Donald Trump met with Prime Minister Mark Carney in Washington — and called the Canada-U.S. trade relationship a “natural conflict.” From cars and steel to the future of the USMCA, we break down what was said, what wasn't, and what it means for Canada going forward. CBC's Washington correspondent Katie Simpson joins us to explain.

John Oakley tackles two storylines shaping Canada right now. First, Jocelyn Bamford—VP at Automatic Coating and founder of the Coalition of Concerned Manufacturers and Businesses of Canada—breaks down how U.S. tariffs and Ottawa/Queen's Park responses could hit Canadian manufacturing, from autos to steel, and what policy levers (energy costs, red tape, pipelines) might actually keep high-skill jobs here. Then Tristin Hopper, National Post columnist and author of “Don't Be Canada,” explains the latest polling: Mark Carney's fading honeymoon, a Conservative upswing, seniors consolidating as the Liberal base, a disappearing gender gap, and the NDP's ongoing slump. What we cover: How prospective U.S. tariffs could ripple through Windsor, Oshawa, Guelph, Brampton & beyond Auto sector realities under USMCA vs. headline panic—and whether political theatre helps or hurts Ontario's “hardball” signals (LCBO booze, critical minerals, energy) and investor confidence The cost stack for manufacturers: electricity, compliance, and “death by a thousand cuts” Poll shifts since the election: approval slides, vote-intent realignments, and where swing voters went Guests: Jocelyn Bamford (VP, Automatic Coating; Founder, Coalition of Concerned Manufacturers and Businesses of Canada); Tristin Hopper (Columnist, National Post; Author, “Don't Be Canada”).

Mark Carney and Donald Trump met Tuesday in the White House to try and hammer out a resolution to the U.S. trade war that has wreaked havoc on critical Canadian sectors like steel, aluminum, auto manufacturing and forestry. Later in the day, Canada-U.S. Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc told reporters that the talks were "substantive," but made no announcement on a deal or tariff relief — saying conversations with his American counterparts will continue. So was Carney's visit to Washington a win, a waste of time or a wash? Co-hosts and political nerds Catherine Cullen, Daniel Thibeault and Jason Markusoff tackle the big meeting in this last — for now — episode of House Party.

Canada must raise its level of ambition to compete in today's rapidly shifting geoeconomic and geopolitical landscape. So far on the podcast, we've focused on how diversifying oil and gas exports can strengthen Canada's power and influence. This week, we turn our attention to another strategic sector — mining. Our guest this week is Photinie Koutsavlis, Vice President of Economic Affairs and Climate Change at the Mining Association of Canada. She joins us to discuss the current state of Canada's mining industry. Here are some of the questions that Jackie and Peter asked Photinie Koutsavlis:  How large is Canada's mining sector, and what are its main products? Since the January 2020 announcement of the Canada–U.S. Joint Action Plan on Critical Minerals, what progress has been made on the ground? Has investment and production grown — and if not, what are the main barriers? Content referenced in this podcast: The Hub.ca, “Peter Tertzakian: Even if Alberta gets a new pipeline, what is next for the oil sands?” (October 4, 2025)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

Canada–U.S. trade talks could drag on to 2027, according to U.S. Ambassador Pete Hoekstra and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith. Yet both insist the future is still bright—especially when it comes to energy alignment between Alberta and Washington. From pipelines and nuclear power to critical minerals and even American booze, they outline what's really slowing down CUSMA talks, and why Alberta sees an opening to shape North America's economic future.   This podcast is generously supported by Don Archibald.

