Guest: Christopher Sands, Director, Canada Institute, Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars

This week on the podcast, we discuss Donald Trump's inauguration and his return to the Oval Office, including his memorandums and executive orders. Joining the conversation is Christopher Sands, Director of the Wilson Center's Canada Institute, a specialist on Canada, US-Canadian relations, and North American economic integration.Here are some of the questions Jackie and Peter asked Christopher: What is your reaction to President Trump's speech to the business leaders at Davos, specifically his remarks about not needing Canadian lumber, automobiles, or oil and gas? President Trump's inauguration speech mentioned expanding territory; does that mean going to war? The executive order "American First Trade Policy" outlined a process to make trade recommendations by April 1st. However, President Trump also mentioned February 1st as the day tariffs could be imposed on Canada and Mexico. Which date do you expect? How important is it for Canada to increase its military spending? Some of President Trump's executive orders, such as “Unleashing American Energy” and “Declaring a National Energy Emergency,” grant the federal government significant powers—akin to wartime measures—to expedite energy infrastructure development. Do you expect these powers will be challenged in the courts? President Trump has stated that he will end the Green New Deal, and one executive order froze the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) funds. What is your expectation regarding support for clean energy? Canada currently has a void of federal leadership, and Premiers are filling the gap and going to Washington, D.C.; how is that being viewed in the US?  What are your views on the top contenders for the next Prime Minister of Canada and their ability to negotiate successfully with President Trump and the new Administration?Content referenced in this podcast: The Canusa Street PodcastCanada and the United States: Differences That Count, Fifth edition, David Thomas and Christopher Sands Please review our disclaimer at: https://www.arcenergyinstitute.com/disclaimer/ Check us out on social media: X (Twitter): @arcenergyinstLinkedIn: @ARC Energy Research Institute Subscribe to ARC Energy Ideas PodcastApple PodcastsAmazon MusicSpotify 

Donald Trump has been inaugurated as the 47th President of the United States.

The U.S. midterm elections on November 8 have consequences for Canadians. An end to Democratic control of Congress could push President Joe Biden toward more Canada-friendly policies on oil and alliances, as Christopher Sands discusses with guest host Adrienne Batra. Sands, the director of the Wilson Center's Canada Institute in Washington, D.C., explains how recent American ambivalence to energy security and asserting western power has impacted Canada's foreign policy. And why younger U.S. voters, who now outnumber baby boomers, are starting to demand more realism from Washington. (Recorded October 26, 2022) Learn more about your ad choices.

Seeing as the border between Detroit and Windsor is one of the busiest ports of entry along the Canada-U.S. border, the lack of modernized crossing paths at this border is a cause for concern for bilateral supply chains, tourism, and transportation. To remedy this, both governments proposed the construction of a new bridge, now known as the Gordie Howe Bridge. However, things have not been smooth sailing, as the development has faced heavy resistance from interest groups and stakeholders. To speak on the trials and tribulations of the development of the Gordie Howe Bridge is the Hon. Lisa Raitt, who is currently serving as Vice-Chair for Global Investment Banking at CIBC, a global fellow at the Canada Institute, and on the CABC Advisory Board. We are also joined by Dr. Roy Norton, a career foreign service officer who is also a Global Fellow at the Canada Institute, as well as a Resident Fellow at the Balsillie School of International Affairs.

During the four years of Trump's presidency, marked by a propensity to put America's interests first, the Canada-US relationship has been strained, difficult, and at times stormy. The election of Joe Biden as head of the United States seems to herald a more cordial relationship between the two countries, but can Canada expect fundamental changes? Will Donald Trump's America First speech continue to influence Canada-US trade policy and relations for years to come? The Raoul-Dandurand Chair hosted a webinar on this subject with three distinguished guests : Christopher Sands, director of the Wilson Center’s Canada Institute, Laurie Trautman, director of the Border Policy Research Institute at Western Washington University amp; Alexander Panetta, Washington-based CBC correspondent. An event moderated by Frédérick Gagnon.

In part 2 of our special two-part series on the U.S. election, Professor Christopher Sands (Director of the Canada Institute of the Woodrow Wilson Center for International Studies) returns to talk about the policy implications of a now known Biden administration. We discuss the President-elect's views on trade and U.S.-China relations, the role of Congress in a post-Trump era, and what it all means for Canada moving forwards. 

When we first scheduled this episode with Dr. Christopher Sands, the Director of the Canada Institute at the Woodrow Wilson Center for International Studies, we figured the U.S. Presidential election results would be known. Instead, at the time of recording, the contest was still too close to call. In the first of a special two-part episode, Dr. Sands shares valuable insights about the changing bases of both the Republicans and Democrats, the rise of blue collar millennials as a voting bloc, and what the election could mean for Canada. 

In this edition of Wilson Center NOW we are joined by Christopher Sands, Director of the Wilson Center’s Canada Institute. He discusses Canada’s recent failure to win a U.N. Security Council seat and possible ramifications for the Trudeau government moving forward.

MCALLEN, Texas - The United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement took effect July 1, 2020, replacing the North American Free Trade Agreement.To celebrate, the Wilson Center in Washington, D.C., hosted a webinar with esteemed representatives from the three countries: Luz María De La Mora from Mexico, Joseph Semsar from the United States, and Ailish Campbell from Canada.The Wilson Center is home to the Mexico Institute and the Canada Institute.De La Mora is a former Mexico Institute public policy scholar and now under-secretary for foreign trade in the Secretariat of Economy in Mexico.Semsar is deputy under secretary for international trade, performing the non-executive functions and duties of the Under Secretary for International Trade in the U.S. Department of Commerce.Campbell is chief trade commissioner of Canada and assistant deputy minister in the Global Affairs Department in Canada.The webinar started with opening remarks from Jane Harman, a former U.S. Representative from Los Angeles, California, who is now president and CEO of the Wilson Center.“We are all celebrating, virtually, the fact that this is a new phase in the relationship among our three countries,” Harman said.“The new NAFTA is meant to strengthen the continental steel and aluminum production, encourage auto production, introduce stronger protection for workers, and introduce technology, can you imagine, as a form of trade, something that was not envisioned back in the day when NAFTA passed.“But, as we all know, the devil is in the detail, and an 1,800-page agreement will be put to the test when it is implemented."Harman ended her remarks by saying: “Sorry we don’t have champagne or whatever might suit, in my case a tequila, to celebrate this momentous occasion. Congratulations, everybody.”For the full story, go to www.riograndeguardian.com.

On today's 'Global Exchange' Podcast, we touch base with CGAI's North American trade experts in light of a busy week on the NAFTA file in Washington.
