In this special podcast, John speaks up about British Columbia's forestry industry—long considered the backbone of many communities, facing times of crisis. In this episode, we take a deep dive into the forces reshaping one of Canada's most important sectors.From the widespread closure of sawmills across the province to the growing pressure of U.S. tariffs and duties—now reaching as high as 45% on Canadian softwood lumber —the economic landscape has shifted dramatically. These trade barriers, rooted in a decades-long dispute over pricing and subsidies, are tightening margins, reducing exports, and forcing difficult times across the industry.We explore how these challenges have contributed to mill shutdowns and the ripple effects on communities.This episode also unpacks the policies behind the Canada–U.S. softwood lumber dispute.What does the future of forestry in Canada look like?Whether you're in the industry, living in an affected community, or simply trying to understand how global trade impacts everyday Canadians, this is a conversation you don't want to miss. 

The path to renewing the Canada–United States–Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) appears to be facing stronger headwinds as the renewal timeline winds down. In a fireside chat at the Canadian Crops Convention in Toronto this week, U.S. Ambassador to Canada, Pete Hoekstra, joined Erin Gowriluk of the Canada Grains Council to discuss the status of the Canada–U.S....

More than a week has passed since Israel and the United States launched a massive attack on Iran — a move the prime minister says Canada supports "with regret." How does that stance square with the vision Carney laid out in Davos? Former Canadian ambassador to the United Nations Bob Rae weighs in on the Canadian view and shares concerns around how the conflict may end. Plus, tanker traffic in one of the world's key oil passageways in the Middle East has ground to a halt, leaving some countries calling on Canada to ramp up its energy exports. Liberal MP Corey Hogan, parliamentary secretary to the energy minister, explains what Ottawa is telling these eager nations; then Adam Chambers, the Conservatives' international trade critic, explains his party's vision to meet rising energy demands.Next, Mark Carney addressed Australia's parliament this week, reiterating his theory that middle powers must work together as the international rules-based order crumbles around them. Former Australian prime minister Malcolm Turnbull joins The House to discuss how Carney's pitch is being received Down Under and how the two countries can work together in an increasingly uncertain world.Then, new data shows that almost half of Canadians polled are in favour of their country becoming a member state of the European Union — despite its physical distance from the continent. CBC's Jennifer Chevalier hears the arguments for and against membership from the Global Governance Forum's Augusto Lopez Claros, former deputy prime minister John Manley, trade expert Meredith Lilly, Canada-U.S. expert Fen Hampson and pollster David Coletto.This episode features the voices of:Bob Rae, former Canadian ambassador to the United NationsCorey Hogan, Liberal MP and parliamentary secretary to the energy ministerAdam Chambers, Conservative international trade criticMalcolm Turnbull, former prime minister of AustraliaAugusto Lopez Claros, executive director of the Global Governance ForumJohn Manley, former deputy prime minister under Jean ChrétienMeredith Lilley, international economic policy professor at Carleton UniversityFen Osler Hampson, co-chair of the Expert Group on Canada-U.S. RelationsDavid Coletto, CEO of Abacus Data

In the first high-level trade meeting since U.S. President Donald Trump called off negotiations with Canada in October, Canada-U.S. Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc met with U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer in Washington on Friday. CBC's Kate McKenna reports the few details we've received surrounding the meeting, and former prime minister Justin Trudeau's deputy chief of staff Brian Clow previews what to expect from the CUSMA talks with Trump this month. Plus, Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield led one of the lawsuits that saw the U.S. Supreme Court strike down Trump's broadest tariffs, and explains his argument as he leads a 24-state lawsuit against the tariffs Trump used to replace them.

So is the rupture a forever thing, or could Canada and The U.S. ever return to the way things used to be?

