auto parts before slapping another increase in summer. Canada continues to have its retaliatory tariffs on $30 billion worth of U.S. goods in place to defend its industries. Regardless of the ongoing friction, the USMCA continues to shield most of the Canadian exports from tariffs, Prime Minister Mark Carney's says. Damage from the trade standoff was strongly felt across Canada's manufacturing sector with the jobs market shedding 41,000 positions in July and analysts calling for an additional 10,000 jobs last month.

State Street Seizes Back $317B ETF Empire After 26 Years--Here's Why It Matters Now
State Street Corp. (NYSE:STT) is moving to bring the sales and marketing of its flagship Select Sector SPDR Funds back in-house after more than two decades of outsourcing. Beginning in December, State Street Global Advisors Funds Distributors will replace ALPS Inc. as the distributor for the 11-fund suite, which collectively manages about $317 billion in assets, according to a regulatory filing. This change means fees once paid to ALPS will now remain with State Street, though the bottom-line benefit will depend on sales and marketing expenses. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 7 Warning Sign with STT. The shift marks a notable change for some of the most recognizable products in the $12 trillion ETF industry. Since 1998, when the S&P 500 sector-tracking ETFs debuted, State Street had outsourced distribution and later marketing of these funds to ALPS. Now, products like the $84 billion Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLK) and the $51 billion Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLF) will be sold directly under State Street's own umbrella. The firm has begun hiring dedicated ETF sales specialists, a move that follows its recent asset management rebrand and suggests a push to consolidate brand identity and investor outreach. This isn't happening in isolation. Other legacy ETF managers are also exploring ways to capture more economics from their largest funds. In July, Invesco Ltd. sought shareholder approval to change the structure of its Invesco QQQ Trust Series 1 a step that could allow the firm to finally earn direct revenue from the massive vehicle. For State Street, reclaiming control over its Select Sector SPDR lineup could be more than an operational shift it may open the door to stronger alignment between product management, distribution strategy, and potential revenue growth.

Ottawa Senators, NCC finalize land deal for new arena at LeBreton Flats
OTTAWA — The Ottawa Senators are one step closer to having a new arena in the city's downtown core. The Senators and the National Capital Commission have agreed on the sale of 4.5 hectares (11 acres) of land at LeBreton Flats for the project. The agreement of purchase and sale with Capital Sports Development Inc., the team's development arm, follows a deal reached with the NCC last September for a development that includes a new arena. It will allow zoning, design and approvals to proceed, along with decontamination of the site to prepare for construction. 'We are pleased to reach an agreement of purchase and sale with the NCC to take the next step in this process," Senators CEO and President Cyril Leeder said in a statement. "There are still many more hurdles to clear, and we look forward to working with the NCC and other stakeholders to achieve our shared vision of creating an event centre at LeBreton Flats that can be enjoyed by our Ottawa-Gatineau community.' Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. In a release, the sides said "the agreement is a key step in bringing a major events centre and arena district, including mixed-use development, to LeBreton Flats." The new arena would give the Senators a more central home than their current base at the Canadian Tire Centre in suburban Kanata. The suburb, about 25 kilometres from the city's core, has been home to the Senators since 1996. The Senators signed a memorandum of understanding with the NCC in June 2022 to develop LeBreton Flats, and with the purchase agreement now finalized the project can move toward construction. A previous deal to redevelop LeBreton Flats and build an arena under former owner Eugene Melnyk collapsed in 2019 following a fallout between Melnyk and business partner John Ruddy. Melnyk died in March 2022, and Michael Andlauer — a Toronto businessman and former minority owner of the Montreal Canadiens — purchased the team the following year. The LeBreton Flats land deal, finalized under Andlauer's ownership, replaces the earlier plan for a long-term lease of 2.4 hectares, giving the project a much larger footprint. Last September, NCC CEO Tobi Nussbaum said the arena is just one part of a broader vision for LeBreton Flats, which will eventually include more than 6,000 housing units with a target of 25 per cent as affordable housing, as well as parks and public spaces. 'The promise of a major events centre will provide a lively and convenient attraction for residents and visitors, inject new energy and excitement into the core of the Nation's capital and further catalyze the development of LeBreton Flats," Nussbaum said in a statement Monday. "This agreement builds on the two previous real estate transactions completed by the NCC since 2022 on the Building LeBreton project that will see over 2,000 new housing units, along with new retail and commercial spaces built on the site.'
