After declaring victory in yesterday's Canadian election, Prime Minister Mark Carney said the “old relationship” with the United States is over. Over the past few months, President Donald Trump's on-and-off tariffs and repeated annexation threats have caused Canadians to reconsider the United States as its leading trading partner and ally. But Patricia Goff, professor of political science at Wilfrid Laurier University, said the idea of disentangling the two economies is unrealistic. On the show today, Goff explains how Trump's tariffs and annexation threats influenced the Canadian election, how Canadian industries are navigating the trade war, and what this all could mean for the future of the U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade agreement.Plus, we'll hear a pitch for a new “Make Me Smart”-themed rear window sticker. And, what one psychologist got wrong about burnout. Here's everything we talked about today:"Trump knows exactly what he just triggered in Canada" from CBC News"Liberal Bruce Fanjoy topples Pierre Poilievre in Carleton" from CBC News"Canada-U.S. Relations Continue to Reach Lows Over Tariffs and Annexation Threats" from The New York Times"Mike Myers Is Ready to Defend Canada" from The New York Times"Canada says its friendship with the US is ‘over.'

Within the last week, the Liberals, Conservatives and NDP have all released their costed platforms, detailing their plans for the country and how they will pay for them. While the question of who will be Canada's next prime minister remains, it's certain they'll face a challenging economic outlook, with a Canada-U.S. trade war in full swing and a recession looming. Who's spending more and on what? How does the confusing math work? Today, we're breaking down the details with Aaron Wherry, a senior writer with CBC's Ottawa bureau. Make sure to watch our election night livestream on Monday, April 28 starting at 8pm Eastern.

The small Alaskan town of Skagway usually welcomes plenty of visitors from neighbouring Yukon, but this year Canadians aren't coming because of tensions with the U.S. The CBC's Julia Pagel went to Skagway, where people say that the financial hit to tourism is bad, but what really hurts is watching years of friendship break down before their eyes.

Canada-U.S. relations currently experience challenges due to trade tensions. U.S. trade policies affect both economies and create friction. New tariffs raise anticipation about their impact on venture capital investment in Canadian startups. In 2024, Canadian startups raised $6.9 billion in venture capital, a 17% increase from the previous year. Despite funding increases, deal volume declined, with fewer than 700 deals completed in the last year. Major funding rounds in the artificial intelligence sector have driven totals higher, including notable amounts raised by Clio, Tenstorrent, and Cohere. The first quarter of 2024 saw Canadian startups raise $1.6 billion in 128 deals, lower than the previous quarter but higher than the same quarter last year. The effects of new U.S. tariffs on venture activity remain unclear, with potential impacts on hardware and software sectors. Overall, the Canadian venture landscape requires observation as market conditions evolve.Learn more on this news visit us at: https://greyjournal.net/news/ Hosted on Acast.

For decades, Minnesotans and Canadians have been friends and trading partners, easily moving and trading across our shared border. But President Donald Trump's tariff policies and calls for Canada to become the United States' 51st state have raised questions about Minnesotans relationship with our neighbors to the north.

Their special “Our Canada Connections” airs Monday at 9 a.m. Davis and Farrell joined Minnesota Now to share some of what they heard.

On Wednesday, U.S. President Donald Trump announced a 90-day pause on his sweeping global reciprocal tariffs for all countries, except for China.Trump has long expressed his love of tariffs. Just last week, he spoke about how believes the U.S. was founded on tariffs, and that they could have helped the country avoid the Great Depression. Then, referring to the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930, the President said: “They tried to bring back tariffs to save our country, but it was gone. It was gone. It was too late. Nothing could have been done — took years and years to get out of that depression.”Today on Front Burner, what lessons do the Smoot-Hawley tariffs offer during this moment of global economic chaos?Asa McKercher is the Hudson Chair in Canada-U.S. relations at the Brian Mulroney Institute of Government. He's back on Front Burner to talk about that and much more.For transcripts of Front Burner, please visit: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/frontburner/transcripts

And as we’re seeing now, the demand drop may be deeper than originally thought. On this discussion, Natasha Lair-McKenty, the managing editor of TravelPulse Canada, and McKensie McMillan, a travel advisor at Vancouver-based The Travel Group, about what some Canadian travelers are thinking and why, the importance of the Canadian market to the U.S. travel businesses, where they’re going instead of the U.S. and how advisors are coping with the change.

The Trump administration has sent shockwaves through the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) by notifying over 1,000 employees that they are on the chopping block, marking a decisive step in dismantling bloated government agencies notorious for regulatory overreach. EPA employees who have been with the agency for less than a year received an email last week notifying them that they could be dismissed immediately, according to NBC News citing sources familiar with the matter. These employees, who are still on their “probationary” status, were bluntly informed that their tenure could end without delay at the administration's discretion.

First, tariffs on energy products are pure propaganda.  Coal, LNG and crude oil are fungible. In the case of China the energy products arrive from a global market, there is no identifiable way to tariff American energy products.  This is not like Canada where the Candian energy products are entirely dependent on pipelines into the USA, and therefore unavoidably easy to tariff by Trump. Chairman Xi gets most of the Chinese imported energy resources from Russia, specifically Coal, LNG and Crude Oil.  So, this subset of tariffs against American energy products is pure propaganda,
