Prime Minister Carney announces Canada's G7 priorities ahead of the Leaders' Summit
OTTAWA, ON, June 7, 2025 /CNW/ - Fifty years ago, in the face of upheaval and geopolitical tensions, a small group of advanced economies formed what is now the G7 – a forum for co-operation, stability, and shared prosperity. In 2025, as global challenges intensify, the G7 must meet this moment with purpose and with force.
Today, the Prime Minister, Mark Carney, announced the priorities that will guide Canada's 2025 G7 Leaders' Summit, to be held in Kananaskis, Alberta, from June 15 to 17, 2025.
Anchored in building stronger economies, Canada will seek agreements and co-ordinated action on three core missions:
Other discussions will include a just and lasting peace for Ukraine and other areas of conflict around the world, and a forward-looking agenda that engages partners beyond the G7, recognizing that our long-term security and prosperity will depend on building coalitions with reliable partners and common values.
Quote
'Canada has what the world wants and the values to which others aspire. The G7 Leaders' Summit in Kananaskis is a moment for Canada to work with reliable partners to meet challenges with unity, purpose, and force. Canada is ready to lead.'
— The Rt. Hon. Mark Carney, Prime Minister of Canada

Mongolian embassy visits Spruce Meadows to unveil new exhibit
A delegation from Mongolia visited Spruce Meadows on Saturday for the unveiling of a new pavilion showcasing Mongolian tourism. The exhibit, which features traditional Mongolian handicrafts, fashions and saddles was officiated by a representative from the Embassy of Mongolia in Canada, the vice governor of the province of Ömnögovi, and other delegates. It will be open through until the end of the 'National' presented by Rolex, the facility's annual show-jumping equestrian tournament, which runs June 11-15. 'We are very grateful for this opportunity to showcase Mongolian traditions, culture, and products,' said Batkhuyag Mergee, counsellor for trade, economic and investment relations, for the Embassy of Mongolia in Canada. Representatives from the delegation also spoke of the similarities between Alberta and Mongolia, pointing to their mutual love of horses, mountain landscapes and the growing adventure tourism industry. The delegation will spend a week in Alberta wherein they will explore opportunities in education, environment, training and tourism. 'Mongolia and Canada share many similarities like vast beautiful land, diverse climate, rich natural resources, and, most importantly, a shared commitment to democratic values,' Mergee said. 'Today we are going to highlight another unique connection, which is our deep-rooted horse culture.' Spruce Meadows at 50 Zanabazar Jargal, province vice-governor, echoed the same commitments to forging a stronger relationship with Alberta. 'What's so special about Spruce Meadows is that it's really about the horse,' said Linda Southern-Heathcott, Spruce Meadows president and CEO. 'Our Alberta culture, and the Mongolian culture, have at the heart of them, the horse. The people of Mongolia have a very strong culture; they have beautiful mountains, they have the desert, and they are really leaning into adventure tourism, which is very exciting.' ddesai@

Apparel brand Oak + Fort to restructure amid tariff woes
VANCOUVER — Canadian apparel brand Oak + Fort says it has obtained creditor protection as it works to restructure the business. The Vancouver-based company says the move is necessary because U.S. tariffs have joined other price pressures and led to a decline in consumer confidence and spending. The tariffs arrived after Oak + Fort pushed to open 26 new Canadian and U.S. stores in the last four years, which the company says resulted in a reduced and ultimately insufficient investment in its e-commerce platforms. Court documents show the company owes more than $25 million to creditors including some landlords who didn't receive May rent payments. Oak + Fort says it will continue to operate stores and an e-commerce business during the restructuring. The retailer has hired Reflect Advisors LLC to assist with the restructuring. Oak + Fort was founded in 2010 as an online boutique that eventually expanded to 42 stores in Canada and the U.S. selling womenswear, menswear, accessories, jewelry and home goods.

'Haven't given up': minister seeks tariff breakthrough
Australia's trade minister remains confident tariffs imposed by the US will be removed, ahead of a likely meeting between Anthony Albanese and Donald Trump. The two leaders could meet on the sidelines of the G7 summit in Canada next week, with the economic measures imposed by the US president around the world set to dominate discussions. As Australia looks to negotiate for an exemption on tariffs, Trade Minister Don Farrrell was optimistic a deal could be reached. "I certainly haven't given up on the prospect of getting these tariffs removed, and every opportunity I get, I'll continue to pursue that argument with the United States," he told Sky News on Sunday. "There is no justification for the United States to impose tariffs on Australia ... we want all of the tariffs removed, not just some of them." Mr Trump recently signed off on doubling tariffs on exports on steel and aluminium from 25 to 50 per cent. All other Australian exports to the US have been slapped with a 10 per cent tariff. Senator Farrell met with US trade representative Jamieson Greer last week and said he pushed the case for all of the economic measures to be removed. The minister was hopeful a similar approach that removed $20 billion worth of tariffs on Australian goods entering China could be used with America. "We didn't retaliate on that occasion, and bit by bit, we managed to get all of those tariffs that had been applied on Australia by China removed. I'd like to do the same with the United States," he said. "It's only by open discussion, honest discussion with out allies in the United States that I think we can do that." As the US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth urged Australia to increase its defence spending by billions of dollars to 3.5 per cent of GDP, Senator Farrell said the federal government had already proved its commitment through the AUKUS submarine deal. Australia is looking to up its total spent on defence to 2.3 per cent. "We are committed to the defence of this country, we are committed to a significant uplift in the amount of spending," Senator Farrell said. "(AUKUS) is going to be a project that's worth more than $360 billion, so I think we've talked the talk." Prime Minister Anthony Albanese signalled on Friday negotiations on opening up access to US beef into Australia could be on the table as part of tariff negotiations. However, he said biosecurity would not be compromised in order to reach an agreement.
