Trump ‘acting like the enemy,' Ford says as premiers wrap final day of meetings
The Canadian premiers speak to the media during the 2025 summer meetings of Canada's Premiers at Deerhurst Resort in Huntsville, Ont., on Wednesday, July 23, 2025. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Nathan Denette Following a day of talks focused on domestic issues, such as bail reform and health transfers, Canada's premiers are wrapping up their three-day gathering in Muskoka presenting a united front in the ever-looming threat of U.S. President Donald Trump's trade war. 'We can walk and chew gum at the same time,' New Brunswick Premier Susan Holt said during a post-meeting press conference. 'What's happened is that the pressing threats that Donald Trump has made to our economy have meant that instead of occupying all of our meetings and squeezing out conversations about bail reform and immigration, we've been meeting a lot more.' 'We've spent a lot more time together in my entire tenure as premier in just eight months than I think my predecessor would have spent in six years,' Holt also said. The premiers are wrapping up three days of meetings in Huntsville, Ont., hosted by Ontario Premier and Council of the Federation Chair Doug Ford. While the provincial and territorial leaders have covered topics ranging from internal trade barriers to health transfers and immigration, the threat of Trump and his trade war loomed large. Prime Minister Mark Carney also joined the premiers in Muskoka for a meeting on Tuesday, aimed mostly at giving an update on the state of negotiations with the United States. While Carney has given an Aug. 1 deadline to hash out a new economic and security deal with the U.S. — pushing it back from an earlier mid-July date — the prime minister signalled Tuesday he's prioritizing getting 'the best deal' over the timeline. Many premiers said Tuesday they have faith in the federal government as a negotiating team, while Trump's pledge to raise tariffs on Canadian goods to 35 per cent on Aug. 1 fast approaches. During the post-meeting press conference on Wednesday, Quebec Premier François Legault said the Muskoka gathering gave the premiers an opportunity for 'two-for-one' talks, both on domestic issues amongst themselves and on trade negotiations with Carney. Legault said considering the impending Aug. 1 deadline for higher tariffs, the chance to meet with the prime minister was 'necessary.' Earlier Wednesday, Ford said: 'Trump himself is acting like the enemy.' 'I have no problem, but I don't trust President Trump as far as I can throw him,' Ford said, when asked whether he'd be satisfied waiting until 2026 to renegotiate the Canada-U.S. Mexico Agreement (CUSMA), the date by which the free trade deal is already set for review. 'He constantly changes his mind, you just don't know who you're dealing with,' the Ontario premier added. Premiers support waiting for best deal Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, meanwhile, said she would prefer to have the CUSMA renegotiation process accelerated, especially with Trump 'getting quite aggressive' on certain sectoral tariffs, such as those targeting autos, steel, aluminum, and copper, to name a few. 'I'm watching Truth Social along with everyone else, because things could change in five minutes,' Smith said during the premiers' final press conference. 'But what we're hearing from the Americans, it looks like they're putting off a full renegotiation of the Canada-U.S. free trade agreement until next year. I find that disappointing.' 'If we can come up with some kind of common arrangement on those sectoral agreements by Aug. 1, we'll look at that as a win,' Smith also said. 'And if it takes a little bit longer to renegotiate (the) Canada-U.S. free trade agreement to make sure that we get it right, then I'm supportive of that.' Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew said he's also in favour of waiting on a good deal instead of rushing into a weaker one. After spending the bulk of Tuesday focused on Trump and presenting a united front with the American administration, the premiers shifted to domestic policy on Wednesday, discussing health transfers and bail reform. Deal by deadline 'highly unlikely': former ambassador In an interview on The Vassy Kapelos Show across the iHeart Radio network on Wednesday, former Canadian ambassador to the U.S. David MacNaughton said he believes it's 'highly unlikely' Canada and the U.S. will reach a 'comprehensive deal' by Aug. 1. 'It may take longer, and I think it probably will,' he said. MacNaughton served as Canada's diplomat in Washington throughout the original CUSMA negotiations during Trump's first term.

Summer weekly green cart collection begins in Halifax
Green bins as seen on the curb in London, Ont. (Source: City of London) Weekly green cart collection is back in Halifax for the summer. According to the Halifax Regional Municipality, residents can now leave their green carts for compost out for collection every week alongside regular collection day, as apposed to the usual bi-weekly service. During the 2025-26 budget process, Halifax council approved for a shortened summer collection period, meaning weekly collection will end on Sept. 12 rather than through the whole month like previous years. 'The last couple years we've looked at trying to have some budget reductions, this year we decided to do a budget reduction of five weeks, three weeks in July and two weeks in September for a savings of $422,000. On the average tax bill that's about $1.39 per household,' said District 2 Councillor David Hendsbee. Hendsbee adds wildlife sightings, particularly bear sightings, have increased following the reduction of services. 'We'll probably bring it back with longer service than it was because we had a lot of complaints this year not just of bears, but we also had instances of rodents and racoons and stuff, so it has become a wildlife nuisance,' he said. Hendsbee also asks residents to take precautions to minimize the risk of rotting garbage attracting rodents. Residents in some more wooded areas say they've also seen more bears in their areas. 'Usually in the spring months we've been seeing them on the weekly so we've just moved our green bin out of reach behind out fenced area so they weren't coming around,' said resident Carissa Wilson. 'I think in my area, at least our adjacent neighbours, have locked down their green bin, but the bears will sometimes take them into the road regardless,' she added. Updated collection schedules can be found on the Halifax website. Bi-weekly collection will resume on Sept. 15. With files from CTV's Callum Smith.

Women's shelter in Goderich receives almost $600k from Ontario government
The emergency shelter at Huron Women's Shelter Second Stage Housing and Counselling Services. (Source: Huron Women's Shelter Second Stage Housing and Counselling Services) On Wednesday, the provincial government announced a $45 million investment to support community non-profit organizations. One of these organizations is the Huron Women's Shelter Second Stage Housing and Counselling Services, located in Goderich. The shelter, which supports women and children impacted by gender-based violence, is receiving just under $600,000 over the next three years to introduce an innovative housing model. The funding is provided through the Ontario Trillium Fund, and will support 140 non-profit organizations, Indigenous communities and small municipalities. Along with the women's shelter, other recipients include Durham Youth Housing and Support Service, Food for Life in Halton Region and YMCA of Three Rivers at Camp Belwood. To receive the grants, non-profit organizations can apply for grants of $100,000 to $600,000 over two to three years. The grants are used to improve, expand or adapt an existing program or service. Stan Cho, Minister of Tourism, Culture and Gaming said it's vital to help non-profit groups benefit communities across the province. 'Whether it's helping seniors stay physically active and learn new skills or connecting young people to their communities through the arts, non-profit organizations across Ontario deliver programs and services that make a real difference in people's lives,' said Cho.