Is boycotting American products a patriotic duty, or a luxury belief most Canadians can't afford?In this episode of The Missing Middle, Cara Stern and Mike Moffatt unpack the growing generational divide in Canada, and why older Canadians are far more likely to boycott U.S. products, while younger Canadians are stuck navigating a brutal affordability crisis.After a winter storm destroyed his car, Mike shares why he chose a Canadian-assembled vehicle, and how that decision sparked a bigger question: have certain political stances become “luxury beliefs” that only financially secure Canadians can realistically uphold?The conversation digs into the tension between symbolic nationalism and economic reality, especially for Millennials and Gen Z who feel locked out of housing, squeezed by grocery prices, and shut out of opportunity.From grocery store boycotts to the future of Canada's auto sector, this episode explores what it actually means to be a “good Canadian” in a time of rising costs, political strain, and shifting global alliances.Chapters:00:00 Introduction00:43 The Generational Divide on Canada-U.S. Relations02:03 Why Older Canadians View America Differently Than Gen Z03:04 Why Ethical Shopping is a Luxury04:02 Mike's New Car: A Case Study in Buying Canadian06:21  Defining “Luxury Beliefs” in Economics09:23  Social Judgment and the Ethics of Travel10:21 Should Politicians Fight Trump?11:04 On Carney's Speech in Davos12:47 Searching for Transformative Change in the Canadian EconomyResearch/links:Nanos Poll https://nanos.co/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/2025-2950-Bloomberg-Nov-Populated-Report-Tariffs-on-US-goods.pdfResearch Co Pollhttps://researchco.ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Tables_Tariffs_CAN_05Jun2025.pdfLuxury Beliefshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luxury_beliefSpecial Address by Mark Carney, Prime Minister of Canada | World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2026https://youtu.be/flsgJe8mN-A?si=xJs3huF52ABU-SEZHosted by Mike Moffatt & Cara Stern & Sabrina Maddeaux Produced by Meredith Martin This podcast is funded by the Neptis Foundation and brought to you by the Smart Prosperity Institute.

Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer discuss Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre's major speech on Canada-U.S. relations and the Trump administration. They examine the strengths of Poilievre's speech, from his diagnosis of Canada's domestic economic weaknesses, rejection of the 'rupture thesis' that frames Trump as the permanent new normal, and his tougher stance on China. They also discuss the weaknesses of the Conservative leader's speech, including his tone toward Trump, which lacked the nationalist edge some expected, and his embrace of economic nationalism and digital sovereignty. In the second half, they discuss AI's potential economic disruption, exploring competing economic projections about labour displacement. They examine whether society can manage the transition to an AI-transformed economy without significant political and social upheaval.

This episode of The Brian Crombie Hour moves from personal reflection to economic reality to long-term national strategy. Brian opens with a simple word: ICE.On a recent flight from Toronto to Florida, de-icing caused a delay — a routine Canadian winter inconvenience. But in parts of the United States today, “ICE” means something very different: immigration enforcement, border tensions, and identity politics. Same word. Different national focus. It's a revealing lens into how Canada and the U.S. are processing this political and economic moment in profoundly different ways. In the main interview, Brian is joined by Stephanie Stewart, an American Executive MBA from Indianapolis who has been writing extensively about Canada–U.S. trade relations. They break down the hard numbers behind the headlines: tariffs costing American households up to $1,300 annually, the upcoming USMCA review, the reality that roughly 60% of U.S. crude oil imports come from Canada, and how ongoing volatility is reshaping trust between long-standing allies. This isn't partisan rhetoric — it's economic math. In his closing commentary, Brian steps back to examine what middle power strategy really requires. Countries like Canada face two equal and opposite risks: appeasement without leverage, or rhetorical rupture without capacity. Real sovereignty isn't declared on global stages — it's built through pipelines, ports, LNG terminals, rail corridors, defence commitments, and predictable regulatory systems that mobilize private capital. Speeches generate applause. Infrastructure generates power. If you care about Canada–U.S. relations, trade, immigration politics, and what credible middle power leadership actually looks like, this is an episode you won't want to miss.

