Photo by GEOFF ROBINS / AFP VIA GETTY IMAGES OTTAWA — Almost two in five Canadians say recent court rulings in the U.S., and the ongoing legal battle over President Donald Trump's tariffs, have made them feel less confident in the future of trade relations, a new poll suggests.

Sixteen per cent of Canadian respondents say they feel more confident, while 37 per cent say their level confidence in the future of the trade relationship hasn't changed. The Leger poll, which was conducted online and can't be assigned a margin of error, surveyed more than 1,500 people between May 30 and June 1. The poll also surveyed more than 1,000 Americans. Their responses to the poll were substantially similar. Thirty-six per cent of American respondents said the recent court rulings and the ongoing legal battle over Trump's tariffs made them feel less confident about the future of trade with Canada and with the rest of the world. Another 19 per cent reported feeling more confident and 31 per cent said their opinion hadn't changed. Your noon-hour look at what's happening in Toronto and beyond.

Trump's tariffs are still hitting most countries around the world after a federal appeals court temporarily paused a decision last week by the U.S. Court of International Trade to block his tariffs. The court said Trump went beyond his authority when he used the International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977 to take his trade war to the world. A federal appeals court granted the Trump administration's emergency motion for a temporary stay, allowing those tariffs to stay in place for now. The poll suggests that Albertans are reporting the lowest level of confidence in the state of trade relations — 48 per cent of them told Leger they feel less confident about the future of Canada_U.S. and U.S._international trade relations. That's compared to 38 per cent of Quebecers, 37 per cent of Ontarians and 35 per cent of people in B.C. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Among Canadians 55 years of age and older, 43 per cent reported feeling less confident in trade relations; just 33 per cent of Canadians aged 18 to 34 said the same. More women than men said they were losing confidence. While many Canadians expressed concern about the future of trade relationships, many also said the fact that U.S. courts are trying to limit Trump's impact on trade policy increases their trust in America's institutions. The poll suggests that 45 per cent of Canadians say their trust in U.S. democratic institutions has increased, while 17 per cent say it has decreased. Almost a third of Canadians said it has had no impact on their opinion. Quebecers were the most likely to say their trust had increased, at 54 per cent, compared to 45 per cent of people in B.C., 43 per cent of Ontarians and 39 per cent of Albertans. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Canadians aged 55 and over were more likely to say their trust had increased than younger Canadians. Among the Americans surveyed, 38 per cent said the fact that U.S. courts are trying to limit Trump's trade powers increases their trust in U.S. democratic institutions. Another 24 per cent said it decreases their trust and 26 per cent said it had no impact on their opinion. Andrew Enns, Leger's executive vice-president for Central Canada, said that if there had been only one ruling — the one that blocked the tariffs — the confidence levels recorded by the poll might have been higher. 'There was a second ruling and I think, if anything, it's left people a bit uncertain about the situation,' Enns said, noting that levels of concern seemed to be higher earlier in the year. 'I think the confidence, it's going to take some time to rebuild that.' The polling industry's professional body, the Canadian Research Insights Council, says online surveys cannot be assigned a margin of error because they do not randomly sample the population. — With files from David Baxter and Kelly Geraldine Malone This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 6, 2025.

Manitoba to pay for students to travel to war sites in Europe
The Manitoba government is sending high school students to Juno Beach and other historic battlfields to increase their awareness about the world wars. Premier Wab Kinew and Tracy Schmidt, minister of kindergarten-to-Grade 12 learning, announced Friday they had approved a new fund to help students travel overseas. 'Learning the lessons of history and honouring the sacrifices made by Canadians before us is a key element of understanding and upholding human rights, diversity and inclusion in our province,' Kinew said in a news release. A small Canadian flag is seen on Juno Beach on the 75th anniversary of D-Day in Courseulles-Sur-Mer, France in 2019. (Sean Kilpatrick / The Canadian Press files) A total of $200,000 has been earmarked for the first year of the multi-year pilot of immersive and international field trips. Grade 11 and 12 students from Winnipeg, Brandon and Frontier school divisions have been invited to participate in the inaugural trip. A group of 25 students and chaperones from four schools are scheduled to visit multiple sites, including Vimy Ridge (Vimy, France), Juno Beach (Normandy, France) and In Flanders Fields Museum (Ypres, Belgium), in November. The participants hail from Sisler and Churchill in Winnipeg, Crocus Plains in Brandon and Helen Betty Osborne Ininiw Education Resource Centre in Norway House. Wednesdays Columnist Jen Zoratti looks at what's next in arts, life and pop culture. Kinew hinted about the initiative in his throne speech Nov. 19, opening the second session of the 43rd legislature.

