Trump says he's 'terminating' trade talks with Canada over digital services tax
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre also shared his disappointment that trade talks between Canada and the U.S. have halted and expressed hope 'they resume quickly.'
'As always, Conservatives are ready to help get a good deal for Canada. We must put Canada First,' he wrote.
Poilievre did not call for the government to repeal the DST, instead advocating for it to repeal the Impact Assessment Act, the industrial carbon tax, the electric vehicle mandate and a number of other laws that could prevent businesses from flourishing in Canada.
Disappointed that trade talks have halted. Hopefully they resume quickly. As always, Conservatives are ready to help get a good deal for Canada. We must put Canada First.
At the same time, the government must take emergency action to bolster Canada's economy:
Fully repeal the…

Kheiriddin: Carney will have no choice but to kill supply management
For a while there, things were going so well. Prime Minister Mark Carney — a.k.a. 'the Trump whisperer' — had morphed from critic to texting buddy of the U.S. president. Over the past three months, Carney had been chatting with Donald Trump, building backchannel goodwill. After the successful G7 summit in Kananaskis, Alta., hopes were high that Ottawa would strike a deal with Washington in 30 days, and that the rhetoric of making us the '51st state' had finally been retired. Until Friday, when everything fell apart. That's when Trump abruptly cut off trade negotiations with Canada over our three per cent digital services tax, set to take effect June 30. Aimed at U.S. tech giants Amazon, Meta, Google and Airbnb, the tax was retroactive to 2022 and would have cost them an estimated $2 billion in back payments. The tech bros howled, the president barked and Carney blinked. Sunday night, he backed down and cancelled the tax: Monday morning, U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick thanked him for the climbdown, as did the Canadian Chamber of Commerce. Negotiations were back on. But if you thought that was the last bump in the road, you couldn't be more wrong. In an interview broadcast Sunday morning on Fox News, Trump mentioned a veritable mountain: supply management. That's the system that protects Canadian dairy, poultry and egg industries from foreign competition through quotas and tariffs, including Trump's favourite bugaboo, a 200-plus per cent markup on U.S. dairy products. It's true that the tariff only kicks in after the U.S. exports 50,000 zero-tariff metric tons of milk and 12,500 metric tons of cheese per year — levels it is nowhere near approaching. But supply management was already a sticking point with Trump in the CUSMA negotiations under then-PM Justin Trudeau, and Republican lawmakers and U.S. dairy producers continue to demand its elimination. In our country, unfortunately, it has become a hill on which political careers go to die. Case in point: People's Party Leader Maxime Bernier, whose ambition to lead the Conservative party in 2017 was thwarted by the Quebec dairy lobby after he promised to ditch the policy. And the sacred cow lives on: in June, the House of Commons and Senate passed a Bloc Québécois bill with all-party support to prevent bargaining supply management away. Carney knows that he owes his recent election victory in large part to Quebec voters — and with a minority, needs the support of opposition parties like the Bloc to stay in power. But if Canada wants a serious trade deal with a Trump White House, supply management will have to go. Not just for the sake of negotiations, but because it's a cartel policy that has had its day. The economic case against supply management is straightforward. A study by the Montreal Economic Institute estimates that by limiting Canadian production, the average family pays hundreds more annually for milk, cheese and eggs, compared to countries without such a quota system. The Macdonald-Laurier Institute found that these inflated prices protect a tiny number of producers, mostly large, established farms with valuable quotas, at the expense of millions of Canadians and would-be producers who can't afford to break into the market. It's the worst kind of protectionism: one that punishes the poor, rewards the entrenched and chokes competition. Carney faces the same dilemma as Bernier, in reverse: will he let trade dreams die on this hill? Will he jeopardize our steel, aluminum and auto sectors, as well as deals for critical minerals, for a policy that makes it harder for Canadian families to afford milk for their kids? If Carney is serious about leading this country and these talks, he must put the national interest ahead of political orthodoxy. As this weekend showed, Trump will not hesitate to call Canada's bluff. The Americans want the big cheese — and they'll hold everything else hostage until they get it.

