Canada Not Rushing a Bad Trade Deal With US, Minister Leblanc Says

Canada’s minister responsible for US trade, Dominic Leblanc, said Canada is in no rush to strike a bad agreement even as US tariffs create difficult conditions for parts of the Canadian economy. Leblanc said he has repeatedly made that position clear to US Trade Representative Greer, and that Washington has conveyed its own lack of urgency twice a week since trade talks collapsed on August 21.

The mutual acknowledgment of no urgency is itself the signal: both sides are comfortable letting the current tariff environment persist rather than conceding terms, which shifts the near-term risk from a deal to prolonged friction. That matters most for tariff-exposed Canadian sectors, where difficult conditions are already the baseline. The open question is whether either side's calculus changes before the current posture hardens into the default.
