A Message from Canoe: Navigating Ongoing Canada-U.S. Trade Uncertainty

September 1, 2026

As trade tensions between Canada and the United States continue to evolve, Canoe remains actively engaged with our members, suppliers, and association partners to understand and respond to the challenges facing Canadian organizations. Recent tariff and counter-tariff measures have created uncertainty across many sectors, resulting in increased costs, supply chain pressures, and market volatility.

Canoe is a proudly Canadian-owned and operated organization, and we remain committed to supporting our members with reliable, compliant procurement solutions. Every Canoe contract includes Canadian content through local dealers, distribution networks, service providers, or Canadian business operations.

Our approved suppliers continue to support communities across Canada and are working to maintain service levels while adapting to changing market conditions. By utilizing a Canoe contract, members can reduce procurement risk and access trusted purchasing solutions in an increasingly complex and uncertain environment.

We sincerely appreciate the continued support of our members, suppliers, and association partners. Canoe will continue to monitor developments closely and help members navigate these challenges with confidence.

If you have any questions, please contact your local Canoe representative.

General Manager of Canoe
