How Canada-U.S. trade talks could shape the potential recession risk
As the deadline looms for a new trade deal between Canada and the U.S., economists say what the deal contains could determine a key possibility — how bad a potential recession could be. On Monday, Prime Minister Mark Carney said he would only sign a deal that was 'a good deal for Canada' and that 'negotiations are at an intense phase' towards a new trade deal with the U.S. If one isn't reached by Aug. 1, U.S. President Donald Trump has threatened to hit Canada with more tariffs of 35 per cent. At the same time, economists are watching closely for the risk of a recession. 'We are so far sticking to a view that we see a very shallow technical recession in Canada for the second quarter, third quarter. Very mild contraction,' said Sal Guatieri, director and senior economist at BMO Capital Markets. Story continues below advertisement However, that depends on one key caveat. 1:57 'Trump ate von der Leyen for breakfast': EU leaders react to 'unbalanced' trade deal with US 'That assumes we do work out a trade deal with the U.S. and it keeps that average effective tariff rate close to six per cent (and) does not pile on too many new sectoral duties in the months ahead,' he added.

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 With a six per cent effective tariff rate, Canada's economy could potentially start recovering by the end of the year, Guatieri said. 'It does hurt, but it's manageable and something that Canadian businesses ultimately could adjust to and live with.' The reason the effective tariff rate on Canada is relatively low, at six per cent, is that goods that comply with the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) were exempt from Trump's broad-based tariffs back in April. Story continues below advertisement Not everyone agrees that a recession is likely, either. 'We don't have a recessionary outlook again for later this year. If CUSMA exemptions do hold, which is what we're expecting right now, we don't expect there will be significant changes to the outlook either,' said Claire Fan, senior economist at RBC. 3:32 'It may seem like it's a long way (off)': Carney says Canada needs 'right' trade deal with U.S. While Canada is expecting a trade deal with some tariffs, Fan said CUSMA exemptions might help Canada avoid a worst-case scenario economic downturn since it puts it ahead of the U.S.'s other major trade partners. 'It reflects a comparative advantage as a key exporter to the United States. It's not so much about the exemptions themselves, but more so what it means for Canadian exporters relative to, let's say, exporters from Europe or from one of the other major U.S. trade partners,' she said. Story continues below advertisement If the status quo holds, Fan expects that the 'bulk of the damage is already done' to Canada's labour market. However, if Trump's tariffs on Canadian steel, aluminum and automobiles continue after Friday, those sectors could see further losses. 'It's a blow for the auto industry (and to) steel and aluminum. There will be some pain there, maybe further layoffs. But for the overall economy and other industries, it is a manageable tariff to absorb, Guatieri said. 4:59 Canada – U.S. trade negotiations ahead of deadline 'We are seeing very pronounced damage in sectors where you would expect damage to be showing up. These are largely very trade-exposed sectors. Manufacturing is one, and a lot of the related sectors, for example, warehousing and transportation,' Fan said. So far, the damage from tariffs has been most heavily localized in southern Ontario and Quebec, Fan said. Story continues below advertisement 'If you were to look at the unemployment rate in southern Ontario, it's approaching 10 to 11 per cent in Windsor and is really elevated in other parts like Peterborough as well. In Toronto, too, which is above where the national average is,' she said. If CUSMA exemptions hold, Guatieri expects much of the country to escape the worst effects of Trump's trade war. 'We think most of the rest of the country is somewhat insulated from this trade war. Unfortunately, Ontario and Quebec are not,' he said.

Palantir, the AI giant that preaches U.S. dominance
Palo Alto — Palantir, an American data analysis and artificial intelligence company, has emerged as Silicon Valley's latest tech darling — one that doesn't hide its macho, America-first ethos now ascendant in Trump-era tech culture. The company's reach spans the global economy, with banks, hospitals, the U.S. government, and the Israeli military among its ever-expanding client roster. 'We want and need this country to be the strongest, most important country in the world,' Alex Karp, Palantir's CEO, recently declared at a client conference in Palo Alto, California, where AFP was the only media outlet present. Start your day with a roundup of B.C.-focused news and opinion. By signing up you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc. A welcome email is on its way.