Here are three reasons why you should listen to this episode:Learn how interest rate cuts actually affect variable and fixed-rate mortgages, and what that means for your next renewal.Understand the regional differences shaping Canada's housing markets, including why now may be an opportunity for condo buyers.Gain practical strategies for staying financially resilient, from managing employment uncertainty to making smart spending decisions.ResourcesCIBC's "Smart Advice" Podcast and Website - Website | Apple Podcast | SpotifyVisit CIBC for more Smart AdviceAndrew Grantham: LinkedIn | CIBC Author ProfileEpisode Highlights[00:20] Canada's Economic CrossroadsCanadians are facing uncertainty as interest rates shift, the Canadian housing market fluctuates, and recession fears dominate the headlines.Rising costs and uneven recovery raise important questions about affordability and financial security.Host Carissa Lucreziano introduces guest Andrew Grantham, Senior Economist at CIBC Capital Markets.Andrew is well-positioned to explain today's challenges, connecting big-picture trends to the financial decisions Canadians face. [01:10] Interest Rates in the Canadian Housing MarketThe Bank of Canada and the U.S. Federal Reserve recently trimmed rates, offering a small sense of relief.For some households, variable-rate mortgages and credit lines see immediate benefits, while fixed rates remain largely unchanged.Carissa asks Andrew about the broader impact on the Canadian housing market, from overheated urban centers to smaller regions.Andrew explains why local differences matter, noting ongoing weakness in Toronto and Vancouver but signs of recovery elsewhere.[04:16] Andrew: “We are seeing that, particularly with the population growth we've seen in some of the prairie provinces, for example, there is the demand there, and even though building has increased in those provinces, we are still seeing that the housing market there is reasonably strong and prices are continuing to rise a little bit.”[04:41] The Condo Market in FocusCondos, particularly in Toronto, are experiencing weak demand and falling prices.Developers struggle to pre-sell units, slowing the pace of new construction.Andrew explains how reduced supply could eventually stabilize the market as demand slowly returns.He advises Canadians not to wait too long, as even a small rise in demand could shift conditions.[06:02] Are Canadians Waiting on the Sidelines?Many Canadians wonder if mortgage rates will fall further before they make financial moves.Andrew notes that while rates are lower than last year, they will likely not return to pandemic-era levels.He emphasizes that rates today are closer to 2019 levels, when the market was more balanced.His advice: focus on manageable payments and comfort, rather than trying to time the market.[07:40] Canada–U.S. Trade Ties and Sector PressuresCanada's economy is deeply linked to U.S. policy decisions, creating ripple effects north of the border.Andrew discusses Mark Carney's approach to strengthening ties while avoiding rushed trade deals.While many goods still enter the U.S. tariff-free, sector-specific tariffs continue to impact industries like steel, aluminum, and autos.Ontario and Quebec face the greatest pressure, while most other provinces remain less affected.[10:35] Consumer Spending and the Canadian DollarWith Black Friday approaching, Canadians are weighing the cost of cross-border shopping.[11:30] Andrew: “In terms of that cross-border shopping activity, a big theme over this year, even before talking about those Black Friday Sales, has been the drive to buy Canadian.”A weaker Canadian dollar makes U.S. purchases more expensive, but a “buy Canada” trend is emerging.Andrew notes that spending at home could benefit local retailers this holiday season.He explains how the loonie's movement is tied to U.S. dollar strength, limiting expectations for quick improvement.[12:18] Is Canada in a Recession?Headlines continue to question whether Canada is already in a recession.Andrew clarifies the difference between the technical definition and how people actually feel.While contraction occurred earlier in the year, he expects recovery in the second half.For many in Ontario and B.C., falling home prices and job struggles still make it feel like a recession.[15:48] Andrew: “What's interesting though, in the current situation is that that excess increase in unemployment for young people has gone above and beyond even what we would typically see given what's happened on the economy as a whole, on a national basis.”[17:23] Building Financial ResilienceCanadians want to know how to protect themselves in uncertain times.Andrew advises setting money aside for emergencies and focusing on long-term goals.He emphasizes avoiding short-term “headline risks” and instead building steady resilience.His message: consistent saving and a long-term view remain the strongest strategies.[18:55] Looking Ahead: Opportunities Beyond UncertaintyCanada is adjusting to a new trade environment, higher but stabilizing interest rates, and shifting consumer patterns.Andrew highlights Canada's strengths, including infrastructure investment, natural resources, and a skilled labor force.He notes that while the economy feels heavy today, long-term prospects remain strong.Final takeaway: Canadians should focus on opportunities ahead, not just the short-term noise.About Andrew GranthamAs Senior Economist with CIBC Capital Markets, Andrew Grantham has a wide range

The U.S. Ambassador to Canada was in Banff yesterday for what turned out to be a tense conversation with former Canadian diplomat Colin Robertson. The ambassador, a seasoned American politician, and Robertson, no stranger to Canada-U.S. relations, went at it over some of the things that have been said between the two countries this year. Chantal Hebert and Bruce Anderson have lots to say about it all, too. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The U.S. Ambassador to Canada says he's disappointed in what he calls the “anti-American” sentiment of the elbows up campaign. So this week on House Party, we're asking: are those hurt feelings getting in the way of Prime Minister Mark Carney being able to strike a trade deal with President Donald Trump? Was the ambassador warning Canada's politicians to stand down? And what does the business community — to whom Ambassador Pete Hoekstra was speaking — make of the ambassador's message? Co-hosts and political nerds Catherine Cullen, Daniel Thibeault and Jason Markusoff talk about all of that… and whether there's a good alternative to U.S. bourbon for your party cocktails.

