Federal government posts $6.5 billion deficit in April, May
The federal government posted a $6.5 billion deficit in the first two months of the fiscal year. The result for the April-to-May period compared with a $3.8 billion deficit for the same stretch last year. Revenues increased $26 million, virtually unchanged from the prior year, as increases in customs import duties and pollution pricing proceeds to be returned to Canadians were largely offset by a decrease in revenues from corporate income and goods and services taxes. The Finance Department says program expenses excluding net actuarial losses rose $2.9 billion, or four per cent. Public debt charges increased $400 million, or 3.8 per cent, due to an increase in the stock of marketable bonds and higher consumer price index adjustments on real return bonds. Monday Mornings The latest local business news and a lookahead to the coming week. Net actuarial losses fell $600 million, or 46.8 per cent. This report by The Canadian Press was first published July 25, 2025.

Trump says Canada could have to ‘just pay tariffs' as trade talks continue
U.S. President Donald Trump signalled Friday that he may not reach a deal with Canada, suggesting the northern neighbour will 'just pay tariffs.' 'We haven't really had a lot of luck with Canada,' Trump told reporters outside the White House. 'I think Canada could be one where they'll just pay tariffs, not really a negotiation.'

The remarks come just a day after Canada-U.S. Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc told reporters he was feeling 'encouraged' following meetings with both Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and American lawmakers. However, LeBlanc had also suggested a new economic and security deal would not be signed before Aug. 1. 'Canadians expect us to take the time necessary to get the best deal we can in the interest of Canadian workers,' LeBlanc said. Story continues below advertisement More to come.

Tourism is booming in the Maritimes thanks to both Canadians and Americans
The number of people crossing the border from New Brunswick into the state of Maine has been trending downward since U.S. President Donald Trump took office. Recent Statistics Canada data shows Canadian return trips from the U.S. fell nearly 32 per cent in May compared with May 2024. It's been a consistent pattern for months now, as the trade war between Canada and U.S. continues and Trump continues to talk about making Canada the 51st state. But data also shows the number of American tourists travelling into the Maritimes has been steadier — dropping only slightly in New Brunswick and even growing in Nova Scotia by 5.2 per cent. In New Brunswick, Fredericton's Hartt Island RV Resort was busy this week with campers, swimmers and minigolfers. And the resort's manager expects the rest of the season to be equally busy, with many of those visitors from the U.S. Story continues below advertisement 'We have a lot of U.S. people coming up here because of the exchange in the money is, of course, high,' Debbie MacDonald said.

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 'What's happening is because we're in the middle of everything, we're kind of like the gateway to the Maritimes, so people are stopping here, having a little rest, visiting the water park.' MacDonald estimates the RV park has actually been 20 per cent busier than last year and it's already nearly fully booked for the rest of the season. 1:45 'Don't be a stranger': Maine governor trying to woo back Maritime neighbours If it isn't the American tourists bringing in business, it's Canadians who want to stay closer to home. 'I think it's because a lot of people in Canada right now don't want to travel to the U.S.,' she said. Story continues below advertisement MacDonald's observations aren't isolated. The owner of Tipsy Tails Restaurant in Fundy National Park says he's noticed many American visitors this season who aren't hiding their support for Canada. 'They're just pretty sure they let us know they're from the U.S. they're here to support us, and we're happy to have them here anyhow,' Jeremy Wilbur said. One province over in Lunenburg, N.S., the operating manager of the famous Bluenose II, Maggie Ostler, says they're seeing a boom this year compared with last. 'We are hearing from a lot of Canadians who have chosen to travel within our own country this year, and particularly where Bluenose II is such a Canadian icon,' she said. 'As far as we can tell, it's going to be a really busy summer for visiting Nova Scotia.'
