How the U.S.-Canada trade war affects flight deals and travel plans
The growing sentiment to 'buy Canadian' and boycott U.S. products is reaching new heights as travel plans are now feeling the shift amid the ongoing trade war. Domestic carriers are readjusting flight plans to keep up with changing attitudes. And, as Anne Gaviola explains, this trend may be a sign of things to come on the economic front.

Jack Nathan Health Provides Update on Filing of FY 2024–25 Financial Statements and Audit Progress
TORONTO, June 09, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jack Nathan Medical Corp. (TSXV: "JNH"; OTCQB: "JNHMF"), ("Jack Nathan Health", "JNH" or the "Company") announces that it was unable to file its audited consolidated financial statements, management's discussion and analysis (MD&A), and related CEO and CFO certifications for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2025 (collectively, the "Annual Filings") by the required deadline of May 31, 2025. The delay was primarily due to the complexity surrounding the Asset Purchase Agreement (APA) completed on December 1, 2024, under which the Company transferred its Canadian medical clinic business and operations to Well Health Technologies Corp. As part of this transaction, access to EMR systems, supporting documents, and clinical records was also transferred, and this has resulted in extended timelines for data retrieval and audit testing. In addition to the operational handover: The Company underwent a change in external auditors during the fiscal year. A significant number of JNH's employees, including finance and administrative staff, transitioned to Well Health. A resulting delay in commencing the audit, which only began in late February 2025 Despite the late start, Jack Nathan Health made every effort to complete the audit by the filing deadline. Based on that intent, the Company did not apply for a Management Cease Trade Order (MCTO) in advance. However, given the ongoing audit, the Company was unable to meet the statutory filing deadline. As a result, the Ontario Securities Commission issued a Failure-to-File Cease Trade Order ("CTO") against the Company on June 6, 2025, under applicable securities legislation. The CTO prohibits trading in the Company's securities in all Canadian jurisdictions where reciprocal orders apply, until the required filings are completed and the order is revoked. The Company continues to work closely with its auditors to finalize the audit and expects to file well within the 90-day period required for automatic revocation of the CTO. "This past year marked a major transformation for Jack Nathan Health. The transition of our Canadian medical business to Well Health involved an extensive operational and systems handover," said Mike Marchelletta, CEO of Jack Nathan Health. "We recognize the delay in our reporting obligations and remain fully committed to transparency. Our team is working diligently to finalize the audit, and we anticipate filing as soon as possible."

GFL weighs sale in infrastructure arm valued at C$5 billion
-- Gfl Environmental (TSX:GFL) Holdings Inc (NYSE:GFL) is exploring the sale of a stake in its infrastructure arm, Green Infrastructure Partners Inc., in a potential deal that could value the business at around C$5 billion ($3.7 billion) including debt, Bloomberg reported, citing people familiar with the matter. The development underscores growing investor interest in Canadian civil infrastructure as major funds line up to participate. The Markham, Ontario-based company has held early-stage talks with private equity firms including General Atlantic, Energy Capital Partners (WA:CPAP), and Neuberger Berman, the people said. The transaction, if completed, would mark one of the largest infrastructure-related deals in Canada this year. Green Infrastructure Partners operates separately from GFL's core solid waste and environmental services business, providing services such as road building, paving, and site development. The unit has grown rapidly in recent years through a series of acquisitions, making it a strategic asset in Canada's expanding civil infrastructure sector. For GFL, the sale of a stake would unlock capital to support Green Infrastructure Partners' continued expansion while monetizing a high-growth division. The move comes amid strong private capital flows into infrastructure, with investors broadly seeking stable cash-generating assets amid market volatility. Shareholders of GFL, including HPS Investment Partners, are involved in the ongoing discussions, though no final decisions have been made. The structure, size, and timing of any potential sale remain under consideration. While the process is still in its early stages, additional interest from other strategic or financial bidders is possible, said sources. A transaction would mark another significant portfolio reshuffle by GFL as the company refines its long-term strategic focus.

Canada to hit NATO spending target this year as it shifts defense focus toward EU
Canada will reach NATO's defense spending target of 2% of GDP this year, five years ahead of schedule, Prime Minister Mark Carney announced on June 9. Speaking at the University of Toronto, Carney said the move is part of a strategic pivot away from reliance on the U.S. and toward deeper cooperation with the European Union, citing growing security threats from Russia, China, and other adversaries. Carney said Canada's current military capabilities are inadequate, noting that only one of four submarines is operational and much of the maritime and land fleet is outdated. To reverse this trend, his government is launching a $6.8 (9.3 billion Canadian dollars) boost to the defense budget for 2025-26. The investment will be tabled in Parliament through supplementary estimates and directed toward rebuilding the Canadian Armed Forces, upgrading equipment, and expanding domestic production capabilities. The new defense posture includes reassessing major procurement decisions, such as the planned purchase of U.S.-made F-35 jets, and prioritizing partnerships with European firms for equipment acquisitions. Carney emphasized that three-quarters of Canada's defense capital spending has gone to the U.S., a pattern he said must end. "We're doing this for us," Carney was quoted as saying. "Relatedly we're doing it as a strong NATO partner, we're a firm believer in NATO, and we're standing shoulder to shoulder with our NATO allies, we'll continue to do so. ." Carney's announcement comes just ahead of the NATO leaders' summit in late June, where member states are expected to commit to higher defense spending thresholds of up to 5%. The prime minister said Canada would support a new NATO defense industrial pledge and participate in the EU's ReArm Europe initiative. He added that future cooperation with the EU will be a major theme of the upcoming Canada-EU summit.
