Summary
Canada’s top economists told Finance Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne in a private Toronto meeting that damage from the escalating US trade war should be manageable.
The session was convened after trade talks with the US collapsed, forcing Ottawa to reassess the outlook with its largest export market under renewed tariff pressure.
That assessment could strengthen Prime Minister Mark Carney’s argument for stepping away from negotiations rather than making concessions under US pressure.
