In the news: Trade war ignites, Poilievre wants Parliament recalled, businesses brace

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is being urged by opposition leader Pierre Poilievre to reconvene Parliament in order to gain information on a proposed U.S. trade deal that Poilievre has rejected. Poilievre is demanding the full text of the deal, as he believes Canadians need to know how it could impact prices for goods like groceries and gas.

Meanwhile, Canadian businesses are bracing for the effects of the ongoing trade war with the United States, with one Calgary jewelry maker expecting to lose half of her customers due to American tariffs. WestJet flight attendants are also in the midst of voting on a new contract deal, which includes a wage increase of over 18 percent and additional compensation for ground work.
