Cabinet to meet Tuesday as Trump says 35% tariff letter is ‘the deal'
Trump appeared to be losing patience with his administration's efforts to make trade deals with nations around the world. The president has been sending letters to trading partners, including Canada, threatening to impose higher tariff rates on Aug. 1. The letter addressed to Carney last week said Canada would be hit with 35 per cent tariffs but the White House later said it would not include goods compliant with the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement on trade.

A well-known restaurant in Sudbury stirred up commotion on social media last week. It started with a post on Facebook that turned to city-wide outrage.

(Photo from video) 'When we posted that, the whole community was behind us,' Qarqouz said. 'The whole community was supporting us, which has encouraged us to keep going.' 'One reason keeps me in Sudbury -- just one reason and (that is having the) community behind me,' added Hussein Qarqouz, a baker from Syria who brought his family here in 2016 when he was forced to flee civil war. He eventually opened Damascus Shawarma, which has become a popular eatery in the city. Frustrated with landlord In the Facebook post, however, the Qarqouz family cited many reasons for their frustration, mainly disputes with their landlord that they said make them want to move. The family says they can no longer tolerate their relationship with their landlord. 'How long can we put up with this?' said Ousama Qarqouz. 'My dad's 50 years old and we came to this country because there's freedom. We ran from war.' The Qarqouz family said they work hard every day maintaining their family business. 'I work very hard ... 12 hours every day. I … never take a day off,' said Hussein. Damascus Shawarma It started with a post on Facebook that turned to city-wide outrage.

Manufacturers report less tariff impact in May compared to April: StatCan
OTTAWA – Statistics Canada says fewer manufacturers report being affected by tariffs in May than in April. The agency says total manufacturing sales were down 0.9 per cent to $68.7 billion in May, marking the lowest level since January 2022. But it says respondents to its survey indicated U.S. tariffs were having a smaller impact on Canadian manufacturing in May than in April. Nearly half of manufacturers reported tariff hits in May, about 10 percentage points lower than the month before when the bulk of the U.S trade levies took effect. The May data doesn't capture U.S. President Donald Trump's move to double steel and aluminum tariffs in June, nor his recently announced plans to impose 50 per cent tariffs on copper imports. Monday Mornings The latest local business news and a lookahead to the coming week. Manufacturers told Statistics Canada in May that they were dealing with tariffs impacts mostly through higher prices and changes in demand. This report by The Canadian Press was first published July 15, 2025.
