Canadian PM lifts some US tariffs, but unions and CFIB caution insufficient for business survival.

Canadian PM announces the removal of some counter-tariffs on US goods starting September 1, welcomed by the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB). CFIB warns that nearly 20% of small Canadian businesses facing tariff costs may not survive six months without changes. Despite some relief, tariffs on steel, aluminum, and auto remain, with CFIB urging the government to release tariff revenue to affected businesses quickly. Unions express concerns about the impacts on workers.
