Canada announces targeted countermeasures and substantive support for workers and businesses in response to U.S. tariffs
To support Canadian workers and businesses impacted by U.S. tariffs, the government is also introducing a $7.5 billion package of new and enhanced measures that deliver fast, simple and agile supports to Canadian workers and businesses, building on the nearly $25 billion in supports the government has provided since the implementation of the U.S. unjustified tariffs.
This package includes:
- an additional $1.5 billion investment through the Regional Tariff Response Initiative, delivered by Canada's regional development agencies (RDAs), to help small and medium-sized enterprises, including liquidity supports to manage the pressures related to tariffs.
- a new $500 million liquidity stream under the Business Development Bank of Canada’s Pivot to Grow program to help businesses manage immediate cash-flow pressures in addition to targeted programs for the forestry, steel and aluminum sectors.
- broadened access to the Business Development Bank of Canada’s tariff related programs by lowering the minimum revenue requirement for applicants to $1 million.
- an additional $2 billion investment through the new Canada Strong Diversification Fund, to support tariff-affected businesses with shovel-ready projects that support ongoing capital maintenance. This new initiative will work closely with RDA programming for project intake and triage.
- a new suite of $3.5 billion Rapid Response Supports for Workers and Employers to help Canadians affected by tariffs. This will help workers access income support when they need it through extended and additional EI temporary flexibilities; and support their transition into new opportunities through new investments in training delivered in the workplace and enhancements to JobBank.gc.ca. This will also help employers keep their workforce through a difficult period with the help of the new Worker Retention and Retraining Program (WRRP).
- new flexibilities to the Large Enterprise Tariff Loan facility, administered by the Canada Enterprise Emergency Funding Corporation (CEEFC).

Southeast Alberta receives provincial funding to strengthen agri-food sector
The Alberta government is investing in Southeast Alberta’s agri-food sector through a regional initiative to attract investment, support producers and advance agricultural innovation.
The County of Forty Mile is receiving a Northern and Regional Economic Development grant for the $156,600 project, which was identified through the Southeast Alberta Economic Opportunity Strategy released in 2025. The initiative brings together the City of Medicine Hat, Town of Redcliff, County of Forty Mile, Town of Bow Island and Village of Foremost, along with industry and institutional partners.
The project will create shared tools and resources designed to make the region more investment-ready and help municipalities and producers navigate development and regulatory requirements.
The Government of Canada extends the federal fuel excise tax relief on gasoline, diesel, and aviation fuels
To help Canadians facing rising fuel costs, the Government of Canada introduced a temporary suspension of the federal fuel excise tax on gasoline, aviation gasoline (leaded and unleaded), diesel fuel, and other aviation fuel earlier this year. The Honourable François-Philippe Champagne, Minister of Finance and National Revenue, announced that the government is extending the temporary suspension of the federal fuel excise tax until January 31, 2027, and applying 50% of the regular excise tax rate from February 1 through March 31, 2027. This will bring down everyday costs for Canadians, including truckers and businesses in the food, agriculture, housing, construction, and delivery sectors.

Alberta on track for sixth straight surplus
Alberta's finances have improved significantly with the 2026-27 first-quarter fiscal update putting the province on track for a $2-billion surplus. With year-end results for 2025-26 also expected to land in surplus, Alberta's government is on track to report five consecutive surpluses, with a sixth now in sight for 2026-27. The Alberta Heritage Savings Trust Fund is on track to meet or exceed the Budget 2026 forecasts of growing to $32.1 billion by 2026-27 year end.
Total revenue for 2026-27 is forecast at $86.3 billion, $11.7 billion more than Budget 2026. This is primarily due to an increase of $9.7 billion from budget in non-renewable resource revenue, to a forecast of $23 billion. The updated Q1 forecast for the price of West Texas Intermediate (WTI) oil for 2026-27 is US$73.50 per barrel, an increase of US$13 per barrel from the Budget 2026 forecast of US$60.50. Read more.
Government of Canada launches Canada’s Responsible Data Centre Development Principles
Canada currently relies significantly on infrastructure and services based outside the country for the compute, cloud and data storage that power AI. Building more capacity here at home will give Canada greater resilience and choice, while helping Canadian researchers, innovators and businesses build, deploy and scale. On September 3, 2026, Canada announced Canada’s Responsible Data Center Development Principles.
The principles establish a common national framework for how Canada builds the data centre capacity it needs. The framework sets five clear expectations for data centre projects:
1. Data centres must create lasting local benefits.
2. Data centres must not shift electricity costs to Canadians.
3. Data centres must minimize water use and environmental impacts.
4. Data centres must be transparent about local impacts.
5. Data centres must bring strategic value to Canada.

