OTTAWA A U.S. congressman has written to Canada’s ambassador in Washington warning that if Americans aren’t exempted from a proposed tax on foreign-owned real estate, he will fight to impose a similar tax on Canadians who buy property down south.
Last month’s federal budget proposes a national one per cent tax on the value of properties owned by foreigners who leave their properties vacant.

OTTAWA/NEW YORK (Reuters) - Canada is pushing on several diplomatic fronts against the U.S. state of Michigan s efforts to close a cross-border oil pipeline, the second such dispute since Joe Biden became U.S. president in January, complicating the governments efforts to work together to lower carbon emissions.
The conflict over the aging but key pipeline highlights the disruptions caused by a global shift away from fossil fuels. Both governments are working to accelerate the energy transition, but their oil industries are interdependent, so a policy shift in one country can affect energy supply, and the political balance, in the other.