The Supreme Court of the United States has dealt a major blow to U.S. President Donald Trump, ruling 6–3 that he overstepped his authority by imposing sweeping global tariffs under emergency powers. The court found that the U.S. Constitution gives Congress, not the president, the power to levy taxes, including tariffs, striking down duties imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. While some tariffs on steel, aluminum and autos remain in place under different laws, the decision injects new uncertainty into global trade, including Canada-U.S. relations.

Host: Cindy Allen Published: February 20, 2026 Length: ~18 minutes Presented by: Global Training Center Summary “Tariff Friday” may go down as one of the most pivotal days in recent trade history. In this episode of Simply Trade: Cindy's Version, Cindy Allen breaks down the U.S. Supreme Court's 6–3 decision ruling that IEEPA does not authorize the President to impose tariffs. The Court found that the authority to levy taxes and tariffs belongs to Congress, and that the term “regulate” under IEEPA does not include the power to raise revenue. Inspired by Taylor Swift's Opalite, Cindy walks through what the ruling actually says, what it does not say, and what importers and customs brokers should do right now while awaiting further instruction from the Court of International Trade (CIT) and CBP. The decision may have brought sunlight—but operational clarity will take time. This Week in Trade (Before the Ruling) • Awaiting details on Taiwan 15% MFN (or higher) structure • Pending clarification on India IEEPA reciprocal adjustment (25% to 18%) • Indonesia agreement announced with 19% tariff and textile tariff-rate quota • No movement on elimination of First Sale • No further action on ending IEEPA on Canada • U.S. manufacturing indicators down; stock market up The Supreme Court Decision The Supreme Court issued a 6–3 opinion finding that IEEPA does not grant authority to impose tariffs. Key findings: • IEEPA contains nine enumerated action verbs — none include taxing or raising revenue • Congress alone holds the constitutional authority to levy tariffs • Specific delegated authorities (Sections 301, 232, 122, 338) include limitations and procedural controls • Because Congress created these specific tariff authorities, a broad IEEPA tariff authority cannot be implied • During peacetime, the President does not have independent tariff authority The Court remanded the case back to the lower court — likely the U.S. Court of International Trade (CIT) — which must now issue implementation instructions. What We Still Don't Know • When the CIT will issue instructions • When (or if) CBP will suspend IEEPA tariff collection • Whether refunds will be automatic or require action • Whether de minimis is affected • Whether related trade agreements tied to IEEPA remain intact • Whether the administration pivots to Section 122 or 338 authorities What Importers Should Do Right Now Cindy's recommendation is clear: Continue paying duties until formal CBP guidance is issued. Why? • Duties were in effect at time of entry • Monthly statement entries could otherwise be considered unpaid • CBP systems still contain IEEPA tariff numbers and edit checks • Programming updates will take time Stopping payment prematurely could create compliance risk. Refunds, when issued, will likely require formal action — potentially protests, post-summary corrections, or other ACE updates. Given the volume of entries involved, automatic refunds appear unlikely. Key Takeaways • IEEPA tariffs have been ruled unlawful for revenue purposes • Congress retains sole tariff authority • Operational changes will depend on CIT and CBP implementation • Continue paying duties until official guidance is issued • Refund mechanics remain unclear • Trade professionals must remain disciplined and patient Resources & Mentions • Global Training Center • TradeForce Multiplier • U.S. Supreme Court Opinion (24-1287) Credits Host: • Cindy Allen – LinkedIn • TradeForce Multiplier Producer: • Lalo Solorzano – LinkedIn Subscribe & Follow New episodes every Friday.

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled on Friday that the broad tariffs President Donald Trump justified with national emergency powers — including the 35 per cent imposed on non-CUSMA-compliant Canadian goods — are illegal, leading Trump to immediately announce a global 10 per cent tariff through a different legal avenue. Canada-U.S. Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc responds to questions about whether Canada will still enjoy a CUSMA exemption by saying the U.S. never granted it 'because they want to be nice to us,' but because it's in the 'American economic interest.' Then, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith defends her plan for an October referendum that would ask about imposing fees and limitations on services for immigrants without certain statuses, as well as constitutional changes like abolishing the federal Senate.

