Trade-Offs in Sustainable Development? The Relationship Between the Sustainable Development Goals and Circular Economy Outcomes in the European Union
1 Introduction Since the publication of the Brundtland Report in 1987 (World Commission on Environment and Development 1987), countries worldwide have increasingly addressed the challenges related to sustainable development. In 2015, the United Nations (UN) created 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) ranging from the elimination of poverty to protecting life below water, and 193 member countries have committed to fulfil them by 2030.
Opinion | Five Trump trade war myths debunked. What every Canadian needs to know to weather the storm
In war, the first casualty is truth. This venerable adage applies perfectly to U.S. President Donald Trump’s trade war with Canada. Since Prime Minister Mark Carney decided not to accept the U.S. president’s trade terms on Aug. 21, Trump and his cabinet have unleashed a storm of misinformation. They aim to justify the conflict to disapproving Americans, and to divide and demoralize defiant Canadians.

Opinion | Canada has more leverage over Donald Trump than most realize — and it’s time we use it
Last Friday night, as Canadian and U.S. negotiators seemed close to a trade deal, I went to bed angry. For my entire adult life, I’ve championed free trade and free enterprise. I proudly began my career in the government that negotiated the original North American Free Trade Agreement.
Build more. Make more. Buy more from ourselves
Opinion It should not be easier to do business across an international border than across a provincial one. Eliminating interprovincial trade barriers would strengthen Canada’s economy, improve productivity and create new opportunities for businesses and workers across the country.
Opinion | Donald Trump is ignoring trade deals. Here are 7 ways Mark Carney can fight back
In peacetime, bridges are symbols. In wartime, they are targets. That’s why the Gordie Howe bridge between Windsor and Detroit became the front line of U.S. President Donald Trump’s trade war on Canada. Canada invested $6.4 billion to build the bridge, creating a new artery in a corridor carrying $1 billion in daily bilateral trade. Announced in 2012 by Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Michigan’s Republican governor, it symbolized a prosperous partnership.

Opinion | The $200-billion trade problem Canada’s premiers could solve this week — if they have the will Original
Today, Canada’s premiers will arrive in Charlottetown, P.E.I. for their annual summer meeting — not far from where their predecessors gathered to conceive Canada in 1864. But while the Fathers of Confederation agreed to form a new nation, they didn’t agree to free trade within its borders.

Opinion | Don’t feed the crocodile: When it comes to CUSMA and Donald Trump, some lessons for Mark Carney Original
Just over a year ago, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer was quite chuffed. After Donald Trump announced punishing tariffs on goods from America’s major trading partners, Starmer became the first to strike a deal with the U.S. president. In exchange for substantial new access to the U.K. market for American agricultural exports, Trump agreed to lower tariffs on British goods to 10 per cent, down from 25 per cent.
Opinion | No drama, all business: Mark Carney’s majority and the return of big-tent politics
Carney’s rise from central bank governor and business executive to leader of a majority government — without having ever held public office before becoming PM — is one of the most unusual political stories in Canadian history. To understand why he won, it’s helpful to look back on a moment when he lost. It was another April evening, a year ago this very week: the night of the English-language leaders’ debate in the 2025 election.

Opinion | Trump tariff’s report card: Canadian resilience amid uncertainty for business
The Peterborough businessman looked uncomfortable. It was March 2025, and I had just asked him how his small manufacturing firm was adapting to Donald Trump’s tariffs. After an awkward silence, he expressed his frustration succinctly: “I don’t know what I need to know, and I don’t know whom to ask.” At the time, Canada had a new prime minister, and a freshly re-elected Ontario premier.
While Trump upends the gameboard, here's what Carney needs to do to see his 'new world order' succeed
A year ago, after Donald Trump took office, broke his own trade agreement with Canada and called for our nation to become America’s 51st state, a thoughtful U.S. diplomat sought to reassure me that our countries would remain strong partners. “America First,” he said, “need not mean America alone.” These words came to mind as the world watched Trump and Prime Minister Mark Carney speak this week from this year’s World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

