Canada's exports to the U.S. fell again in May as trade war continues
The Canadian economy showed signs that it has been working to pivot away from doing business with the United States, according to new data from Statistics Canada. That comes as U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs and trade war have forced many businesses to seek alternative trading partners to avoid impacts and higher costs. 'Trade diversification is still advancing, and we're seeing encouraging gains in other markets,' says principal economist Andrew DiCapua at the Canadian Chamber of Commerce. 'The worst may be behind us, but the road back will likely be uneven.' In May, Statistics Canada reports the total amount of merchandise exported increased by 1.1 per cent compared with April, led by metals including gold, silver and platinum to countries like the United Kingdom, as well as non-metallic mineral products. Story continues below advertisement Imports fell 1.6 per cent, marking the third straight monthly decline, the agency said, which helped narrow the overall trade deficit from $7.6 billion in April to $5.9 billion in May.

The agency also reports that in May, the amount Canada exported specifically to the U.S. fell by 0.9 per cent, marking the fourth consecutive monthly decline. Although expectations of higher costs from Trump's tariff policies may have motivated businesses to look away from the U.S., economists note that the numbers show these higher costs from tariffs haven't yet fully materialized. 'Ninety-one per cent of Canadian exports to the U.S. crossed the border duty-free, consistent with the view that the exemption for CUSMA/USMCA-compliant trade from blanket U.S. tariffs imposed in March is working effectively,' economist Nathan Janzen at Royal Bank of Canada says. Story continues below advertisement 'We continue to expect that current rules, if maintained as currently in place, would leave Canada with the lowest tariff rate of any major U.S. trade partner — putting Canadian exporters in a stronger relative position to compete for U.S. import market share than other countries.' Tariff measures are more costly for goods and services that do not meet the requirements of the Canada United States Mexico Agreement (CUSMA/USMCA). Prime Minister Mark Carney has been working with Trump on the terms for a new trade deal. This data from Statistics Canada comes just weeks ahead of the July 21 deadline for Canada and the U.S. to reach a new trade deal, or there could be further tariff escalations.

Ontario and Atlantic provinces rank lowest in Canada for worker happiness
A new report is shedding light on workplace happiness and workers in Ontario and Atlantic Canada are at the bottom of the list. ADP Canada's Happiness at Work Index report for June found that Ontario has now fallen to the bottom of the national rankings in workplace happiness, with a regional score of just 6.7 out of 10. Ontario is tied with workers in Atlantic Canada. The report says the drop in happiness for Ontario workers is a warning sign. 'From stalled career growth to lackluster recognition, Ontario workers are sounding the alarm on what's not working at work,' the report says. Given the boost other provinces are seeing, the report warns that Ontario's continued slide suggests deeper issues are at play. Story continues below advertisement Key factors outlined in the report include that just over half of Ontario workers feel like they are stuck in their current position with nowhere to grow.

This comes as other provinces are seeing a summer boost in employee sentiment thanks to perks like flexible hours and time to disconnect. 'Workers in Canada are clear – supporting workplace relationships or offering meaningful summer perks, supports well-being at work,' says Heather Haslam, vice-president of marketing at ADP Canada. 'If employers align to some of these priorities, they can support environments where people feel valued and heard – ultimately encouraging a stronger employee experience.' A lack of flexibility and balance from workplaces could also be contributing to worker burnout. A 2024 report from HR consulting firm Robert Half found that more than four in 10 (42 per cent) of Canadian professionals reported feeling burnt out. Millennials (ages 27 to 42) reported burnout at work more than any other generation, at 55 per cent. Generation Z (ages 18 to 26) followed closely at 51 per cent, then generation X (ages 43 to 58) at 32 per cent and baby boomers (ages 59 and above) at 24 per cent. Story continues below advertisement The most reported contribution to burnout among respondents was heavy workloads due to understaffed teams, at 52 per cent. Forty-two per cent felt a lack of communication and managerial support contributed most to their burnout, while 39 per cent pinned it on missing tools/resources required to perform properly at work. — with files from Global News' Naomi Barghiel
