Canada's trade team downplays chances of deal with Trump by Aug. 1
With the clock ticking on U.S. President Donald Trump's threat to boost tariffs on some Canadian exports to 35 per cent starting Aug. 1, Canada's top trade negotiators are downplaying the likelihood of reaching a deal by that deadline. Dominic LeBlanc, minister responsible for Canada-U.S. trade, and Canada's ambassador to the U.S., Kirsten Hillman, wrapped up two days of meetings with Republican senators. These included a brief sit-down between LeBlanc and Howard Lutnick, the U.S. secretary of commerce and Trump's point man on tariffs. "We've made progress, but we have a lot of work in front of us," LeBlanc told reporters outside a Senate office building on Thursday. LeBlanc said he had a "productive, cordial discussion" with Lutnick and plans to return to Washington next week. He also added some caveats about the path to reaching a deal. "We're going to continue to work toward the Aug. 1 deadline,' he said. "But all of these deadlines are with the understanding that we'll take the time necessary to get the best deal that we think is in the interest of the Canadian economy and Canadian workers." Hillman, who was appointed Canada's chief negotiator with the U.S., also suggested an agreement with the Trump administration is not imminent. WATCH | Dominic LeBlanc speaks after meeting Trump's point man on tariffs: "It's important for us to recognize that there is a time when the deal is the right deal, and it's important for us to be in a position to continue negotiating until we get to that point," she said. Their comments are the latest evidence that Prime Minister Mark Carney's government is not in a rush to sign a deal with the U.S. Carney said Tuesday that his objective is "not to reach a deal whatever it costs." Following Carney's meeting with Canada's premiers earlier this week, Nova Scotia's Tim Houston said the prime minister isn't dead set on signing a deal by the deadline. Other countries reach tariff deals with Trump This comes amid Trump's announcements this week of framework agreements on tariffs struck with Japan and Indonesia, and reports the U.S. is closing in on a deal with the European Union. Canada may be less panicked than other trading partners about the Aug. 1 deadline because only a small portion of Canada's exports to the U.S. would be affected by Trump's threat of 35 per cent tariffs. That's because most goods enter the U.S. tariff-free under the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement, or CUSMA. Officials say LeBlanc and Hillman met with five Republican senators in Washington: Kevin Cramer (North Dakota), Roger Marshall (Kansas), Shelley Moore Capito (West Virginia), Tim Scott (South Carolina) and Todd Young (Indiana). Another Republican senator, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, told reporters in Washington on Thursday that the U.S. shares a lot of security and economic interests with Canada and shouldn't treat it as "just another country" when it comes to tariffs. "I wish that I could say it feels good, that this is all going to be taken care of before the first of August, but I'm not sensing that," said Murkowski, who visited Ottawa on Monday to meet Carney and some of his cabinet ministers

Premiers praise Carney and one another as they wrap up meetings in Ontario
HUNTSVILLE, ONTARIO, CANADA - Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe wrapped three days of meetings with his fellow premiers and Prime Minister Mark Carney Wednesday with a message he admitted he wouldn't have sent over the past decade. 'We can be proud of the work our federal government is doing, in fairness,' Moe said. Moe has been one of the federal Liberal government's most vocal critics in recent years — and criticism of Ottawa is usually guaranteed when provincial leaders gather. But as the country faces down U.S. President Donald Trump's trade war, the elbows-up, Team Canada approach seems to be winning out under Carney's government. Ontario Premier Doug Ford praised the prime minister at every opportunity Wednesday, calling him a gentleman, humble and a brilliant businessman. The premiers joked around, slapped each others' backs and dined at Ford's cottage this week. Carney slept at the cottage on Monday before joining the Council of the Federation meetings in Huntsville, Ont., on Tuesday for a discussion about trade talks with the U.S. Premiers revealed little of what they learned in those discussions, with Aug. 1 fast approaching. That's the deadline Trump has set to raise tariffs on some Canadian goods to 35 per cent, and the day by which Carney has said he wants to strike a deal with the U.S. Alberta Premier Danielle Smith said the Americans are signalling they will not start renegotiating the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement on trade until 2026, something she called disappointing. But Smith said Canada is working toward deals on specific sectors Trump is targeting, like vehicles, steel and aluminum, and lumber. 'If we can come up with some kind of common arrangement on those issues, those sectoral agreements by Aug. 1, we'll look at that as a win. And if it takes a little bit longer to renegotiate the Canada-U.S. free trade agreement to make sure that we get it right, then I'm supportive of that,' Smith said. The prime minister and the premiers downplayed the value of getting a deal done soon to avoid further U.S. tariffs, saying they want the best deal possible regardless of timing. A number of provinces and territories have signed agreements to open up internal trade, while others have committed to building pipelines to get oil and gas to new markets. 'No other group of premiers, as long as I can ever remember, have been able to sign 11 (memorandums of understanding),' said Ford, who is this year's chair of the Council of the Federation. The premiers did release a list of things they said they want Ottawa to address. In a statement issued Wednesday, they called on the federal government to improve Canada's trading relationship with China. 