Opinion: Toronto is the natural home for the Defence, Security and Resilience Bank
Skip to Content Canadian cities should not fight among themselves. Canada's financial capital is the clear choice for this country's bid With global security and our world order increasingly at risk, financing has become a critical enabler of defence, resilience and economic security.
Daniel Tisch: YYZ means Toronto: Economically, cities and their air hubs are joined at the hip
The next time you fly to another country, take a look at your boarding pass and the code that says what airport you’re flying to. Does it conjure up an image of runways and terminals, or does it make you think about the destination city itself? I’ll bet you think about the city—its cultural icons, its economy, its streetscape. The city’s essence, boiled down to three letters. When people see LHR—London Heathrow—they see London: Big Ben, the Royal Family, and a jam-packed tube station.
Time for corporate Canada to embrace Indigenous equity
Across Canada, a growing number of businesses now honour June as National Indigenous History Month. While this progress is worth celebrating, as June comes to an end we must ask a bigger question: What are businesses doing the rest of the year? Already a Subscriber?
Tisch: Cap-gains debate 'a tale of flawed policy, process, and politics'
Ontario Chamber of Commerce CEO weighs in on cap gains raise enacted today By Jun 25, 2024 Many Canadians are justifiably concerned about political polarization, particularly south of the border. The past week, however, we saw it in our own Parliament, in the debate over the federal government’s increase to the capital gains tax inclusion rate. This is an arcane topic for most people – the proportion of capital gains subject to taxes.
Sustainable development, environmental innovation and export firms: The moderating roles of external collaboration, creativity enhancement and internal development processes
1 INTRODUCTION As countries seek to enhance the prosperity and wellbeing of their citizens, they face numerous challenges. Among these, key challenges relate to identifying ways to not only generate economic growth but also generate economic growth that is environmentally sustainable (Kneller et al., 2008; Quah, 2015).
Navigating the age of information warfare
‚ÄúThe very ‚Äėrules of war‚Äô have changed …. The information space opens wide asymmetrical possibilities for reducing the fighting potential of the enemy.‚ÄĚ ‚Äď General Valery Gerasimov, Russian Chief of the General Staff, 2013.
Leadership through communication: Six things leaders can control in 2022
As the world enters the third year of the COVID-19 pandemic, making predictions seems riskier than opening a lunch counter in a food court. There are three big reasons for this. The first is projection bias: the assumption that our current emotions, habits and preferences will continue indefinitely, or that we’ll automatically snap back to earlier attitudes and behavior.
Lessons from an election campaign Canadians didn’t want
With his trademark theatricality, Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau called Canada’s 44th federal election the most important one since 1945. Voters did not agree. After five weeks of watching the party leaders struggle to define what the election was about, Canadians effectively sent gave their MPs a “back-to-work” order, returning them to a Parliament that will look very much like the last one. It was a risk-averse campaign in a risk-averse time.
Former Vice-Chair of Board of Trustees establishes bursary for Indigenous business students

How the closing arguments of the 2021 election reflect where we are as a country
As Canada prepares to go to the polls next Monday, many Canadians find themselves poles apart. It is tempting to dismiss the 2021 federal election as a pointless exercise — called for no reason, with no defining issue, and with little change, so far, to the Liberal-Conservative stalemate that defined our politics in 2019. But if the campaign has changed little in voters’ preferences, it may reveal a lot about the state of the nation.
Debates shine spotlight on party leaders’ strengths and weaknesses
For Canadians, this is a week of facing responsibility. For kids, it’s going back to school. For adults, it’s paying attention to an election almost no one wanted — and to the choices we must make on Sept. 20. And like school kids on their first day, Canada’s party leaders will line up nervously beside with their peers at the French and English debates on Wednesday and Thursday nights, respectively.
Canada election: How the major party leaders stack up so far
Canada’s election campaign is shaping up to be less a clash of ideologies than what Freud called a narcissism of small differences. Sure, the leaders clashed on vaccination mandates. They sparred on child care, subsidies to businesses and workers, and climate change. But having seen the same polls, which show Canadians in a risk-averse mood, candidates are unified on the most significant issue: spending.
The U.S. 2020 Presidential Election
November 17, 2020 The 2020 U.S. presidential campaign was bitterly fought, and unfolded against the ominous backdrop of a worsening coronavirus pandemic. The aftermath has been just as acrimonious and turbulent, as president-elect Joe Biden formulates his governing plan, and outgoing President Donald Trump refuses to concede. This feature series takes a look at the election’s implications on different aspects of public policy – including Canada’s bilateral relationship.
What gives a nation a great reputation?
A new study sheds light on how nations build positive global reputations. Canada’s brand ranks at the top of the world’s biggest economies. Reputation has an unquestionable economic value to countries, just as it does to organizations and individual people. It is based on emotion and reason, the product of our impressions of a nation’s actions and its communications, as well as our deep-seated perceptions, stereotypes, influences and direct experiences.

The Elevation of Public Relations: From content to relationships (Column)
There’s a paradox in modern public relations: as a business, PR is thriving like never before, even as its best-known product – media relations – seems threatened by an erosion in traditional journalism. Why is public relations thriving? It’s all about the public, or publics. As consumers, citizens and stakeholders, we have lost trust in corporations, governments, leaders and institutions, just as we have gained global publishing power on our computers and smartphones.