Canada backs down, EU holds firm as U.S. tariff deadline looms
Shipping containers are stacked on container ships at the Port of Los Angeles in Los Angeles, California, U.S., June 25, 2025. /VCG The United States has restarted trade negotiations with Canada following Ottawa's decision to scrap its digital services tax, a move welcomed by the White House. But across the Atlantic, the European Union is taking a starkly different stance, refusing to put its digital legislation on the table in ongoing trade talks with Washington. The development on Monday came as a July 9 deadline approaches for the U.S. to reimpose tariffs of up to 50 percent on several trading partners unless trade deals are reached. Canada scraps digital tax, talks with U.S. restart The trade talks between the United States and Canada will resume immediately following Canada's cancellation of the digital service tax (DST), said White House National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett on Monday. Hassett said U.S. President Donald Trump asked Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney to "take the DST tax off" at the G7 meeting in Canada earlier this month. "It's something that they've studied, now they've agreed to. And for sure, that means that we can get back to the negotiations," Hassett said in an interview with Fox News. Canada's Minister of Finance and National Revenue Francois-Philippe Champagne announced Sunday that Canada will rescind its DST as it prepares for a broader trade agreement with the United States. The tax, which was designed to take effect on Monday, would impose a 3-percent levy on the revenue of U.S. multinational companies like Amazon, Google and Meta earned from Canadian users. Trump announced Friday that the United States would terminate all trade talks with Canada due to Canada's digital services tax on U.S. tech companies. EU digital legislation 'not on table' The digital legislation is not on the table in the trade negotiations between the European Union and the United States, European Commission spokesperson Thomas Regnier told a briefing Monday. Regnier emphasized that European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has made it clear that EU legislation is not up for negotiation, "and this also includes, of course, our digital legislation," he said. "We're not going to adjust the implementation of our legislation based on the actions of third countries. If we started to do that, then we would have to do it with numerous third countries," Regnier added. Nevertheless, the spokesperson said that the Commission remains committed to reaching a trade deal with the United States by July 9. The United States has repeatedly criticized the EU's digital regulations, including the Digital Markets Act (DMA) and the Digital Services Act (DSA), as unfair and has urged the EU to ease oversight of American tech giants. In February, the White House warned in a memo that it would consider retaliatory measures if EU regulators targeted American tech firms under the DMA or the DSA. Just two months later, in April, the European Commission found that U.S. companies Apple and Meta violated the DMA and issued significant fines against both firms. European Commissioner for Trade and Economic Security Maros Sefcovic announced Monday that he will travel to Washington on July 1 to continue efforts toward a U.S.-EU trade deal. Bloomberg reported Monday that the EU is willing to accept a trade arrangement with the U.S. that includes a 10 percent universal tariff on many of the bloc's exports but wants the United States to commit to lower rates on key sectors such as pharmaceuticals, alcohol, semiconductors and commercial aircraft. The EU is also pushing the United States for quotas and exemptions to effectively lower Washington's 25 percent tariff on automobiles and car parts as well as its 50 percent tariff on steel and aluminum, according to Bloomberg.

