Toitures Hogue rises to the top of its industry with entry into the select Platinum Club of Canada's Best Managed Companies program Français
Launched in 1993 by Deloitte, the Best Managed program is the largest of its kind in the country. It recognizes the excellence of Canadian-based companies with annual sales of $50 million or more.
" We are particularly proud of the fact that this title was awarded to us following an exhaustive review by an external jury made up of program sponsors and CEOs of the best-managed companies," says President Jocelyn Hogue. He emphasizes that Toitures Hogue 's clear business strategy, solid capabilities, commitment and financial performance are the values the company promotes and to which all employees adhere. This privileged recognition is in addition to the company's ISO certifications: ISO 9001 (quality), ISO 45001 (health and safety), to which ISO 14001 (environment) was recently added.
The roofer's trade calls for in-depth knowledge of mathematics and the technical properties of materials, which, in 2025, will give way to a host of innovations developed for the benefit of property owners in industrial, commercial, institutional and high-rise residential environments. " We play a vital role in maintaining a quality-built heritage and protecting real estate investments, insofar as a healthy roof is a guarantee of safety and building integrity," continued Mr. Hogue, hence the need for innovative and highly safe practices and methods.
According to Mr. Hogue, National Roofers Week in Canada, from June 1 to 6, will help raise awareness among business people and building owners of all kinds of the importance of maintaining roofs capable of withstanding the weather and the impacts of climate change, which are likely to multiply over the years.
Mr. Hogue concluded by pointing out that the unprecedented damage caused by extreme weather events in the summer of 2024 alone cost Canada, according to insurers, more than $7.5 billion.

Carney holds ‘productive' call with Trump as U.S. trade war stretches on
Prime Minister Mark Carney and U.S. President Donald Trump spoke over the phone on Thursday as the effects from Trump's trade war continue to mount. The two leaders had a 'productive and wide-ranging conversation,' Carney's office said in a statement. The call came just hours after Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand was in Washington, D.C., to meet with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio. 'The leaders discussed current trade challenges, opportunities, and shared priorities in a new economic and security relationship between Canada and the U.S.,' the statement from the Prime Minister's Office said.

'The leaders also discussed how to build on the President's leadership to support long-term peace and security for Ukraine and Europe,' it added. Story continues below advertisement The two also agreed to 'reconvene shortly.' The phone call between Carney and Trump comes after Trump signed an executive order last month that raised tariffs on Canada to 35 per cent on Aug. 1, and as a trade deal remains out of reach. The White House said at the time that Trump was raising the tariff rate because Canada 'has failed to cooperate in curbing the ongoing flood of fentanyl and other illicit drugs' into the U.S., as well as Canada's retaliatory tariffs on American goods. Carney said at the time he was 'disappointed' by Trump's decision to raise tariffs further. 'While the Canadian government is disappointed by this action, we remain committed to CUSMA, which is the world's second-largest free trade agreement by trading volume,' Carney wrote in a letter posted on social media.

Ontario loses 38,000 jobs as U.S. tariffs hit manufacturing sector
Ontario lost tens of thousands of jobs in the past three months, according to the province's financial watchdog, as the impacts of tariffs from the United States begin to bite. A new report published by the Financial Accountability Officer of Ontario found employment had dropped by 38,000 jobs in the province during the second quarter of the year. 'The unemployment rate rose for the ninth consecutive quarter, reaching 7.8 per cent in 2025 Q2,' part of the report said. 'This is 2.6 percentage points higher than the low of 5.2 per cent recorded in 2023 Q1, and marks the highest unemployment rate since late 2012, excluding the pandemic.' The report found tariffs levied by U.S. President Donald Trump on Canadian imports to his country were behind some of the changes. Story continues below advertisement The largest drop in employment came in manufacturing, where 29,400 jobs were lost in the second quarter of 2025. Business, building and support services lost 14,900. There were also substantial drops in employment in transportation and warehousing, as well as in agriculture. Overall, employment in Ontario's industrial sector dropped by 3.5 per cent in the second quarter of 2025 — a change the financial watchdog attributed to U.S. tariffs.

Opposition politicians pointed to the numbers as evidence Premier Doug Ford was failing to deliver on his election promise to 'protect Ontario' from Trump and the effects of his economic policies. 'These numbers are truly alarming. Ontario workers are facing the worst job losses in more than a decade, with the manufacturing sector hit especially hard,' said NDP MPP and finance critic Jessica Bell. 'Families can't afford more government inaction while good, full-time jobs disappear from right underneath of us.' Ontario Liberal finance critic Stephanie Bowman issued a similarly harsh statement, accusing the government of failing to fulfill its central election promise. 'This report shows that we are heading in the wrong direction. Record spending by the Conservative government is doing nothing to fight high unemployment,' she said. Story continues below advertisement 'Never has a government spent so much to deliver so little. Working families are struggling, we are building housing at the slowest rate in a decade, and many of the businesses impacted by tariffs are not eligible for help from the province.' A spokesperson for Ontario's minister of finance said the government was doing everything in its power to protect jobs. 'With President Trump's tariffs taking direct aim at our economy, our government is using every tool we have to protect the over 800,000 jobs in Ontario's world-class manufacturing sector,' they wrote. On Wednesday, Ontario unveiled $70 million for its tariff relief efforts. The money was put towards offering expanded training and employment services for workers in tariff-hit industries like steel or autos. The province also opened up $1 billion in emergency loans for businesses struggling in the face of tariffs earlier this month. It is part of a broader $5 billion pot, although the plan for the remaining $4 billion has not been made public. Bowman said the current offerings were insufficient. 'Tariff 'relief' measures announced by this government will do little to help in the long term,' she wrote in her statement. 'They are mostly temporary measures and will do little to help the thousands of companies, especially small businesses, who are bearing the brunt of this trade war.'