They discuss the women's Olympic hockey tournament with thoughts on Canada's tough matchup against Switzerland, whether this signals a changing of the guard for the Canadian team, and the possibility of the U.S. challenging for Gold. The conversation then shifts to the men's tournament, breaking down the elimination round, Canada and USA as contenders, Sweden's struggles, and the excitement of best-on-best competition. After the break, they're joined by former NHL defenceman and three-time Stanley Cup champion, Alec Martinez (25:35) to share his impressions of the Olympic tournament, the overall level of play, the Americans' chances of avoiding past disappointments, the likelihood of another Canada–U.S. showdown, and what that rivalry would mean for the game.The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

In this episode of Tank Talks, Matt Cohen and John Ruffolo rip through a stacked rundown of tech, venture capital, and geopolitical “sovereignty” theater. They open with Europe's accelerating shift away from Microsoft Office and big U.S. platforms toward open-source alternatives, then jump straight into a breaking change from Y Combinator CEO Garry Tan: Canada is back on the list of accepted incorporations, reversing a move that sparked serious backlash about Canadian startup brain drain and U.S.-domicile pressure.From there, they dissect Elon Musk's headline-grabbing SpaceX–xAI all-stock merger and why it looks way better for xAI holders than SpaceX shareholders ahead of a rumored SpaceX IPO window. The episode also digs into Canada's national AI consultation (and the government openly using multiple LLM providers like Cohere and OpenAI to process submissions), the EU's push for digital sovereignty (and the risks of swapping to “free” tools), and the brutal reality of AI-driven search gutting legacy media traffic, with the Washington Post laying off a third of its newsroom. The big throughline: information is cheap now, execution and trust are expensive, and countries (and companies) that don't adapt are about to get cooked.Y Combinator Reverses Course: Canada Back on the List (00:43)YC CEO Garry Tan adds Canada back to YC's list of accepted incorporation jurisdictions after removing it, triggering a wave of criticism. Matt and John break down what changed, why the original rationale (Canadian winners re-domiciling to the U.S.) was a flawed signal, and why the real issue is still Canadian capital formation and follow-on funding strength.SpaceX Buys xAI: A $1.25T Story Swap Before an IPO? (02:34)Matt tees up the shocker: SpaceX acquires xAI in an all-stock deal valuing xAI at $250B and SpaceX at $1T, creating a combined $1.25T entity. They discuss xAI's massive burn versus SpaceX's improving cash profile (driven by Starlink) and why this kind of move raises eyebrows heading into an IPO narrative.Second-Order Effects: When a Cash-Burning AI Company Merges Into Space Infrastructure (07:35)They debate whether this becomes a template for other pre-IPO restructures or stays a one-off “Elon special.” John says a Starlink-style consolidation would make strategic sense; folding in xAI doesn't feel like a choke-point win.Canada's AI Strategy Consultation: Government Using LLMs in the Workflow (09:10)Canada's ISED publishes a high-level summary of its AI consultation and explicitly notes using multiple LLMs and pipelines (including Cohere and OpenAI) to process massive public input. Matt frames this as a meaningful “government actually doing something” moment, even if the public is still anxious about jobs and privacy.Europe's Digital Sovereignty Push: Dropping Teams/Zoom for Open Source? (12:40)They react to reports of governments moving away from Teams/Zoom and Microsoft tooling in the name of sovereignty. Matt calls the open-source swap risky from a security and operational standpoint; John says the bigger signal is global: sovereignty is now a first-order priority, and Canada can't pretend this wave isn't coming.Washington Post Layoffs: AI Search Is Eating the Referral Economy (16:48)Matt highlights the Washington Post's reported search traffic collapse and layoffs impacting a third of the newsroom. John calls journalism an obvious early disruption target: LLMs compress content production costs, and the old newsroom pyramid doesn't match the new economics.The Survival Play: Media Becomes a Live Events Business (19:26)They land on the counter-move: stop fighting the trend and monetize what still works: brand, access, community, and in-person experiences. If content becomes commoditized, relationships and trust become the product.Connect with John Ruffolo on LinkedIn: https://ca.linkedin.com/in/joruffoloConnect with Matt Cohen on LinkedIn: https://ca.linkedin.com/in/matt-cohen1Visit the Ripple Ventures website: https://www.rippleventures.com/ This is a public episode.