Battle River—Crowfoot byelection called, giving Poilievre path back to House of Commons
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre speaks in the foyer of the House of Commons on Parliament Hill in Ottawa on May 27, 2025. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Sean Kilpatrick Pierre Poilievre has chosen one of the safest possible places to make his return to the House of Commons — but the rural Alberta riding he's hoping to win in an August byelection could also be dangerous territory for the Conservative leader. Damien Kurek resigned his seat in Battle River—Crowfoot earlier this month after winning more than 82 per cent support in the April 28 election. Prime Minister Mark Carney has set Aug. 18 as the date for the byelection to choose Kurek's replacement. In an emailed statement, Poilievre said it would be an 'honour' to represent the riding and he plans to continue 'fighting for oil and gas, low taxes, free enterprise, a strong defence and respect for the West.' 'The farmers, energy workers and soldiers of Battle River—Crowfoot feed, power and protect Canada,' Poilievre said. 'I will work hard and with humility to earn the support of the amazing people in this extraordinary region.' While almost no one expects Poilievre to lose, the decision to run in this particular part of the country has some analysts scratching their heads. 'It sounded like he was looking for some sort of cakewalk byelection where he could easily get in, but he may have had a miscalculation there,' said Janet Brown, a pollster and political commentator based in Calgary. 'What may have seemed like an easy riding on the surface is going to look more complicated.' Separatist sentiment has been on the rise in Alberta since the Liberals managed an election win that seemed unlikely, if not impossible, just six months ago. Alberta Premier Danielle Smith's government has introduced a bill to make it easier to launch a citizen-initiated referendum, including a vote on separating from Canada. A group called the Alberta Prosperity Project has pledged to push for a referendum on the question, 'Do you agree that the province of Alberta shall become an independent country and cease to be a province of Canada?' Former Conservative cabinet minister Stockwell Day has said he thinks a referendum is a good idea. Provinces cannot unilaterally separate from the country. Even if a referendum vote did succeed — something that no poll suggests is likely — Alberta would have to enter lengthy negotiations with the other provinces, the federal government and Indigenous groups. Smith said on Thursday that she's 'never seen such a high level of separatist sentiment,' and warned about the results of a provincial byelection in Olds—Didsbury—Three Hills last week, where a separatist candidate got just shy of 18 per cent of the vote. The premier also said the problem 'is really in Ottawa's hands' and challenged the Carney government to scrap the proposed emissions cap and repeal the West Coast tanker ban. The town of Trochu is within both Battle River—Crowfoot and Olds—Didsbury—Three Hills, meaning residents are now set to cast their third set of ballots in five months. Barry Kletke has been mayor of Trochu for 21 years. Speaking as a resident, not as the mayor, he said he would be happy to have Poilievre as the area's MP for one term but hopes the Conservative leader doesn't 'get caught down the rabbit hole of separation.' 'I think he's going to wear the 'proud to be Canadian' hat, and I hope that's the message,' he said. Kletke said Smith's tendency to talk about the threat of separation is 'going to come back and bite us in the butt one of these days.' Brown said the results of her most recent poll suggest a third of Albertans believe their province would be better off if it left Canada, and 29 per cent of respondents said they would vote to separate in a referendum. 'It's not a majority but it's not an insignificant fringe,' she said. As a result, she said, even if Poilievre wants to avoid talking about it, 'separatists will want to bait him into that conversation and his opponents will want to bait him in that conversation too.' Kory Teneycke, the co-founder and CEO of Rubicon Strategy and a conservative strategist, agreed Poilievre is about to be dragged into a debate that is 'entirely unhelpful for the federal Conservative party.' Poilievre has said he opposes separation. On May 13, he told reporters Albertans have 'a lot of legitimate grievances.' 'Albertans want to be part of a united Canada but they deserve to be treated with respect, and they deserve to be honoured for the immense contribution to this country, and I will be a unifier,' Poilievre said at a press conference on Parliament Hill. Teneycke said Poilievre should be openly opposing a referendum and saying that 'this is bad for Alberta and this is bad for Canada to even be having this conversation.' It's not yet clear if candidates from any separatist parties will run against Poilievre in the byelection. What is clear is that the conversation won't be limited to the campaign. If Poilievre wins, he will become an MP from Alberta — and he will have to keep talking about the issue. 'That's a dangerous territory for a Conservative leader to be operating in,' Teneycke said. Poilievre represented the Ottawa-area riding of Carleton for more than 20 years before losing to Liberal Bruce Fanjoy in the April election. He's pledged to work to earn the support of his new riding, which includes the communities of Drumheller, Wainwright, Camrose and a large chunk of the Alberta-Saskatchewan border. The Conservative electoral district association in Battle River—Crowfoot did not respond to a request for comment for this story. Poilievre was not made available for an interview. The Liberal party said in a press release Monday that its candidate will be Darcy Spady, an engineer working in the energy sector who grew up in the riding. Poilievre's social media shows he and Kurek have been knocking on doors and holding town halls in the area. He's posted photos and videos from the Wainwright Stampede, local legions and a charity barbecue. But the Tory leader isn't planning to stay for long. Kurek told reporters he plans to run again in the next general election. Where that will leave Poilievre in the next election is not clear. For now, his focus is on getting back into Parliament when it resumes sitting on Sept. 15. This was first published by The Canadian Press on June 30, 2025.
