Canada’s wholesale trade, excluding petroleum, petroleum products and other hydrocarbons, as well as oilseed and grain, is estimated to have decreased 1.5% month-over-month in August 2026, following a 0.3% increase in July. Advance estimates indicate that the decline mainly reflected lower sales in the agricultural supplies industry group within the miscellaneous subsector, as well as in the motor vehicle and motor vehicle parts and accessories subsector.
