Trade Minister Maninder Sidhu eyes new markets, smaller trade delegations
Ottawa's new trade minister says he's looking to sign deals in South America, Southeast Asia, Africa and beyond — and to convince businesses to actually use the trade agreements Canada has already signed. 'My primary role as Canada's top salesman is to be out there hustling, opening doors for businesses and accessing new markets,' Maninder Sidhu told The Canadian Press. 'My phone has been ringing with opportunities because people want to deal with reliable, stable trading partners.' Prime Minister Mark Carney has tasked Dominic LeBlanc as minister responsible for Canada-U.S. trade. Sidhu's job focuses on countries other than the U.S. Export Development Canada says Ottawa has 15 free trade agreements covering 51 countries, offering Canadian exporters preferential access to over 1.5 billion consumers. But Sidhu said Canadian businesses could be doing a lot more to look beyond the U.S., particularly as Washington threatens and imposes a range of tariffs. Story continues below advertisement Sidhu served four years as a parliamentary secretary in roles reflecting all three branches of Global Affairs Canada: aid, trade and diplomacy. The job saw him represent Canada in trade promotion events in Southeast Asia and security forums in the Caribbean. Sidhu worked as a customs broker before politics — a job that focuses on navigating red tape and tariffs to secure the best rate for trading goods. Sidhu said he plans to visit Brazil soon as the South American country seeks to revive trade talks that kicked off in 2018 between the Mercosur trade bloc and Canada. Get daily National news Get the day's top news, political, economic, and current affairs headlines, delivered to your inbox once a day. Sign up for daily National newsletter Sign Up By providing your email address, you have read and agree to Global News' Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy His predecessor Mary Ng put an emphasis on large trade missions which took months to plan. The minister would sometimes fill a plane with corporate and business leaders, spending a substantial chunk of time in one or two countries. Sidhu said he is hoping to bring smaller delegations of companies with him on his trips abroad, with a focus on specific sectors, 'whether it's South America, Indo-Pacific to Europe, to Africa.' 'Businesses feel like they're heard, but they're also getting higher-level meetings on the opposite side in the countries that we take them into,' he said. Ottawa is navigating its trade ties with China as the two countries work to revive the decades-old Joint Economic and Trade Commission, a forum to sort out trade irritants. Story continues below advertisement China has been roundly accused of engaging in coercive trade practices and of restricting certain commodities or services like tourism during political disagreements with Ottawa. Sidhu said the goal there is to offer 'stability' to industry, with an emphasis on 'how do we work through those challenges, and how do we make sure that those conversations are facilitated.' Sidhu also downplayed the chances of a bilateral trade deal with the United Kingdom. Trade talks collapsed last year over the U.K.'s desire to sell more cheese in Canada and after Britain blocked Canadian hormone-treated beef. Both countries are using a temporary deal put in place after Britain left the European Union, and the U.K. will soon enter a trade bloc that focuses on the Pacific Rim, Sidhu noted. He said Canada would still be open to a full deal. 'If U.K. and Canadian businesses already have access on 99 per cent of the items that we trade, then if we're looking at trade agreements, we need to make sure that we're getting the best value for our negotiations,' Sidhu said. He also said Canada could consider 'sector-specific agreements' with other countries, instead of comprehensive deals that span most industries. 'We are getting very creative in how we can open up more doors,' he said. Story continues below advertisement Sidhu did not name specific countries where Canada might pursue sector-specific agreements. Canada had been looking at a trade agreement with India that would be limited to certain sectors — before Ottawa suspended talks in 2023 following an assassination the RCMP has linked to New Delhi. Ottawa launched security talks with India this spring and agreed to re-establish high commissioners. Sidhu was circumspect when asked when Canada might re-establish trade talks with India. 'This is a step-by-step approach,' he said, adding that the eventual return of top envoys will help 'to carry out those very important conversations.' Sidhu said Global Affairs Canada is still sorting out how Carney's decision to cut spending in all departments will affect the trade branch. 'It's really going to be a focused approach, of where we can make the best impact,' Sidhu said. The Business Council of Canada has urged Ottawa to expand the number of trade commissioners, who provide the contacts on the ground for Canadian companies looking for export opportunities. While Sidhu did not say whether Ottawa's cuts will mean fewer trade commissioners, he said he's heard a clear message from chambers of commerce that these positions are extremely valuable. 'It comes down to return on investments, what programs are working (and) where can we get the best bang for our buck for Canadian industry and Canadian workers,' he said. Story continues below advertisement 'A lot of the business community doesn't even know that (the Trade Commissioner Service) is there to help. And so my job is to help amplify that.'