Canada-U.S. Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc says Canada won't accept a bad deal from the U.S. and that there had been no viable deal on the table this week ahead of the Aug. 1 deadline. Power & Politics has reaction from Canadian industry and New Brunswick Premier Susan Holt. Plus, The U.S. economy is starting to feel the burn of an international trade war. A former economic adviser to U.S. President Donald Trump shares his insights.

U.S. President Donald Trump has struck two major trade deals in recent weeks — both with a baseline 15 per cent tariff on most goods.

Canada-U.S. Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc met with U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and five Republican senators on a two-day trip to Washington this week, but says negotiators still 'have a lot of work in front of us' before a trade deal can be struck. RBC chief economist Frances Donald forecasts that it could be a while before Americans feel the worst impacts of inflation from U.S. tariffs.

Prime Minister Mark Carney joins Canada's premiers in Huntsville, Ont., to deliver an update on trade talks with the United States, with the Aug. 1 deadline just 10 days away. Carney says he'll only sign a deal that's ‘in the best interest of Canadians.' Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston tells Power & Politics he believes Canada is on a ‘path' to a deal after speaking with Carney, and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says she's ‘encouraged' by the relationship between the prime minister and U.S. President Donald Trump.

Premiers kick off three days of talks largely focused on Canada-U.S. negotiations, as President Donald Trump's Aug. 1 tariff deadline approaches. David Cochrane asks British Columbia Premier David Eby whether he's ready to accept some tariffs as part of a U.S. trade deal. Plus, premiers sit down with Indigenous leaders as the push to build big national projects draws concern in some communities. Métis National Council President Victoria Pruden tells Power & Politics she was 'encouraged' by the collaborative tone of the meeting.

U.S. President Donald Trump wrote letters to over two dozen trading partners last week, threatening a fresh set of tariffs. Canada was among them and is now facing the possibility of 35% tariffs on all Canadian goods that don't comply with CUSMA, the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement, if a deal isn't reached by August 1st. Where do our negotiations with the Trump administration stand and how much worse could things get if these tariffs come into effect? What cards can Canada still play at the negotiating table? And what does Trump's ongoing tariff approach mean for the world? To help make sense of it all, we're joined by Eric Miller, trade analyst and president of Rideau Potomac Strategy Group.

Thank you for your attention to this matter! https://twitter.com/disclosetv/status/1939522597550518357 If Canada had kept the Digital Services Tax (DST) in place, the financial and economic consequences would have been significant, primarily due to potential U.S. retaliation and disruptions to the Canada-U.S. trade relationship.   Lost Tax Revenue vs. Retaliatory Tariffs: The DST was projected to generate approximately C$5.9 billion (about US$4.3 billion) over five years, or roughly C$1.2 billion (US$870 million) annually, according to Canada's 2024 federal budget However, U.S. President Donald Trump threatened to impose new tariffs on Canadian goods in response to the DST, which could have far exceeded the tax revenue. For context, Canada exports over US$400 billion in goods annually to the U.S., representing 75% of its total goods exports. If the U.S. imposed tariffs (e.g., 10-50% as suggested by Trump's April 2025 tariff levels), the cost to Canadian exporters could have ranged from US$40 billion to US$200 billion annually, depending on the tariff rate and scope. Specific sectors like automobiles, energy, steel, and aluminum (already facing 50% U.S. tariffs) would have been hit hardest, with ripple effects across supply chains. Increased Costs for Canadian Consumers and Businesses: The DST would have imposed a 3% tax on digital services revenue from Canadian users, affecting U.S. tech giants like Amazon, Google, Meta, and Apple. Some companies, like Google, had already introduced surcharges (e.g., a 2.5% “Canada DST Fee” on ads starting October 2024) to offset compliance costs, which would have raised prices for Canadian consumers and businesses reliant on digital services. Canadian business groups warned that these costs would be passed on, increasing the price of digital subscriptions, online marketing, and e-commerce. Economic Impact of Retaliation: The U.S. could have targeted Canadian pension funds and investments through retaliatory measures, as warned by the Canadian Chamber of Commerce. A trade war could have exacerbated Canada's economic slowdown, with unemployment already at 7% in 2025, potentially leading to job losses in export-dependent industries like manufacturing and energy.   Sector-Specific Impacts: Automotive and Manufacturing: Tariffs on automobiles and parts would have disrupted integrated North American supply chains, increasing costs for Canadian manufacturers and potentially le...

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.
