TORONTO – Five things to watch for in the Canadian business world in the coming week:
Statistics Canada will release its figures for international merchandise trade for June on Tuesday. Canada’s merchandise trade surplus rose to $4.2 billion in May, the largest in four years, as exports reached a record high.
The e-commerce software platform is expected to release second-quarter results on Wednesday. Shopify’s founder and CEO Tobi Lutke recently attracted criticism when he proposed on X that Canada eliminate the ability to vote for people not paying income tax and increase the number of votes to up to five for people paying $500,000 or more in income tax.

The Toronto-based owner of Tim Hortons, Burger King, Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen and Firehouse Subs is set to report its second-quarter results on Thursday. Fast-food companies have been challenged lately by higher chicken and beef prices and more competition in the cold beverage category, where many businesses have expanded their offerings.
Energy companies Suncor Energy Inc., South Bow Corp. and Canadian Natural Resources Ltd. will all be releasing quarterly results this week. The results arrive as war in the Middle East continues to weigh on the global energy market, creating volatility in oil prices.
Statistics Canada will release its latest jobs report on Friday when it publishes its labour force survey for July. The Canadian economy added 18,000 jobs in June as the FIFA World Cup and a better market for young workers pushed the unemployment rate down.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Aug. 2, 2026.
