Canada's new steel tariffs target China, exempt US
Prime Minister Mark Carney announced the new tariffs Wednesday during a visit to a steel plant in Hamilton, Ontario, outlining measures designed to reduce Canada's reliance on foreign supply.
'We must diversify our trade relationships, and above all, we must rely more on Canadian steel for Canadian projects. Those shifts start today,' Carney said.

Under the new policy, Canada will apply a 25 percent tariff on steel imports from any country — except the U.S. — if the original steel was melted and poured in China.

Apology to Lucie Pagé
City Press published a story on 24 December 2024 written by Gillian Schutte, titled ' Lucie Pagé, Canadian journalist and wife to Jay Naidoo, charged with assault ' , and a follow up written by Mduduzi Nonyane on 30 December 2024, headlined ' The victim of alleged assault by Jay Naidoo's wife fears for her life ' [LINK]. Lucie Pagé subsequently complained to the Press Ombud that, amongst others, the articles were false, in violation of the Press Code, portrayed her as a violent person, did not reflect her version of events and that she was not afforded enough time to respond before publication. Ten of those complaints were dismissed by Deputy Press Ombud Tyrone August as being without merit. However, he ruled that City Press was in breach of Clause 2.1of the Press Code for failing to disclose that Schutte, the author of the first article, is also a resident of the estate where Pagé lives and held strong views on various matters at the estate in which Pagé is involved. Schutte was therefore potentially conflicted to write the story objectively. City Press was also found in breach of Clause 1.8 of the code as Pagé was given an unreasonable time frame within which to respond to the request for comment. City Press apologises to Pagé.

TSX futures rise with corporate earnings, tariffs on watch
(Reuters) -Futures for Canada's main stock index on Thursday edged higher with strong corporate earnings boosting sentiment, while investors also weighed the impact of U.S. tariff implementation. Futures on the S&P/TSX index rose 0.6% by 06:15 a.m. ET (1015 GMT), after the TSX hit a fresh record high on Wednesday. U.S. President Donald Trump's higher tariff rates kicked in, with Canada facing a 35% rate after failing to reach a trade agreement ahead of the deadline. Corporate earnings continued in full swing a day after e-commerce firm Shopify became the index's most valuable publicly traded company after delivering an upbeat revenue forecast. On the day, Canadian Natural Resources surpassed expectations for second-quarter profit on higher oil and natural gas production. Space firm MDA beat second-quarter revenue estimates driven by higher work volumes in the Satellite Systems business. Maple Leaf Foods raised its fiscal-year outlook and beat second-quarter analysts' estimates for revenue and profit. Data on Wednesday showed that the downturn in Canada's services economy eased in July with firms more optimistic about the outlook for activity, according to S&P Global's Canada services PMI. In commodities, gold prices edged higher on safe-haven demand, driven by U.S. tariffs, while copper and other base metals rose on U.S.-China trade deal hopes. Oil prices steadied on a potential Trump meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in the coming days. Toronto's TSX index climbed to a new record high on Wednesday, boosted by Shopify, with technology shares leading gains.
