White House economic adviser Kevin Hassett also said on Sunday that a trade deal was close, Bloomberg reported. “I think it’s very close,” Hassett, director of the White House National Economic Council, said, adding that Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick (the Kobuscher of trade deals) been speaking with Canadian officials throughout the week?
However, there has been no confirmed breakthrough. Canada-U.S. Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc’s office said the government will assess the latest tariff measures and that “Canada stands ready to work constructively and in good faith towards a more mutually beneficial trading relationship” with the U.S. The latest comments from Trump and Hassett, were preceded by Trump claiming last Friday that Canada was “working very hard” to make a trade deal with the U.S.
However, Prime Minister Mark Carney said during a press conference on the same day that Canada “could sign it this afternoon if the U.S. were there. If it has to be months from now or longer than that, or another administration before a proper deal comes into place, we will do that,” National Post reported. When asked whether Canada could sign a deal with the Americans before the U.S. midterms, Carney did not close the door on that possibility, but he said the U.S. is “hard to predict.”
Trump is facing pressure about the tariffs from several fronts. For example, the levies on steel and aluminum have been a “disaster” for the U.S. economy, fuelling inflation and failing to spark promised growth in those industries, according to a recently released think tank report, National Post previously noted.

I’m no fan of Carney, but I’ve watched over the last better part of two years Trump’s administrations coercion not just of Canada, but of several other nations from Cuba to Venezuela to Denmark, the EU, etc…& no deal might be much better than a bad deal at this point. The concept relies on knowing your BATNA (Best Alternative to a Negotiated Agreement). If the deal on the table is worse than your fallback position, walking away is the mathematically and strategically superior choice in most situations.
PM Carney says ‘U.S. is coming closer to our position’ as trade talks gain momentum — CTV News
Amid reporting by CTV News that trade talks between Canada and the U.S. are gaining momentum, Mark Carney said the Trump administration is 'coming closer to our position.'
Solid waste imports from Canada reached almost 3.2 million tonnes, down 8 per cent from FY 2024, when 3.5 million tonnes of solid waste was imported to Michigan from Canada. Meanwhile, other U.S. states made up less than 4 per cent of waste disposed of in Michigan landfills in 2025. Waste that originated in Michigan made up 82 per cent.Meanwhile, Michigan’s landfill tipping fees are relatively low. Last year, Michigan’s Governor Gretchen Whitmer recommended increasing fees from the solid waste surcharge from 36 cents per tonne to US$5 per ton in the 2026 fiscal budget proposal.
The proposal said this would bring Michigan in line with the average Midwest tipping fee as well as “directly addressing the volume of out-of-state waste.”
Municipal and clinical waste are among the new items that will be subject to 50 per cent tariffs from Oct. 30, under an amendment issued by the White House on Friday. On Friday, Rogers called the new tariffs on waste coming from Canada “huge progress” in a video posted on social media, adding Canada’s “trash trucks” have been “a huge problem” for Michigan.
Rogers has been raising the issue of Canadian waste imports for decades. In a floor speech in the U.S. House in 2002, he said that Canada sent 4.2 million cubic yards of waste to Michigan in the year 2000, and expressed concerns about the environmental impact on Michigan. In 2003, Rogers backed a Bill that would have amended the Solid Waste Disposal Act to allow states to enact laws prohibiting or limiting the receipt of waste from other countries, but it never made it past the committee stage.
($0.36USD/tonne and add a 50%Trumpiff = $0.54USD = $0.76CAD/tonne in Canadian Pesos. That’ll learn’em!!! Even if Gretchen got her way and it was $5USD plus a 50%Trumpiff so $7.50USD = $10.53 in Northern Pesos…)
“I called the secretary’s office a few days ago and said, ‘Listen, we need some relief on Canadian tariffs. But if you’re going to tariff anything, tariff those trash trucks,'” Ol’Buck said.
For some perspective, here’s the rates locally for us folks in the city whose name rhymes with fun:
But the Michigan Senate hopeful hasn’t always been so emphatic in his support of Trump’s trade war, having previously broken ranks in a campaign video shared on social media. “Here in Michigan, we know that Canada is not our enemy. We need to end this tariff war now. As Michigan senator, I’ll bring both parties together to lower your prices,” he said in the clip released three weeks ago…? & previous to that he was goose stepping to Trump‘s tariffs, and cheerleading the extortion of the Gordie Howe Bridge. Go figure.
Meanwhile, Michigan has become a key battleground for the upcoming U.S. midterms and is currently considered a toss-up for the Senate race by The Cook Political Report.

Yes we are joined at the hip , let’s see if we can get a better deal in China or the E U . Blame Trump . If the Liberal PMO who run this country wanted a deal we would have one , with the autopac still functional , we nstead where are we ?I’m no fan of Carney, but I’ve watched over the last better part of two years Trump’s administrations coercion not just of Canada, but of several other nations from Cuba to Venezuela to Denmark, the EU, etc…& no deal might be much better than a bad deal at this point.

The exported waste was sent primarily to Michigan, New York and Ohio.

We’re always gonna be geographically in a position where America is our largest trading partner, but that doesn’t mean we have be completely submissive to something like the Trump administration. We too have value in both bilateral and trilateral trade in North America, but that doesn’t mean we cannot diversify somewhat, so all of our eggs are not in the same basket.
Michigan does some US$67-billion in annual trade with Canada. According to calculations by the National Taxpayers Union Foundation, the state has taken a US$23-billion hit from Mr. Trump’s tariffs since the start of last year, equal to US$5,619 per resident. This unnecessary trade war is hurting both nations and the people in both nations.
