The Canadian Chamber of Commerce is expressing optimism following a recent visit from U.S. Senator Marco Rubio and the upcoming meeting between trade officials from the United States and Canada. Despite the meeting on Thursday ending without tariffs being lifted, both sides are planning to reconvene next week to continue negotiations.
Prime Minister Mark Carney has stated that he is prepared to negotiate with President Donald Trump, as long as Canada’s sovereignty is respected throughout the process. This commitment to protecting Canada’s interests is crucial as the two countries navigate their trade relationship amidst ongoing tensions.
Matthew Holmes, a representative from the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, has highlighted the importance of maintaining open lines of communication and working towards a mutually beneficial resolution to the trade war. The Chamber is hopeful that meaningful progress can be made in the upcoming meeting, ultimately leading to a positive outcome for both nations.
As the dialogue between the U.S. and Canada continues, all eyes will be on the developments in the trade negotiations. The potential for a resolution to the trade war is on the horizon, and the efforts of both countries to find common ground are a promising sign for the future of the economic relationship between the two neighbors.

Have to love the Canadian media talking heads "all the more reason to buy local". If American citizens did the same Canada would be bankrupt within a quarter.. Some of the least impressive people pull the strings in Canada, completely feckless as the covert police enforce the caste system that keeps us in the stone age, not even Asian nations view us as an advanced nation anymore.
Lefties foaming at the mouth!
Why can't maga followers see that this is the downfall of the US. Look at the market and the worldwide lost of confidence. 4 years from now other countries will have diversified in so many businesses they use to happily carry with americans. The world run on trust, everything else is replaceable.
Canada 51! Home of the free and the land of the brave!
Farmers in ontario grow so much stuff for usa. Heads up Farmers. We Canadians liove you
The world is in the middle of virus 47 pandemic
For those of us in legislated poverty, the stay-at-home, if you even have one, lockdown, is still happening in 2025 in Canada.
Little Marco is Trump's yes man, every time he open his mouth his primary concern is if Trump is listening. If trump hears anything he doesn't like, back in Washington Marco will get an earful.
We need a conservative GOVT with a 4yr mandate to deal with crisis Trump doe not respect liberal woke climate extremists govt
Why are we not shutting the lights off what are we afraid of we look weak when we back down. If you wear shorts in the winter your stuff
Our new Democratic and liberal parties have no idea what they're doing but what they are is striving on is driving hatred towards the USA irregardless of what your thought is. Our parties are implementing import taxation so-called tariff on ourselves. We have to recognize the USA is our biggest customer. And we have to look at working this out.. blocking products from purchasing and doing what we can to counter tariff will leave Canada in a lost lost situation. Stop listening to Canadian liberal media and liberals and new Democratic party. They have no interest whatsoever and the betterment for Canada
Little Marco. lol! Oh America, you are screwed. Have a nice day. 💪🇨🇦
There will be no going back. The damage is done. If Trump wants the auto sector, let’s send them packing and the one country purchasing US auto will be the US.
Why would anyone invite someone into their home when they have demonstrated such disrespect for the individuals living there. Publicly apologies or stay in Washington
Canadian libs want the trade war to drag out. US shouldn't be in a hurry to settle it. Let's see what Alberta does first.
Sorry Canada, don't blame Trump for the immigration crackdown, Biden created a disaster that we have to sort out now.
I think any optimism is naïve. Trump has flat out SAID, this economic pressure won't lift because the whole purpose is to bring Canada to its knees and beg to become the 51st state. Period. The only way to end this is the painful process of cutting ALL our trade ties with the USA and focus on our ally countries for trade.
Europe stand with Canada
That's called backstabb by the so called imaginary BFF, unlike Israel America where they are truly BFF 😂😂😂
Make these ingrates to the north of us pay their fair share! U.S. has carried your water for several decades! Pay up or shut up!!!
NAIVE CANADIANS don’t believe that the USA will control Canada in the next 8-10 months
Plus j’en apprends sur l’Islam, plus je réalise à quel point il y a des choses fascinantes et méconnues. Si vous aimez la réflexion et la découverte, prenez juste quelques minutes pour lire sur le sujet, ça vaut vraiment le détour !
This stems all the way back from last July, when Canada launched a consultation and eventually implemented 100% tariff on EVs and an additional 25% tariff on steel and aluminum products imported from China in October, 2024.
Businesses are frustrated, supply chains are tightening, cost is going up and we aren't happy, I'm pissed off to be honest. I feel like I'm going through the lockdowns all over again, but this time I might have to lay off employee's and halt business with at least one of my companies, because I rely on aluminum and composites and the instability in prices is killing me, my other business I rely heavily on our soft and hard wood lumber industries and even there I'm seeing some instability, but not much thankfully.
