Canada's Economy Grows Amid Ongoing Trade War Tensions
Canada's economy rebounded in the second quarter, growing at a rate of 3.3%, but this momentum may be threatened by the ongoing US-Canada trade war.
The Canadian government has been countering US tariffs with its own counter-tariffs, which have drawn mixed reactions from various sectors. An IPSOS poll showed strong support for Ottawa's counter-tariff response.
However, not all Canadians are pleased with the government's actions. Some immigrant groups in Alberta claim that racism is increasing in the province and is linked to the independence referendum.
In a separate issue, US President Donald Trump recently signed an executive order renaming Lake Ontario to 'Lake America', which was met with opposition from the Ontario government.