In this episode of The Food Professor Podcast, Michael LeBlanc and Sylvain Charlebois deliver a wide-ranging discussion that connects Canadian food policy, trade risk, pricing power, and the accelerating role of AI in restaurants. The episode is anchored by a forward-looking interview with Deborah Matteliano Simeoni, Global Head of Restaurants at Amazon Web Services (AWS), recorded live at the NRF Big Show in New York.The first half of the episode focuses on the state of Canadian agriculture and food affordability. Sylvain shares firsthand insights from meetings with farmers across the Prairies, highlighting cautious optimism around renewed beef access to China alongside deep concern about U.S. trade policy and the durability of CUSMA. The hosts debate the federal government's grocery rebate program, questioning its long-term fiscal impact and contrasting it with a structural alternative: removing GST on food and foodservice to address affordability more directly.A key political and policy thread centers on Mark Wiseman, Canada's incoming Ambassador to the United States. Michael and Sylvain discuss Wiseman's previously published criticism of supply management, exploring whether his appointment signals potential pressure on the system during future Canada–U.S. trade negotiations—and whether Ottawa may ultimately position reforms as externally forced rather than domestically driven. The conversation situates supply management within broader competitiveness, trade credibility, and agri-food resilience debates.The hosts also examine PepsiCo's high-profile U.S. snack price reductions, questioning whether the move reflects margin recalibration, competitive signaling, or Super Bowl-era marketing—and why those cuts do not apply to Canada. Additional topics include the quiet disappearance of frozen orange juice concentrate, the continued normalization of food delivery, and why physical restaurants still matter as legitimizing anchors for digital-first and delivery-led food brands.The second half features an in-depth conversation with Deborah Matteliano Simeoni, who reframes AI not as an end goal, but as a tool for solving real restaurant challenges. Drawing on her experience launching Uber Eats and now advising global QSR brands at AWS, she explains how AI is improving drive-through accuracy, enhancing employee satisfaction, and enabling sophisticated personalization within loyalty ecosystems. Deborah emphasizes experimentation, data-driven learning, and customer-centric design as essential to scaling technology responsibly.Lastly we celebrate the Lobster Lady, still fishing at 101, leaving the earth at 103: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/03/business/virginia-oliver-dead.html?unlocked_article_code=1.J1A.q_7X.15lWPrsTltE7&smid=url-share About UsDr. Sylvain Charlebois is a Visiting Professor in Food Policy and Distribution at McGill University and a Professor in Food Distribution and Policy in the Faculty of Management at Dalhousie University in Halifax.

This is a must-hear briefing for Tom Homan, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, and SecDef Pete Hegseth.This is Steel News where truth survives pressure.Follow: ANN VANDERSTEEL https://AnnVandersteel.comFollow Ann Vandersteel on Pickax - https://pickax.com/annvandersteel 

