🇺🇸💥U.S. President Donald Trump raises tariffs on Canadian goods to 35%💥
U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order raising tariffs on Canadian goods from 25% to 35%, effective midnight on Friday, citing Canada’s failure to cooperate in stopping the flow of fentanyl and illicit drugs across the border.
The higher tariff excludes goods traded under the USMCA free trade agreement but targets other imports, with additional measures against goods transshipped via third countries.

🩺 Canadians' health data at risk of being handed over to U.S. authorities, experts warn
Canadians' electronic health records need more protections to prevent foreign entities from accessing patient data, according to commentary in the Canadian Medical Association Journal.
Electronic medical records systems from clinics and hospitals — containing patients' personal health information — are often controlled by U.S. companies. The data is encrypted and primarily stored on cloud servers in Canada, but because those are owned by American companies, they are subject to American laws.

💰Canada's trade deficit widened in June to second largest on record
Canada's merchandise trade deficit widened in June to C$5.9 billion ($4.24 billion) as imports grew faster than exports due to a one-time high-value oil equipment import.

📈 Record number of people leaving B.C., mostly for Alberta and Ontario
Economic perspectives from the Business Council of British Columbia, which tracked interprovincial migration, found that out-migration of B.C. residents to other provinces surged to almost 70,000 people over the last few years.
The business council said this was a record level — by comparison, the next closest peaks in out-migration were 64,000 in 1998 and 65,000 in 1975.
Meanwhile, the report found that people moving to B.C. from across Canada dropped to around 55,000, which is below the long-term average of around 62,000.
The majority of people who left B.C. went to either Alberta or Ontario, with two-thirds of those leaving being under the age of 40.