'You know what Churchill said, our enemy of our enemy is our friend, and I don't consider Americans the enemy, but right now President Trump himself is acting like the enemy,' Ford said. The friction dates back to last fall, when Canada imposed a 100 per cent tariff on Chinese electric vehicles — matching a move by the Biden administration in the U.S. — and levies on a range of other goods, including EV batteries and parts, critical minerals, solar panels and semiconductors. China hit back with 100 per cent tariffs on imports of Canadian canola oil and meal, and a 25 per cent levy on some pork, fish and seafood products. 'As long as China plays fair and doesn't undercut our markets, be it the auto sector or any sector, I have no problem dealing with them because we're already dealing with them,' Ford said, pointing out that Ontario imports about $40 billion worth of Chinese goods and exports back about $3 billion. The premiers say they want the federal government to work toward removing Chinese tariffs from Canadian canola, peas, pork and seafood. Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew said that while the relationship with China is complicated, the two countries must talk to each other. 'We have to have engagement,' he said. 'We can't turn away from the rest of the world, especially given what's going on with Mr. Trump.' New Brunswick Premier Susan Holt said she's happy that Canada and China are now in active talks toward a trade deal. 'Given that we're now negotiating a completely new relationship with the U.S., we can get back to the table with China to work to remove the seafood tariffs that New Brunswickers are experiencing,' she said. Moe and Ford said they are worried about steelworkers in their respective provinces, with three major steel plants feeling the brunt of U.S. tariffs on steel and concerns about China dumping steel into the market through proxy countries. The federal government announced protectionist and anti-dumping measures targeting Chinese-made steel last week. The premiers are also asking the federal government for changes to the bail system and more money for health care. B.C. Premier David Eby insisted health care and the cost of living are perennial priorities for provincial governments, even though health didn't come up at the meeting with Carney. 'We have to be able to do multiple things at once in this country,' he said. The premiers called for more action on immigration and said they're looking at ways to exercise more authority over that file. Ford said Smith told her fellow premiers that Section 95 of the Constitution allows provinces to pass legislation related to immigration. He said nearly 100,000 asylum seekers came to Ontario alone last year, and while many people want to work, it can take years for them to obtain work permits. 'We will be issuing our own work permits,' Ford said. — Written by Liam Casey in Huntsville, Ont., and Sarah Ritchie in Ottawa with files from Hina Alam in Fredericton This report by The Canadian Press was first published July 23, 2025.

Can Unisys Capitalize Early With Looming Quantum Threats?
As the specter of quantum computing edges closer to reality, cybersecurity has entered a new era—one where legacy encryption may soon be obsolete. Unisys Corporation UIS is betting on that future. In its first-quarter 2025 earnings call, the company introduced its first Post-Quantum Cryptography solution—a cryptographic posture assessment designed to help organizations identify vulnerabilities in their encryption frameworks ahead of the quantum strategic move aligns with Unisys' broader 'Clear Path Forward 2050' roadmap, which aims to modernize client infrastructure with future-proof solutions. The company's pivot toward quantum-resilient security, coupled with its growing presence in AI-enabled services, endpoint management, and data protection, could provide a differentiated edge as enterprises reassess their cybersecurity revenue declined 11.4% year over year in the first quarter, Unisys grew new business total contract value (TCV) by 80%, highlighting strong forward momentum. Management reiterated full-year guidance and sees back-half tailwinds, especially in high-margin License & Support and infrastructure field services. Its balance sheet also remains robust, with $393 million in cash and improving free cash quantum race is still in early innings, but Unisys' proactive investments suggest it's trying to be more than a follower. Whether this niche play delivers meaningful upside depends on client adoption rates, the speed of quantum innovation, and execution across its diversified mounting cyber risk and rising demand for AI-ready infrastructure, Unisys may be positioning itself early—investors just have to decide if they believe it's early enough. Rivals in the Quantum Race: How DXC Technology and Leidos Compare As Unisys moves early on quantum-resilient cybersecurity, two key competitors—DXC Technology DXC and Leidos Holdings LDOS—are also accelerating their investments in post-quantum security and AI-driven defense solutions. DXC Technology has emphasized modernizing IT infrastructure and securing hybrid environments for large enterprises, with quantum-readiness emerging as a focal point in its recent federal and financial services contracts. DXC's positioning in digital transformation makes it a natural rival to Unisys in government and enterprise sectors, where data protection is Leidos continues to expand its cybersecurity capabilities through government defense contracts, many of which now include quantum threat mitigation as a requirement. Leidos' focus on advanced threat intelligence and secure data transport challenges Unisys' ambitions, especially in public-sector security deployments. Both DXC Technology and Leidos boast stronger scale and federal exposure than Unisys, but UIS's focused innovation in quantum security could help it carve a niche if it executes ahead of DXC and Leidos.