In armed conflicts — most notably in Ukraine — Palantir's tools help evaluate potential targets in real-time, using multiple sources, including biometric data and intercepted phone calls. 'I'm super proud of… what we do to protect our soldiers… (using our AI) to kill our enemies and scare them, because they know they will be killed,' the graying, curly-haired billionaire continued, wearing a tight white T-shirt. Washington has been filling Palantir's coffers. In the first quarter, the company received $373 million from the U.S. government – a 45 percent jump from the previous year — and it's not all military spending. This spring, federal immigration authorities (ICE) awarded the company a $30 million contract to develop a new platform for tracking deportations and visa overstays. 'Like a drug' The company then secured an investment of nearly $800 million from the U.S. military, adding to the $480 million contract signed in May 2024 for its AI platform supporting the Pentagon's 'Project Maven' target identification program. This marked Palantir's first billion-dollar contract, elevating it alongside government contracting stalwarts like Microsoft and Amazon's AWS. However, financial results 'are not and will never be the ultimate measure of the value, broadly defined, of our business,' Karp wrote in his letter to shareholders in early May, where he tossed in quotes from Saint Augustine, the Bible and Richard Nixon. 'We have grander and more idiosyncratic aims.' Palantir was founded in 2003 by Peter Thiel — Silicon Valley's preeminent conservative — Karp, and others with CIA backing. The company takes its name from the magical seeing stones in Tolkien's 'Lord of the Rings.' 'Young people would say we're like pure drugs — very expensive, highly sought after… that make you stronger and better,' Karp boasted on stage. Palantir's expanding footprint at the highest levels of government has raised eyebrows. Several members of the Trump administration's 'DOGE' cost-cutting commission, originally headed by Elon Musk, came from the company. Recent reports from The New York Times, Wired, and CNN have detailed secret government projects to create, with Palantir's help, a central database combining data from different federal agencies. 'Deeply proud' This development has created 'a lot of concerns about how that information might be used,' warned Elizabeth Laird from the Center for Democracy & Technology. Palantir maintains it isn't building 'surveillance technology' or a 'central database on Americans.' Unlike most traditional Silicon Valley companies that have kept military projects discreet, Palantir now embraces its defense work openly. Sasha Spivak, director of strategy, said that when she joined Palantir ten years ago, the company kept its sense of purpose behind closed doors. 'Today we're not ashamed, we're not afraid, and we're deeply proud of what we do and our clients,' said Spivak. Some employee groups are pushing back. In early May, 13 former Palantir employees published a letter accusing tech giants of helping to 'normalize authoritarianism under the cover of a 'revolution' led by oligarchs.' They argue that by supporting the Trump administration and DOGE, Palantir has betrayed its stated values of ethics, transparency, and defending democracy. 'When I joined the company… there were many smart, motivated people — that's pretty rare,' said one of the letter's signatories, who wishes to remain anonymous, for fear of reprisal. After months of seeking management explanations about Palantir's collaboration with Israel and ICE, several of these employees resigned. 'They said, 'We're a company that's very responsive to employees,' but people asking about Israel were quickly shut down and told, 'That's what we do — if you don't like it, you can leave,'' the former staffer recalled. Jeremy David, co-director of the Health division, plays down the controversies. 'My daily life is more about nurses and doctors who often hate us at first and are very grateful at the end,' he told AFP at the conference. On stage, Joe Bonanno, head of data analysis at Citibank, celebrated how one operation that previously required 'nine days and sometimes 50 people' now 'takes just a few minutes for one person.' 'Like I said, and like Alex said, I came to dominate, crush and annihilate. So if you're JPMorgan, Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley, sorry,' he concluded with a broad smile. Some potential clients quietly admit they don't appreciate the war-like rhetoric, but they see no alternative to Palantir's capabilities.