Liberals introduce bill to cut trade barriers, speed up 'nation-building' infrastructure
The Liberal government introduced legislation Friday that it says will eliminate federal barriers to internal trade and detail how nation-building infrastructure projects will be identified and approved more quickly. The One Canadian Economy Act attempts to fulfil campaign promises made by Prime Minister Mark Carney to strengthen Canada's economy and sovereignty in the face of the economic attacks on Canada by the Trump administration. Carney said Friday that it is a bill with two equally important components, designed to create one Canadian economy out of 13. A bill that is laser-focused on building a stronger, more competitive and a more resilient Canadian economy that works for all Canadians. The prime minister said the bill will on, the one hand, speed up the approval process of major infrastructure projects, reducing approval times from five years to two by introducing a one-project, one-review approach instead of having federal and provincial approval processes happen sequentially. And the bill would also provide a boost to internal trade by recognizing provincial standards for goods, services and labour mobility as having met the federal standard. Carney says provinces will have a say over projects: Début du widget Widget. Passer le widget ? Fin du widget Widget. Retourner au début du widget ? Carney says he won't force projects on provinces that refuse them 'We will not impose a project on a province,' said Prime Minister Mark Carney when asked if the federal government would force pipelines on provinces that may not want them. He added that the first ministers' meeting demonstrated the provinces are willing to collaborate. Under the legislation, someone who is certified or licensed to perform specific skilled work in a province or territory that wants to take on a job doing the same thing for a federally regulated project will be deemed to have met that federal standard. The government says recognizing provincial standards will open up job opportunities to workers and give employers a larger candidate pool to draw upon. The bill only recognizes provincial standards at the federal level. Workers certified or licensed in one province that want to work in another will only be able to do so when that province or territory agrees to drop their trade barriers. The federal government has rules and standards for businesses on top of regional requirements that apply across provincial and territorial borders. Under the legislation, provincial standards for goods and services will be recognized as having already met federal standards. That means a province's organic standards for food, or energy efficiency standards for appliances, will be treated as having met federal standards. Nation-building projects Canada's a country that used to build big things, Carney said. "But in recent decades it's become too difficult to build in this country. For too long, when federal agencies have evaluated a new project, their immediate question has been why. With this bill, we will instead ask ourselves, how? During the election campaign Carney promised his government would speed up approvals for infrastructure projects identified as being nation-building, without providing a detailed description of what that means or how it would be determined. Friday, the government said a nation-building project would make a significant contribution to Canada's prosperity and advance national security, economic security, defence security and national autonomy through the increased production of energy and goods, and the improved movement of goods, services and people throughout Canada. Examples of such projects include: highways, railways, ports, airports, pipelines, critical minerals, mines, nuclear facilities and electrical transmission projects. Projects that meet the nation-building standard are also measured against five key benchmarks to determine if they will: Strengthen Canada's autonomy, resilience and security. Provide national economic or other benefits. Have a high likelihood of being successful. Advance the interests of Indigenous Peoples. Contribute to Canada's objectives with respect to climate change. Officials speaking on background said these five standards are not a checklist, but rather factors that are considered when evaluating whether a project is nation-building or not. The parties doing the considering, the government said, include provinces, territories and Indigenous rights holders. Once something is declared a nation-building project it is put on a list of approved projects. That list can expand, adding new projects, until the measures in the bill sunset, which happens five years after it is passed. Cutting approval time by 60% Once a project is added to the list, proponents will use the newly formed federal Major Projects Office as their single point of contact instead of having to go through multiple agencies and ministers. The office will help walk proponents through the assessment and permitting process, consulting with provinces and Indigenous Peoples on mitigation and environmental impact measures that would need to be taken. Carney stressed Friday that consulting with Indigenous Peoples throughout the approval stage will be an important part of the process. The Major Projects Office will include an Indigenous Advisory Council of First Nations, Inuit and Métis members to provide advice and direction. Carney also said the legislation will ensure that environmental protections are maintained for these projects. He said the federal and provincial governments would work together to achieve the goal of a single assessment for projects. And the federal government would streamline its own process further by making one cabinet minister, instead of multiple ministers, responsible for authorizing a project in consultation with the prime minister.