In this episode of Hope and Possibilities, I share a personal reflection on what's unfolding in the United States—and why it feels both shocking and familiar to me. I spent nearly 18 years in global financial services, 16 of them working closely with American clients, many based in Minnesota. That experience gave me an inside view of how U.S. systems shape people's daily lives—and where those systems quietly fail. Long before today's headlines, I began making deliberate choices to reduce American exposure in my work and center my career in Canada and other global contexts where values aligned more closely with mine. This episode isn't about blame. It's about perspective. I speak with deep respect for Americans—their decency, humor, and care—and with clarity about a hard truth: lasting change can only come from within. External voices have limits. Ownership matters. Drawing on professional experience, historical training, and family history shaped by wartime Europe, I reflect on why nostalgia is such a powerful force, why democratic pressure often looks uncomfortable, and why other countries are quietly recalibrating their relationship with the U.S. This is a reflection, not a prescription—an invitation to think more honestly about responsibility, leadership, and what it takes to shape what comes next. Timestamps 00:00 – Why this moment feels personal Why I chose to talk about this now 02:05 – My American work life Nearly 18 years in financial services, 16 with U.S. clients—many in Minnesota 05:15 – Working across values gaps What you learn when you avoid "safe" topics like healthcare, labor law, and maternity leave 09:10 – 2016 as a turning point Healthcare rollbacks, medical hardship calls, and knowing when work becomes untenable 13:30 – History as an early warning system How family history and studying history shaped my perspective 17:00 – A deliberate shift Why I chose, ten years ago, to reduce American exposure in my career 21:15 – Canadians opting out quietly Travel, consumption, culture, and economic consequences 24:50 – Why change must come from Americans The limits of external critique and the necessity of internal advocacy 29:00 – Protest, boycott, and democracy Why discomfort is often the price of democratic pressure 33:20 – Respect without nostalgia Holding affection for Americans while refusing to romanticize systems 37:10 – The long arc of change Why the Canada–U.S. relationship has been shifting for longer than most realize 40:45 – Closing reflection What the future depends on—and who must shape it

It wasn't just large swaths of the country getting snowed in this weekend — the relationship between Ottawa and the White House also went back into deep freeze. It turns out, parents will pay a lot of money to watch their nine-year-old's soccer game on TV.

Wayne Eyre, former chief of defence staff — about their concerns for Canada's sovereignty and security in this new chapter of the Trump era.Plus, The same day the U.S. launched its military operation in Venezuela, the wife of one of Trump's top advisers warned on social media that "the U.S. doesn't need anything from Canada. Free trade is over." How true is that, ahead of critical trade negotiations? House producer Jennifer Chevalier speaks to former officials and trade experts to understand the rocky road ahead.Finally, why did it take Chrystia Freeland days to announce her resignation as an MP, after news broke she'd be advising the Ukrainian government?

A chance conversation set Jennifer Hyland on a path she never planned: from late‑20s recruit to deputy chief overseeing major crime, patrol, and the kind of cases that haunt even seasoned investigators. What she learned along the way isn't the hero myth. It's a set of grounded habits—judgment, restraint, and relentless investigation—that actually keep people safe and put predators behind bars.We start with the early years: the culture shock of patrol, the pressure to “prove” yourself, and the moment she stopped performing and started policing as herself. Jennifer explains why rookie placement matters more than tradition, how the RCMP's one‑size‑fits‑all training falls short across remote and urban posts, and why the real superpower in policing is casework that survives court, not muscle that wins a moment. She walks us through the split‑second call to disengage when instincts say a stop is about to turn, and we compare the very different risk signals created by Canada–U.S. gun laws.Then we go deep on leadership. Jennifer was pushed into promotion by a tyrannical boss and built her command style in reaction to that harm: show up in briefing, credit frontline work, bridge patrol and detectives, and use bodycam video for learning, not just blame. Her most gripping account centers on Canada's most infamous serial killer, Robert Pickton. As a patrol officer, she stopped him on the street while he hunted sex trade workers. Years later, her notes helped anchor testimony that tied the stop to a night of horrific violence. The takeaway is sobering: you don't “win” cases with force—you win them with trust, documentation, and patience.Finally, Jennifer shares why she wrote Tight Rope. A colleague once told her she seemed “perfect,” and that illusion kept others from stepping up or seeking help. So she broke the spell, writing about the quiet forms of PTSD, the loneliness of command, and the heartbreak of handing in a badge even when the job has taken its pound of flesh.

Encore Episode. 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.