Canadian teenager Victoria Mboko upsets top-seeded Coco Gauff to reach Montreal quarterfinals
Victoria Mboko of Canada waves to the crowd following her win over Coco Gauff of the United States during round of 16 tennis action at the National Bank Open in Montreal, Saturday, Aug. 2, 2025. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Christinne Muschi MONTREAL — Canadian teenager Victoria Mboko upset top-seeded Coco Gauff 6-1, 6-4 on Saturday night to reach the National Bank Open quarterfinals. 'Your support was incredible,' Mboko told the crowd in French after a chorus of 'Olé, Olé, Olé!' chants echoed around the venue. 'I'm really happy to win today. .. It's incredible. I'm so happy to beat such a great champion.' Gauff dropped to 2-3 since winning the French Open. She followed the major victory with opening losses in Berlin and Wimbledon, then overcame double-fault problems to win two three-set matches in Montreal. Gauff had five double-faults Saturday after having 23 in her opener against Danielle Collins and 14 against Veronika Kudermetova. 'She's playing high-level tennis.' Gauff said. 'I think that's what showed today. I think she was the better player.' The 18-year-old Mboko, ranked 85th in the world, finished off the 21-year-old Gauff — who had 24 unforced errors — in 1 hour, 2 minutes. 'When I was up 5-4, the crowd started cheering even louder, and everything got super noisy,' Mboko said. 'I used that as more fuel for myself and to pump myself up a little bit more. I just used the crowd to my advantage as much as I could.' Mboko will face Jessica Bouzas Maneiro of Spain, a 7-5, 6-1, 6-2 winner over Lin Zhu of China in a rain-interrupted match that ended just before midnight. In Rome in May, Gauff rallied to beat Mboko 3-6, 6-2, 6-1. 'I was actually really thinking about it a lot during the match,' Mboko said. 'I had flashbacks to when I played her in Rome a little bit. I just remember when she came out playing even better and stepped it up a bit better. Wanted to step my game up a little bit more and make sure I matched whatever she was producing, and I wanted to stay right there with her.' Earlier, 24th-seeded Marta Kostyuk of Ukraine and ninth-seeded Elena Rybakina of Kazakhstan set up a quarterfinal match. Kostyuk beat McCartney Kessler of the United States 5-7, 6-3, 6-3, and Rybakina topped Dayana Yastremska of Ukraine 5-7, 6-2, 7-5. The Associated Press

Quebec's travelling carnivals, a summer staple for generations, continue to captivate
People wander around the Fun Show Amusement, a travelling carnival, in Laval, Que., on Wednesday, July 9, 2025. (The Canadian Press/Christinne) Bright colourful rides, skill-testing games with a stuffed animal prize, and copious amounts of sticky cotton candy are all hallmarks of the travelling carnival circuit, and are deeply rooted in the imagination of Quebecers who've been able to experience them. The travelling midways, which temporarily set up shop in shopping centre parking lots or wherever else they can find space, have been part of the Quebec landscape for decades. The people who bring on the fun say they intend to be here for years to come. 'We never end up in the red, business is going well,' says Véronique Vallée, co-owner of Beauce Carnaval, the oldest of two such companies. Some seasons — like this year with a cold and rainy April and May — are more difficult than others, she said. 'We lost nine Saturdays at the beginning of the year,' she said. 'That hurts. 'But when people see that the weather will be nice on Friday or Sunday, they adjust.' She and her two brothers are the third generation to operate the ferris wheels of Beauce Carnaval, founded in 1953 by their grandfather, Florian. The company operates two units that travel each year from the Côte-Nord to Abitibi, Outaouais, Montérégie, Estrie, and the Lower St-Lawrence region — passing through their home base of the Beauce, south of Quebec City, and everywhere in between. The newer company, Fun Show, also has two units on the road, but does not venture as far. Still, it covers a vast territory that extends from the Laurentians to the Eastern Townships to the capital region, passing through Central Quebec. Founded 19 years ago, Fun Show is a financially demanding business, says Sylvie Larivière, sister and right-hand woman to founder Mario Larivière. 'People have no idea about the costs of operation, repairs, maintenance and moving,' she said. 'We are 100 per cent self-sufficient: we provide our own electricity with generators, and diesel is a fortune.' There are other expenses — renting a vast lot, paying employees, housing them and insurance. It requires a solid financial footing. The weather was a problem to begin the season, but the company has since recovered, she said. The company has only lost money in one year in its almost 20-year history. Mario Larivière built Fun Show from the ground up, his sister said. 'He bought a few used rides, an investor who was kind enough to help him financed him and he worked hard,' she said. 'He was already good at mechanics and construction (and) the old rides were mechanical. 'But today, there are a lot of electronics, and it's not the mechanics that break anymore; it's always the electronics.' Véronique Vallée and her two brothers essentially grew up at the fair. 'When we finished school, we would come and spend our summers at the carnival,' Vallée said. 'My two brothers and I all studied in other fields and all three of us returned to the family business.' Both Fun Show and Beauce Carnaval employ around 100 people, a figure that can increase, as can the number of rides at major agricultural fairs if customer activity becomes more intense. It's a tough but rewarding job, Vallée said. 'It's difficult to recruit because people are on the road for six months. They don't see their families, they don't stay at home, they don't have Saturdays and Sundays off to go to the beach,' Vallée said. 'That's what characterizes this job: to go away, to be a vagabond for six months.' Since 2018, Beauce Carnaval has employed 34 seasonal workers from Mexico who've helped recruit each other over time. 'They have a great mutual support between them. It's really a great team and when they're here, they spread that to others,' Vallée said. On the Fun Show side, unit manager René Caron said recruiting isn't too hard as veterans return year after year and bring their friends with them. What attracts them, he said, is the feeling of having found a family. 'Many don't have a family, many don't have a fixed home. So they come here for the summer and the family atmosphere,' Caron said. 'They leave in the fall, but sometimes they go and live together in pairs or threes. They come here to build bonds.' Workers say they are passionate about carnival living. In particular, all point to the excited, happy faces of youth getting to partake as a major plus. Robert Gobeil and Sylvain Roy met at the Beauce Carnaval site in Victoriaville, Que. 'We love everything in general,' said Gobeil about his job. 'We're here to entertain people, what's better than entertaining people? I chose this job because we wanted to be able to work all summer and be down south in the winter.' Gobeil heads south in his motorhome in October and returns in April. He briefly retired after the COVID-19 pandemic, but was drawn back to carnival life. Sylvain Roy, on the other hand, loves winter and snowmobiling during the off-season. He, too, left the showman's life in 2009, but soon came back. 'When it's in your blood, you come back,' Roy said. 'I love it: Beauce Carnival is a family. We're a family at home, but when we're here, we have a family here too.' By Pierre Saint-Arnaud This report by The Canadian Press was first published Aug. 2, 2025.
