The Supreme Court’s decision to strike down the use of IEEPA tariff powers is a legal ruling, not a reset of U.S. trade policy. "This is certainly not the last chapter of this never-ending story" says our CEO Candace Laing in a new statement. ⤵️ #cdnpoli hubs.ly/Q0441y630

The Defence Industrial Strategy shows it has listened to industry and is betting big on Canada. This scale of new funding is unprecedented, but the true measure of success will depend on how these dollars translate into real readiness. Our statement ⤵️ hubs.ly/Q043qhxJ0

Productivo conversatorio junto a @laingcandace, presidenta y directora ejecutiva de @CdnChamberofCom, en el marco de la visita de la delegación empresarial 🇨🇦 más grande que haya venido a 🇲🇽. Hablamos ampliamente sobre los esfuerzos por profundizar nuestra integración comercial.

We’re off to a strong start as one of Canada’s largest trade missions begins in Mexico. Our Canadian delegation of 370 business leaders is already having productive talks to unlock new trade opportunities and deepen our partnership. Team Canada is ready! 🇨🇦🇲🇽

Mexico is Canada's third-largest trading partner, yet it accounts for just 1.1% of our exports. That’s striking given we’ve shared a continental free trade agreement for 30+ years and are geographically close. So why aren’t we trading more? Our op-ed ⤵️ hubs.ly/Q043p3Ms0

Our President & CEO Candace Laing joined @CTVNews's Power Play today to discuss why the team is in Mexico City this week alongside @CanadaTrade — and why strengthening 🇨🇦🇲🇽 cooperation is critical as we look ahead to the next phase of #CUSMA negotiations. #CCCMexicoMission

Mexico City, we’re here 🇲🇽 Alongside the @CanadaTrade Mission, we’re kicking off our 3-day Mission to Mexico City on #CUSMA, bringing 30+ Canadian business and chamber leaders together at a pivotal moment for North American trade. #CCCinMexico #TeamCanada #CUSMA2026

Happy #CdnAgDay!🌾 Today we celebrate the farmers, producers & agri-food businesses who feed Canadians, support rural communities and power our economy. Our ag sector is central to food security, trade and competitiveness; and the people behind it make that possible every day.

With trade accounting for over 1/3 of our GDP and 70% of exports going to the 🇺🇸, strong cross-border supply chains are more vital than ever. Join us in Washington this April for a Mission on the future of North American manufacturing and supply chains: hubs.ly/Q0421grW0