Like anybody can trust anything DJTrump says; he says whatever comes to mind and changes his mind on a whim, just look at what happened to Zelinskyy. DJT HAS ALREADY PROVEN THAT NO ONE CAN TRUST ANY AGREEMENTS MADE WITH AMERICA; agreements will only last until DJT changes his mind again, promises mean NOTHING.
The American Press feels so comfortable to use 51st state, are they so ignorant that they don’t understand how serious this is? His BFF Putin is invading UK because he wants what they have…is this any different? Why does the USA need to file a bill so Trump can’t use their army to invade us…WAKE THE F UP!! Where does this end on a good note? Removing tariffs will make everyone’s life easier, however you can’t threaten annexing a country and expect that to just go away!! Now, any American president moving forward can add this to their platform! We learned a valuable lesson, we need to be fully independent of the USA.
Marco Rubio is being humiliated and used by Donald Trump.
The population of the US is almost 10 times that of Canada. Therefore, the demand for goods must also be 10 times that of Canada, which is normal. Because the trade balance difference of 155 billion between the two countries is very normal, there is clearly nothing fraudulent to argue about. The US empire wants to use its power to annex Canada to become their 51st state. This is an extremely despicable act of a superpower.
Canada should invite China to build their car plants in Canada.
America doesn't want business with canada. No need from canada. Why canada cowardly depending on usa . Canadian govt childish, doesn't want to stand own feet where is your military, intelligence. Shame on Canadian govt you are in ditch from many many decades. Now open your eyes ,don't be blind anymore.
Bye bye to the F-35.
I say end the trade war then work on diversfying. Lessons learned around the 🌎
America cannot be trusted again. The dependence and total reliance on US is why Canada is where it is. Hope the lesson has been learnt. If you have to trade with China, do so. Canada needs to think about themselves. Atleast China is not threatening to invade Canada. Irrespective of who is in the White House, there is no need to start trusting.
Trump is not the greatest threat to Canada. Mary Simon is. Trump cannot prevent our government from fighting back against his financial political and possibly military attack on Canada
Canada's Governor general Mary Simon can and did prevent the Canadian government from passing any legislation that could help Canada combat these threats . Mary Simon did exactly that when she cancelled the parliament of Canada.
Trump could not destroy Canadian unity. Mary Simon could and did destroy Canadian unity
When Mary Simon cancelled Canada's parliament she forced every province and territory to defend themselves individually.
Surely she realizes what a disastrous strategic mistake it was to cancel the Canadian parliament when we needed it most. If she does she's not in any hurry to restore Canada's parliament. November maybe she says. Maybe Canada will be financially ruined by November and maybe one or more provinces and territories have been forced to leave Canada by November. None of that matters to Mary Simon because Mary Simon is not fighting for Canada she's fighting for Mary Simon and the Liberal party who appointed Mary Simon to the Best job in the world. Mary Simon knew that she was gambling with Canada's survival when she cancelled Canada's parliament but she did it anyway. She had to to save the Liberal party who were losing their grip on power. If the Liberals lost power Mary Simon would be out of a job. That's why Mary Simon cancelled Canada's parliament and Will not recall parliament untill she thinks that the Liberals have a good chance of keeping control of the Canadian government.
This is without a doubt the greatest act of treason in Canadian history done for Petty personal political reasons.
Every country gets the government that it deserves. If you think that you deserve democracy then you're going to have to take it back from the person who stole it. If you don't then you deserve Mary Simon. Demand that Mary Simon recall parliament now before it's too late.
You mean Rubio’s team gave Joly and staff a seminar on how to negotiate subjects that Canadians can’t use gender or race as a basis for argument.
Naive Canadians thinking their opinion matters. Canadians literally just had a head of state elected by one party. 🤷♂️
😂😅
Canada keeps putting the puck in it's own net, 51st🇺🇲💪
🤳🇨🇦 please wear your helmets Canadians and don't chew gum. 🤣🤣🤣
Unfortunately Rubio chose to repeat and defend DJTs insults regarding Canada being annexed by the US. It’s unbelievable and entirely unacceptable that a visitor to our country would be so rude and disrespectful
PM Mark Carney out smart d.trump let's wait and see.
Thank God Trump isn't allowed in Canada 🇨🇦 He is a Criminal….
When Trump says “the only way Canada works is as a state” it’s the most profoundly ridiculous statement any US president has ever made considering Canada has worked as a partner and ally for over a hundred years…. So how do you figure it only works as a state? Senseless rhetoric from a dictator who aims to rule the world.
USA is going to stand alone going forward. Americans will suffer dearly as USA will be drastically impacted economically.
Rubio was extremely disrespectful by reiterating Canada becoming the 51st state!!!! This was unbelievable! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
The cope from Canadians is wild. I almost feel bad
Canadians will never trust US voters again…….they can vote in a criminal at any time….a fraudster and a thief.