Alberta’s government is investing in Canada’s first dip tank system in Dunmore
This new dunk tank will help prevent aquatic invasive species from entering Alberta’s waterways. The innovative system uses hot water to treat trailered watercraft, killing mussels, larvae and other invasive species on hulls, intakes, engines and ballast tanks. The tank is large enough to fully submerge watercraft and is particularly effective for large boats with ballast systems that can be difficult to clean. Read more
“Southern Alberta knows how important reliable, healthy water systems are to families, farmers and communities. This dip tank pilot is a smart investment that will help protect our lakes, rivers and irrigation infrastructure from invasive mussels before they can take hold.”
- Justin Wright, MLA for Cypress-Medicine Hat

“Cypress County is pleased to see continued provincial investment in protecting Alberta’s waterways and critical water infrastructure. The addition of this new dip tank strengthens the important work being done at watercraft inspection stations to prevent invasive mussels and other aquatic invasive species from entering our region. These proactive measures help safeguard our irrigation systems, ecosystems and water resources for communities, agriculture and future generations.”

Cypress County elected officials set for three international trade missions
Cypress County Council approved several development and policy items at its meeting on Tuesday, including plans to send the council on international trade missions, two subdivision applications and amendments to the county’s land-use bylaw.
The county will send three elected officials to the missions, with Councillor Robin Kurpjuweit travelling to Tokyo, Councillor Michelle McKenzie attending PACK EXPO in Chicago and Mayor Dan Hamilton heading to Frankfurt for the European event. The CanExport Community Investments program will cover up to 60 per cent of eligible costs, up to a maximum of $32,250.
These missions are part of the county’s economic development strategy, which prioritizes investment attraction and economic diversification.

County of Newell receives $5 Million in funding
Funded through ERA’s Continuous Intake Program, the Brooks Newell Hydrogen Project brings together the two critical elements required to successfully introduce hydrogen as a transportation fuel in Alberta. The first is the design and construction of a stand-alone hydrogen production and refueling facility (H2 Hub) capable of meeting local demand for clean hydrogen while also acting as a template for a future network of hydrogen refueling facilities.
The second is the creation of the market conditions essential to sustain the demand for hydrogen, including providing regional fleet owners (and their customers) with the information they must have to successfully begin to incorporate hydrogen into their operations. This will include the installation of dual-fuel hydrogen injection systems on a range of heavy-duty transport trucks and other equipment, including a farm tractor, owned and operated by public and private sector partners in the region.

The investment, funded through Alberta’s industry-supported Technology Innovation and Emissions Reduction (TIER) system, brings together projects announced by the Government of Alberta in August through three regional announcements focused on Calgary, Edmonton, and rural and northern Alberta.

Advocacy in Action
SOUTHEAST ALBERTA CHAMBER CALLS FOR PATHWAYS TO BUSINESS COMPETITIVENESS AND ECONOMIC RESILIENCE AMID ESCALATING CANADA-U.S. TRADE DISPUTE
The Southeast Alberta Chamber of Commerce is calling for immediate action to strengthen Canada's competitiveness, reduce regulatory barriers, improve internal trade, and diversify markets as the Canada-U.S. trade dispute enters a new phase of uncertainty.
Recent tariff actions by both Canada and the United States have increased pressure on businesses across Southeast Alberta. The region's economy relies on integrated North American supply chains and strong access to domestic and international markets. New tariffs and counter-tariffs are expected to increase costs, disrupt supply chains, delay investment decisions, and create further uncertainty for employers and workers.
The Canadian Chamber of Commerce recently described Canada-U.S. trade relations as entering "uncharted territory" and emphasized the importance of a coordinated effort to support businesses, workers, and families through a period of significant economic uncertainty.
The Chamber Network has been tasked with helping businesses navigate available supports and adapt to rapidly changing market conditions.
"Businesses in Southeast Alberta are resilient, but resilience alone is not a strategy, as they’ve dealt with challenge after challenge for over a decade now," said Aaron Fleming, President of the Southeast Alberta Chamber of Commerce. "This trade dispute underscores the need to address long-standing barriers that limit Canada's competitiveness. We need policies that encourage Canadian businesses to do business within Canada, and the infrastructure to do so. We need governments and governance that encourage international trade and open the routes up to business. We need governments on both sides of our border to remember the great allies we are and make a trade deal that builds our economies that jointly rely on each other."
Local businesses have already raised concerns about rising costs, inventory availability, supplier challenges, inflation, and policy uncertainty. Those pressures are expected to intensify as tariffs ripple through supply chains and increase the cost of equipment, materials, technology, and consumer goods.
While the Chamber recognizes the need to defend Canadian interests and support workers impacted by tariffs, it believes governments must simultaneously focus on removing barriers to growth.
"Canada cannot tariff its way to prosperity," said Fleming. "We need to focus on what we can control. That means reducing unnecessary regulatory burdens, eliminating barriers to internal trade, improving labour mobility, accelerating nation-building infrastructure, and creating the conditions that allow businesses to compete and grow. We need to tear down our internal borders, work together as a country, and set an example on how to be neighbours to forge a trade deal that works."
The Chamber notes that internal trade barriers continue to restrict commerce within Canada, limiting opportunities for businesses to expand and reducing the country's economic efficiency. Previous Chamber advocacy has highlighted that reducing internal trade barriers represents one of Canada's most significant economic opportunities and is a critical step toward strengthening economic resilience during periods of international trade disruption.
The Chamber is also calling for a renewed focus on market diversification and export growth. "Too many Canadian businesses remain overly dependent on a single market," Fleming added. "This is a critical opportunity to strengthen trade relationships across Canada and around the world, expand export opportunities, and support businesses in reaching new customers. Diversification is not simply a response to today's challenges; it is an investment in Canada's long-term prosperity."
The federal government has announced additional support measures for businesses affected by tariffs, including expanded funding through the Regional Tariff Response Initiative, financing supports, market diversification initiatives, and worker retention programs designed to help businesses adapt to evolving trade conditions.
The Southeast Alberta Chamber of Commerce will continue working with businesses, industry associations, governments, and the Canadian Chamber network to ensure local concerns are heard and that businesses have access to the information, supports, and advocacy they need.
"Our message is straightforward," said Fleming. "Protecting Canadian businesses means more than responding to tariffs. It means building a stronger, more competitive economy by reducing barriers, improving productivity, expanding market access, and creating an environment where businesses can thrive. If we take the right actions now, this challenge can become an opportunity to build a stronger Southeast Alberta and a stronger Canada."

Canada’s provincial chambers welcome progress on internal trade, urge governments to turn commitments into results
Provincial and territorial chambers of commerce welcome decisions taken this week by federal, provincial and territorial ministers responsible for internal trade. Meeting in Iqaluit, Nunavut, Ministers agreed to accelerate work on model mutual-recognition legislation, ratified Canadian Free Trade Agreement amendments that set a 30-day service standard for labour-mobility applications, set firm dates to expand mutual recognition to services, and keep reducing barriers in food and alcohol.
The announcements track closely with Chambers of the Federation: An Agenda for a More Competitive Canada, the joint business framework presented to premiers in Charlottetown in July 2026. That agenda called on governments to move from commitment to implementation on internal trade, labour mobility and regulatory alignment, and to use the Committee on Internal Trade for timelines, accountability and public reporting.

Trip to Medicine Hat offers pleasant surprises and precious memories
By Kim Pemberton, published in the Times Colonist.
Host cities of major sporting events are known for rolling out the welcome mat, and Medicine Hat embraced that role, welcoming more than 1,700 athletes from across Canada, approximately 3,500 spectators and 1,500 volunteers, creating an atmosphere that was energetic, inclusive and unmistakably proud. Much like visitors who travelled to World Cup games hosted across 16 North American cities, those of us who came to Medicine Hat were equally excited to explore a destination many had never visited before.

Medicine Hat Family Services: Expanded counselling program brings support to rural communities in Cypress County
Residents in rural communities across Cypress County are getting greater access to low-cost counselling without having to travel into Medicine Hat. Medicine Hat Family Service has expanded its rural counselling program, with an outreach counsellor travelling to different communities each day to provide one-on-one support where people live.
Executive director Celina Symmonds told Cypress County council on Tuesday that the program has grown significantly since she first approached the county three years ago about improving access to counselling in rural areas.
