Have you noticed that your cup of coffee costs more than usual? A daily cup of joe may become the most bitter expense in Canadian budgets.  Canadians may need an extra shot of caffeine just to stomach the price of their morning brew. Coffee prices have spiked 25% since January, the steepest jump since the mid-1990s. For years, coffee drinkers enjoyed a sweet deal: incomes rose faster than coffee costs, tea nearly tripled, alcohol quintupled, but coffee stayed steady. Now, a whirlwind of tariffs has percolated through the supply chain, leaving Canadian consumers to pick up the tab.  Host Scott Crockatt and BCA's Director of Policy & Economics Alicia Planincic break it all down on this episode of The Brief. --------------------- About the Business Council of Alberta The Business Council of Alberta was founded on a simple idea: to make life better for all Albertans. We believe that business has an important role in improving society, and that when business does well, we all do well. We work with the chief executives and leading entrepreneurs of Alberta's largest enterprises to understand the big, long-term challenges that Albertans are facing and work with industry, government, and civil society to solve these problems and build shared prosperity for every person who calls Alberta home.

Ep 552 - Untapping Canada's Potential Guest: David Williams By Stuart McNish   The untapped potential of Canada's natural resource sector is staggering, says David Williams. Williams is the Chief Economist of the Business Council of British Columbia, who has worked in conjunction with business councils in Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba. Collectively, they issued a report called “Untapped Potential: Driving Canadian Prosperity Through Natural Resources.”   The report focuses on the vital role that indigenous involvement plays in unlocking resource development. The challenge, according to the report, is “rather than making firm, accountable decisions on how to exercise its duties within project reviews, the federal government has left these matters in limbo, deferring tough choices to the courts to avoid political risk.”   The report is pointed and harsh, stating that “the Crown's unclear process has increased an already uncertain business environment, making it more challenging for companies to navigate their Indigenous engagement efforts.”   We invited David Williams to join us for a Conversation That Matters about a path to unlocking Canada's potential to the benefit of all of us.     You can see the interview here https://www.conversationsthatmatter.ca/   Learn More about our guests career at careersthatmatter.ca

How do we build stronger, safer, and more prosperous communities across Alberta? In this special episode of The Brief, guest host Lily Dupuis sits down with Murray Cunningham, President & CEO of Scott Builders, and Michael (Mike) Brown, President & CEO of Trico Homes. Together, Murray and Mike co-chair the Business Council of Alberta's Task Force on Business Priorities for Alberta's Local Governments, which provided a foundation for BCA's newest report, Municipal Matters, focusing on bold recommendations for the future of our cities, towns, and communities. Murray and Mike share their own career journeys to the C-suite, what inspired the creation of this task force, and the most pressing challenges businesses say are holding Albertan communities back. From big cities to small towns, this conversation unpacks the report's three foundational pillars for thriving communities: tackling crime and social disorder, improving permitting and planning processes, and rethinking municipal tax systems and business–government relationships. As Alberta heads into a municipal election cycle this fall, Murray and Mike also offer their advice to future mayors and councillors on how to work with business to create places where people and communities can truly flourish.

Josh Dorrell is the CEO of the Wyoming Business Council.  I've long been an opponent of this agency because it's not the proper role of government to be monkeying around in the free-market.  Over it's existence, Wyoming taxpayers have dumped over half-a-billion dollars into it.  All the while Wyoming's GDP actually went down.  And, yes, I asked him about that.  Josh was kind enough to sit down and have a frank discussion about his agency and its proper place.

When you speak with Greg Branson and Carol Mackay, you're not just talking to seasoned creatives, you're sitting with two of the most generous minds in the Australian design industry.I met them a year ago at The Design Conference in Brisbane. What started as an unassuming chat in the sun turned into a discussion that changed my perspective on the way I value my time and skills. Getting the impression that I was with my people, I quickly accepted their invitation to join them for breakfast the next day, where the creative experiences around the table ranged from regional to metro, freelance to agency, and graduate to veteran.After co-founding and running Mackay Branson Design for decades, Greg and Carol pivoted to build the kind of business they wish they'd had while running a studio. That business is the Design Business Council; a resource, a guide, and a lifeline for creatives learning how to lead, charge, and grow.Carol's superpower is translating the hard-to-digest into plain, practical guidance, shaped by her experience designing for courts, ombudsmen, and emergency services. Greg's fascination lies in systems, structure, and the business sideof creativity. Together, they research, mentor, and reimagine what a sustainable creative practice looks like.What stood out to me in our chat is how aligned they are in values and vision, not just as collaborators, but as life partners. We spoke about the messy middle between art and commerce, the future of creative education, the soft skills no one teaches, and why generosity and curiosity are their chosen legacy.Whether you're just out of design school, in the thick of running your own practice, or navigating what's next, this conversation will offer insight, clarity, and maybe even a little creative therapy.So what could two people who have seen it all, possibly do with their time after winning $100 million? Keep listening for my chat with the dream team that is Greg and Carol.Connect with Trish: www.instagram.com/trishjohnstoneConnect with Greg and Carol: www.designbusinesscouncil.comLearn about Oath + Stone: www.oathandstone.com.auApply to be a guest: www.oathandstone.com.au/creativebones

Three years ago, Congress passed President Biden's Inflation Reduction Act, the largest investment in climate action in U.S. history. The IRA set in motion a sweeping set of investments in nearly every aspect of energy and climate, mostly in the form of subsidies and tax credits, to boost domestic production of electric vehicles, batteries and carbon-free energy. Those investments have flowed to every state, but the majority have landed in Republican-held districts.  In spite of that, Congressional Republicans nearly unanimously passed President Trump's “Big, Beautiful Bill” which the president signed on July 4. The megabill guts nearly all the program funds allocated under the IRA and slashes incentives and credits for solar, wind, energy efficiency and electric vehicles — precisely at a time when we need to dramatically scale up those sectors to address climate change. Why did Republicans let this bill move ahead? And how much will it exacerbate the climate crisis in the coming decades? Guests: Katherine Hamilton, Chair, 38 North Solutions Clayton Aldern, Senior Data Reporter, Grist Lisa Jacobson, President, Business Council for Sustainable Energy John Szoka, CEO, Conservative Energy Network   On July 31, Climate One is hosting Premal Shah and Kinari Webb for a live episode recording!
