Prime Minister Mark Carney's cabinet is holding closed-door meetings in Banff, Alberta, to plan the federal legislative agenda for the upcoming fall sitting of Parliament amid an escalating trade war with the United States. The cabinet retreat follows U.S. President Donald Trump's signing of executive orders to ban certain Canadian imports later in the month, including alcohol, motorcycles, and dairy products. This U.S. action is part of an ongoing tit-for-tat trade dispute after Ottawa levied tens of billions of dollars in counter-tariffs following the breakdown of bilateral trade negotiations.
