Canada approved the C$10 billion ($7.3 billion) Ksi Lisims project, off the coast of British Columbia, to start exporting liquefied natural gas, amid a renewed focus on fossil fuels by the administration of Prime Minister Mark Carney.The floating LNG export facility, owned by Western LNG, a Blackstone-backed company, as well as Rockies LNG Partners and the indigenous group Nisga’a Nation, is expected to begin operations by late 2028 or early 2029. The approval marked the first major federal project approval under Canada's new government.The project is expected to have an exporting capacity of 12 million tons per year, which will make it the second biggest LNG export project facility in the country after Shell-backed LNG Canada, which started exports earlier this year.“This summer, I heard from leaders across business and government that the world is looking to Canada for secure, reliable, clean energy. Today's approval is a major step toward delivering on that promise,” Energy Minister Tim Hodgson said in a statement.During a visit to Germany last month, he had criticized the government of former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for “closing the door for LNG exports.” The Canadian government, under Carney, has taken a softer stance on fossil fuels to bolster the economy amid the country’s ongoing trade war with the U.S.The move will also likely boost gas production in British Columbia, where companies such as Canadian Natural Resources, Ovintiv, and Tourmaline Oil operate. Retail sentiment on Stocktwits about <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/CNQ">Canadian Natural </a>and Ovintiv was in the ‘bearish’ territory at the time of writing, while traders were ‘neutral’ about Tourmaline.The 900-km Prince Rupert Gas Transmission pipeline, which will transport natural gas from gas-producing fields to the LNG facility, is already under construction.“Ksi Lisims LNG will provide 140-160 shipments per year of low-carbon LNG to global markets, helping our allies reduce emissions by shifting away from higher-emission fuel sources, often provided by less reliable nations,” Hodgson added.Also See: <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/bitcoin-retreats-ahead-of-fed-meeting-but-tom-lee-sees-price-rally/chwyB1uRdyi">Major Cryptos Retreat Ahead Of Fed Meeting — But Fundstrat’s Tom Lee Says Bitcoin, Ethereum Poised For ‘Monster Run’</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

Canada's Ssense, a leading e-commerce platform for luxury fashion clothing and accessories, announced on Thursday that it has filed for bankruptcy&nbsp;protection due to business disruptions caused by U.S. tariffs, according to a report in the fashion news site Vogue.Canada faces a 35% tariff on goods shipped into the U. S., with some exemptions. And now, with the de minimis exemption on low-value Canadian goods set to expire, retailers, in particular, are facing steep costs for importing to the U.S.The development is the latest indication of how U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs are disrupting businesses globally, particularly the small ones operating in niche categories.Italian retailer Luisaviaroma filed for bankruptcy earlier this month, citing macroeconomic headwinds, including the luxury slowdown, U.S. tariffs, and increasing transportation costs, as well as missteps in its own strategy.Ssense attributed the bankruptcy filing directly to higher costs incurred due to the U.S. tariff policy; however, Ssense's primary lender placed the company under Canada's Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act (CCAA) protection, triggering a sales process "without our consent", according to a Ssense spokesperson."We are deeply disappointed in this decision, which we believe does not serve the long-term interests of our 1,000+ employees, vendors, and partners," the spokesperson&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.voguebusiness.com/story/companies/ssense-files-for-bankruptcy-protection-under-weight-of-tariffs">told</a> Vogue."We will be filing our own CCAA application to safeguard the company, retain control of our assets and operations, and fight for the future of this business."Ssense laid off 8% of its workforce, or about 100 employees, in May.If Ssense were to fail, it would be another blow to fashion's independent designer brands, many of whom rely on Ssense as a retail partner, according to Vogue.Founded in 2003, Ssense curates high-end designer clothing, streetwear, and accessories, and blends retail with editorial content. It has a lone flagship store in Montreal, Quebec, which opened in 2018.So far this year, the&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/EWC">iShares MSCI Canada ETF (EWC)</a>, which tracks Canadian companies listed in the U.S., has gained 20%, nearly twice the gains in&nbsp;the&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/SPY">SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF (SPY)</a>.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.Read Next:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/now-opendoor-rival-offerpad-catches-the-meme-stock-bug/chtTGLxRdZJ">Now, Opendoor Rival Offerpad Catches The ‘Meme Stock’ Bug</a>

Canadian E-Tailer Ssense, Under Trump Tariff Strain, Files For Bankruptcy

The development is the latest indication of how U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs are disrupting businesses globally, particularly the small ones operating in niche categories.

Canada is looking to collaborate more closely with Mexico over a range of issues, including security and trade, its senior ministers said on Tuesday, following a meeting with President Claudia Sheinbaum.According to a Bloomberg <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-08-06/canada-and-mexico-to-cooperate-as-free-traders-facing-us-tariffs">report</a>, citing Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand, the two countries agreed to “build a work plan” covering “resilient supply chains, port-to-port lines of trade, artificial intelligence and the digital economy, energy security.” &nbsp;The meeting between Anand, the Canadian finance minister, Francois-Philippe Champagne, and Sheinbaum reportedly lasted over an hour. The two ministers are also expected to meet business leaders while in Mexico.According to the report, Anand noted that Mexico plays a critical role in the global economy, and Canada recognizes this and wants to leverage it to the advantage of the Canadian domestic economy. While Champagne reportedly said that Canada offers “a lot of opportunities to Mexico when it comes to critical minerals and the supply chain around that,” and energy security, before adding that both nations are “free traders.”The neighbors are seeking closer ties at a time when their relationship with the U.S. has soured due to President Donald Trump’s tariff salvo. Barring China, the two North American countries are the only ones facing U.S. tariffs on national security grounds for the inflow of drugs into the U.S.While U.S. government data has shown that only a tiny amount of fentanyl crosses into the U.S. through the Canadian border, Trump raised the tariffs on Canada to 35% earlier this month, citing its failure to curb the flow of drugs, a charge Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has denied.However, Trump and Sheinbaum extended a tariff truce between the two countries for another 90 days. Canada has retaliated against Trump’s tariffs by imposing levies on U.S. goods, while Mexico hasn’t. However, on Tuesday, Carney seemingly softened his stance and hinted at lowering tariffs if required to benefit Canadian industries.Retail sentiment on Stocktwits about <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/EWW">iShares MSCI Mexico ETF</a> (EWW) was in the ‘neutral’ territory, while traders were ‘bearish’ on iShares MSCI Canada ETF (EWC) at the time of writing.Champagne reportedly added that the U.S.-Mexico-Canada (USMCA) is an “essential element of competitiveness in North America,” with talks about renegotiating the pact slated for next year. The U.S. has so far exempted goods under the agreement from the tariffs.Also See: <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/trump-tariffs-squeezing-us-fertilizer-flows-warns-industry-giant-mosaic/chr1SfwRd2y">Trump Tariffs Squeezing US Fertilizer Flows, Warns Industry Giant Mosaic After Q2 Miss Sends Stock Sliding</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

Canada and Mexico are seeking closer ties at a time when their relationship with the U.S. has soured due to President Donald Trump’s tariff salvo. 

Trump’s Tariffs Drive Canada, Mexico Toward Closer Partnership To Forge 'Resilient Supply Chains'

 Canadian Finance Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne reportedly said that the U.S.-Mexico-Canada (USMCA) is an “essential element of competitiveness in North America.”

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said Ottawa was disappointed over U.S. President Donald Trump’s latest move to raise tariffs on Canadian goods to 35% from 25%, but would carry on trade negotiations with its southern neighbor.The new tariffs were imposed by Trump in an executive order on Thursday, which said that Canada “failed to cooperate” with the U.S. to curb the flow of illicit drugs like fentanyl. However, the tariffs do not apply to goods compliant with the U.S.-Mexico-Canada (USMCA) trade agreement.In a statement <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/MarkJCarney/status/1951136566509801740">posted</a> on X, Carney said that while the Canadian government is disappointed by the tariff move, it will remain committed to the USMCA. He added that his government will work to protect jobs and invest in “industry competitiveness” for sectors such as autos, lumber, and steel, which will be the most affected by the tariffs. The bilateral trade between the two countries stood at $762.1 billion in 2024.Retail sentiment on Stocktwits on <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/EWC">iShares MSCI Canada ETF</a> was in the ‘bearish’ territory at the time of writing.Carney also noted that Washington abiding by the USMCA has ensured that Canadian goods, on average, face one of the lowest tariffs among the trading partners of the U.S. He also added that Canada only accounts for 1% of all fentanyl shipments into the U.S., and his government is working intensively to reduce the volumes further.While the U.S. decided to impose additional tariffs on Canadian goods, Mexico was granted an extension of 90 days to negotiate a trade agreement following a phone call between Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum and Trump on Thursday morning.Trump had <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/oh-canada-trump-says-palestinian-recognition-makes-trade-deal-very-hard/choh69hR56P">said</a> early on Thursday that it would be “very hard” to make a deal with Canada, after Ottawa’s move to recognize Palestine during the United Nations General Assembly in September.

 Canada ‘Disappointed’ As Trump Hikes Tariffs To 35% Over Fentanyl Dispute: PM Carney Vows To Keep Talks Alive

The new tariffs were imposed by Trump in an executive order on Thursday, which said that Canada “failed to cooperate” with the U.S. to curb the flow of illicit drugs.

U.S. President Donald Trump said in the early hours of Thursday that it would be “very hard” for his administration to agree to a trade deal with Canada, after Prime Minister Mark Carney said he would recognize the Palestinian state in September."Wow! Canada has just announced that it is backing statehood for Palestine," he <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114945962278773358">posted</a> on Truth Social. "That will make it very hard for us to make a Trade Deal with them. Oh’ Canada!!!"A potential disagreement over Palestine is likely to flare up tensions again between the two North American neighbors amid ongoing trade negotiations. Trump had earlier threatened this month to impose 35% tariffs on all non-compliant Canadian exports under the U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade treaty, unless the two sides agreed to a deal.Retail sentiment on Stocktwits about <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/EWC">iShares MSCI Canada ETF</a> was in the ‘bearish’ territory at the time of writing.Trump’s warnings come after Canada joined a list of countries, including the UK and France, that have pledged to recognize the Palestinian state as Israel’s war on Gaza continues to claim lives. Carney reportedly stated that the recognition was contingent upon democratic reforms and Hamas's non-participation in any future elections.Currently, the U.S. applies a 25% tariff on Canadian imports that don’t comply with the USMCA. Canadian goods are also subject to Trump’s sectoral tariffs, such as 50% levies on steel and aluminum, as well as a 25% tariff on vehicles assembled in Canada.Carney had also said on Thursday that negotiations are still ongoing and may not conclude before the Aug. 1 deadline. The bilateral trade between the two countries stood at $762.1 billion in 2024.&nbsp;Also See: <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/lutnick-says-us-stuck-trade-deals-with-thailand-cambodia-following-ceasefire-but-details-unclear/chohyw2R56R">Lutnick Says US Struck Trade Deals With Thailand, Cambodia Following Ceasefire — But Details Unclear</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

‘Oh, Canada’ — Trump Says Palestinian Recognition Makes Trade Deal ‘Very Hard’

Trump’s warnings come after Canada joined a list of countries, including the UK and France, that have pledged to recognize the Palestinian state.

Canada became the latest nation to receive a letter from President Donald Trump over the fate of tariffs if a bilateral deal isn’t struck by the Aug. 1 deadline.The screenshot of the letter shared by the president on his Truth Social account warned that a 35% levy will be imposed on Canadian products&nbsp;entering U.S. shores. As was outlined in the letters sent to the other nations earlier this week, he clarified that this rate is&nbsp;in addition to the sectoral tariffs in place.Trump also&nbsp;reiterated that transshipped goods will incur additional levies, while companies can avoid the steep tariffs if they decide to build or manufacture products in the U.S. Any retaliation will be met with tariffs raised to the same magnitude, the president said.&nbsp;Trump highlighted the steep 400% tariffs Canada charges on U.S. dairy imports as he discussed its North American neighbor’s tariff and non-tariff policies and trade barriers that have served to push deficits to unsustainable levels.“If Canada works with me to stop the flow of Fentanyl, we will perhaps consider an adjustment to this letter,” he added.Trump’s recent spate of letters, though creating uncertainty in the minds of traders, hasn’t deterred the market’s climb to a record high. Although the market showed volatility this week, the S&amp;P 500 Index reached a new record high on Thursday.The&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/SPY">SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF (SPY)</a>, an exchange-traded fund (ETF) that tracks the S&amp;P 500 Index, has gained 7.4% year-to-date. SPY was among the top 10 trending tickers on Stocktwits late Thursday, but sentiment toward the ETF stayed ‘bearish.’Meanwhile, the&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/EWC">iShares MSCI Canada ETF (EWC)</a> has gained about 16% this year.Canada has been&nbsp;on the receiving end ever since Trump assumed office. Immediately after his inauguration, he threatened the country and Mexico with a 25% levy “until such time as Drugs, in particular Fentanyl, and all Illegal Aliens stop this Invasion of our Country!”The U.S. announced a 25% tariff on Canadian goods and a levy on energy and potassium exports from the country on March 4, followed by a 25% tariff on Canadian steel and aluminum products.A 25% tariff came into effect on auto and auto part imports that were not compliant with the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA). Canada currently enjoys tariff exemption for goods traded under the USMCA, which came into effect on July 1, 2020. Trump did not clarify on Thursday whether this concession&nbsp;would be extended.&nbsp;Last week, just before a “Digital Services Tax” proposed by Canada against big tech companies was set to take effect, Trump threatened to pause trade talks, forcing Mark Carney’s administration to come around.&nbsp;Separately, Trump reportedly&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-tariffs-inflation-hasbro-ukraine-patriot-missiles-nato-russia-rcna218125">stated</a> in a phone interview with NBC that countries&nbsp;not included on the list of over 20 countries to which he dispatched letters this week will face “blanket tariffs” of 15-20%.“We’re just going to say all of the remaining countries are going to pay, whether it’s 20% or 15%.

The POTUS highlighted the steep 400% tariffs Canada charges on U.S. dairy imports as he discussed its North American neighbor’s tariff and non-tariff policies and trade barriers that have served to push deficits to unsustainable levels.

Canada could soon propose building an oil pipeline to the country’s west coast as a project of national importance, Prime Minister Mark Carney said in an interview with a newspaper.“I would think, given the scale of the economic opportunity, the resources we have, the expertise we have, that it is highly, highly likely that we will have an oil pipeline,” Carney said in the interview with the Calgary Herald published on Sunday.Carney’s comments follow the Canadian Parliament's passage of the C-5 bill, which earmarks several projects as key to national growth, accelerates their development, and removes internal trade barriers. The Liberal Prime Minister said his government will also back a proposed C$16.5 billion ($12 billion) carbon capture and storage project for Alberta’s oil sands, a longstanding demand of Canadian energy firms.Retail sentiment on Stocktwits about the <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/EWC">iShares MSCI Canada ETF</a> (EWC) was in the ‘neutral’ territory.Speaking during his visit to the annual Calgary Stampede, Carney suggested that the proposal might not come from the government but rather from the oil industry. “The private sector is going to drive it... We’ve got legislation, but we’ve also got the people in place at the federal level who can get things done.”Several industry officials and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith have lobbied for a new pipeline with a capacity of 1 million barrels per day of crude oil, connecting landlocked Alberta to a port in British Columbia. The energy industry aims to capitalize on the growing demand for Canadian crude and reduce its reliance on the United States. Over 90% of Canadian exports currently go to the U.S.“I am confident that my government will do everything we can so that those projects can be built,” Carney said.A combined C$280 billion worth of Canadian oil and natural gas projects have been canceled over the past decade due to concerns over economic feasibility, according to the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers. The Trans Mountain Pipeline expansion, which began operating last year, is expected to reach full capacity by the end of the decade.The iShares MSCI Canada ETF has gained nearly 16% this year, compared with 7% gains in the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF (SPY).Also See: <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/gold-prices-fall-after-trump-cabinet-members-signal-extension-of-tariff-deadline/chFtI6rRPzm">Gold Prices Fall After Trump Cabinet Members Signal Extension Of Tariff Deadline</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

Canada Premier Carney Signals Federal Support For New Oil Pipeline To West Coast

Canada opted to scrap a digital services tax on U.S. tech companies after U.S. President Donald Trump threatened to terminate all trade discussions with the country over the issue.&nbsp;The suspension of the tax came just a day before the first payments fell due. The tax was enacted last year and allowed the Canadian government to collect payments retrospectively from 2022, from both domestic and overseas tech companies.&nbsp;Canadian officials had previously implied that they would not rescind the tax despite the pressure from the U.S.The development should bring relief to traders who are concerned about Trump’s steep “Liberation Day tariffs,” which are set to take effect if deals aren’t struck by the July 9 deadline for most nations.The&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/SPY">SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF (SPY)</a>, an exchange-traded fund (ETF) tracking the broader S&amp;P 500 Index, has gained 5.55% this year, and the&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/EWC">iShares MSCI Canada ETF (EWC)</a> is up about 14%.A statement from Canada’s Department of Finance on Sunday&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.canada.ca/en/department-finance/news/2025/06/canada-rescinds-digital-services-tax-to-advance-broader-trade-negotiations-with-the-united-states.html">said</a>, “Canada would rescind the Digital Services Tax (DST) in anticipation of a mutually beneficial comprehensive trade arrangement with the United States.”The DST was announced in 2020 to address the loophole that allowed large tech companies operating in Canada to avoid paying tax on revenues generated by Canadians.&nbsp;The Canadian government said, “Consistent with this action, Prime Minister [Mark] Carney and President Trump have agreed that parties will resume negotiations with a view towards agreeing on a deal by July 21, 2025.”This timeline was&nbsp;established at the G7 Leaders’ Summit in Kananaskis earlier this month.&nbsp;That finance department statement also said, “Prime Minister Carney has been clear that Canada will take as long as necessary, but no longer, to achieve that deal.”U.S. business and tech groups have been lobbying for a delay in the payment date or renegotiation of the policy altogether.&nbsp;For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.Read Next:&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/sp-500-posied-to-extend-record-run-in-new-week/chmZ2XHRRef">S&amp;P 500 Poised To Extend Record Run In New Week As Traders Scramble To ‘Get Ahead’ Of Rate Cuts — Why This Analyst Calls For Bigger Gains Ahead</a>
