Canadian university teachers warned against non-essential travel to US

The association that represents academic staff at Canadian universities is warning its members against non-essential travel to the United States. The Canadian Association of University Teachers released updated travel advice Tuesday due to the political landscape created by President Donald Trump's administration and reports of some Canadians encountering difficulties crossing the border. The association says academics who are from countries that have tense diplomatic relations with the United States, or who have themselves expressed negative views about the Trump administration, should be particularly cautious about US travel. Its warning is particularly targeted to academics who identify as transgender or whose research could be seen as being at odds with the position of the current U.S. administration. In addition, the association says academics should carefully consider what information they have, or need to have, on their electronic devices when crossing the border, and take .

Indian auto parts makers in Canada, Mexico see no major impact of tariffs

Indian auto component makers having manufacturing facilities in Canada and Mexico will face no significant impact of US President Donald Trump's latest tariff war as the two countries have been exempted from additional duties. Due to the existing order under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) related to fentanyl and migration, the White House confirmed that the new tariffs announced on Wednesday will not apply to Canada and Mexico. Subsequently, US-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) compliant goods from both the countries will attract zero duty while non-compliant items will face a 25 per cent tariff. Indian auto component makers such as Samvardhana Motherson International Ltd have already stated that with a significant part of their products being USMCA-compliant, Trump's orders may not have any material impact. "A significant part of the products supplied by the company and/or its subsidiaries to its various customers in the US are either manufactured in the US

Donald Trump calls first talk with new Canadian PM 'extremely productive'

US President Donald Trump said Friday that his first call with new Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney was extremely productive and Carney said Trump respected Canada's sovereignty both in private and public but added that the relationship has changed. The call came as Trump has declared a trade war on Canada and has threatened to use economic coercion to make Canada the 51st US state, a position that has infuriated Canadians. Trump avoided any mention of that in his social media post and in public remarks later. "We had a very good conversation. Mark called me," Trump said. We had a very very good talk. He's going through an election. We'll see what happens. Trump didn't refer to the prime minister as governor as he did with Carney's predecessor Justin Trudeau. The US president, in his social media post, said the two sides agree on many things and will be meeting immediately after Canada's upcoming Election to work on elements of Politics, Business, and all other factors, that wil

Amid trade war, Canada's PM Mark Carney to speak soon with Donald Trump

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney on Thursday said he would speak with US President Donald Trump in the coming days after the latter announced 25 per cent tariffs on auto imports. Carney, who hasn't spoken with Trump since becoming Canada's new leader nearly two weeks ago, said the US president reached out on Wednesday night to schedule a call. "We will be speaking soon, certainly in the course of the next day or two," Carney said. He also said that Trump has to respect Canada's sovereignty. "That's not much to ask, but apparently it's a lot for him," he said. Trump has declared a trade war on Canada and continues to call for the United States' northern neighbour to become the 51st US state, a position that has infuriated Canadians. Carney was sworn in as Canada's new prime minister on March 14. It's unusual for a US president and Canadian prime minister to go so long without talking after a new leader takes office. Carney, who replaced Justin Trudeau as Canada's leader and th

Canadian PM Carney calls Trump's auto tariffs 'direct attack' on country

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney on Wednesday said that US President Donald Trump's auto tariffs are a "direct attack" on his country and that the trade war is hurting Americans, noting that American consumer confidence is at a multi-year low. Trump on Wednesday said he was placing 25 per cent tariffs on auto imports and, to underscore his intention, he stated that "this is permanent". "This is a very direct attack. We will defend our workers. We will defend our companies. We will defend our country," Carney responded. Carney also said he needs to see the details of Trump's executive order before taking retaliatory measures. He called it unjustified and said he will leave the election campaign to go to Ottawa on Thursday to chair his special Cabinet committee on US relations. Carney earlier announced a USD $1.4 billion "strategic response fund" that will protect Canadian auto jobs affected by Trump's tariffs. Autos are Canada's second largest export, and Carney noted it employ
