Saskatchewan agricultural manufacturer SeedMaster is feeling the impact of the Canada-U.S. trade war; roughly 30 per cent of its product comes directly from the U.S. Allan Wiens, SeedMaster CEO, joins Evan to talk about what retaliatory tariffs mean for the company and whether those added costs eventually make their way to farmers.

As Mark Carney looks to Europe and other global markets amid the worsening Canada-U.S. trade war, Natalie St. Hilaire and Randy Royer ask how Canada became so dependent on its southern neighbour in the first place. Royer says decades of economic complacency, weak investment and growing reliance on the American market left Canada dangerously exposed when Donald Trump turned toward protectionism. They also examine what makes Canadian political culture different from the U.S., how the 1982 Constitution changed that relationship and whether Canada can rebuild its economic independence.»»» Subscribe to the Western Standard: https://www.westernstandard.news/subscriptionFor breaking news, videos, opinion and in-depth coverage: https://www.westernstandard.news/Follow the Western Standard on X: https://x.com/WesternStandardFollow the Western Standard on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/westernstandardonline/Sign up for Western Standard newsletters: https://dashboard.mailerlite.com/forms/788568/130204520588249083/shareSupport independent journalism in Western Canada: https://www.westernstandard.news/subscription

Matt Cohen and John Ruffolo break down the collapse of Canada-U.S. trade negotiations, the unanswered questions surrounding the failed deal, and whether Canada is protecting legacy industries at the expense of technology and long-term economic growth.They also examine Prime Minister Mark Carney's ambitious pitch to bring international capital back to Canada, including billions of dollars in proposed energy, transportation, infrastructure, and technology projects. But can a polished deal book convince investors to fund projects that have struggled to attract capital for years?Finally, Matt and John unpack the political battle forming around Anthropic's anticipated IPO, the growing influence of AI regulation campaigns, and Miro's dramatic fall from a $17.5 billion valuation.As Canada searches for a way out of its trade crisis, global investors are being asked to reconsider the country's economic potential. At the same time, AI companies are entering a political and regulatory battle that could determine who controls the industry's future.If you are a founder, investor, policymaker, or anyone trying to understand where capital and technology are heading next, this episode is worth your time.–A big thanks to our sponsor, Moomoo CanadaThis is the kind of tooling that used to live on a Bloomberg terminal, but now it is on your phone, just a few taps away.

Open an account today at moomoo.caWhy Canada-U.S. Trade Talks Fell Apart (01:31)The latest Canada-U.S. trade negotiations appeared close to producing an agreement until everything suddenly unraveled. John argues that the biggest problem is not simply the failed deal, but the Canadian government's refusal to clearly define what success was supposed to look like.With provinces reportedly objecting to parts of the proposed agreement and conflicting stories emerging from both sides, Canadians are left guessing about what happened. John asks the uncomfortable question: Is Canada protecting dairy and other legacy interests while sacrificing its technology economy?The Real Cost of Walking Away From the U.S. (07:43)Many Canadians support ending the negotiations, but that support begins to disappear when higher taxes, rising unemployment, and slower economic growth enter the conversation. John warns that Canada cannot reduce its dependence on its largest trading partner without experiencing real financial pain.That burden will not be shared equally. Older Canadians with homes, pensions, and U.S. investments may be able to absorb the disruption, while younger Canadians already struggling with housing and affordability have much more to lose.Carney's Plan to Bring Investment Back to Canada (10:18)The Canada Investment Summit is presenting more than 160 opportunities across energy, critical minerals, transportation, manufacturing, digital technology, and infrastructure. The goal is to reintroduce Canada to international investors after a decade in which global capital largely looked elsewhere.John supports the strategy but tempers expectations. The summit may not produce immediate checks, but it could rebuild the relationships Canada needs to finance major projects and reverse its reputation as an undercapitalized market.Anthropic's IPO Enters the AI Political War (16:15)A former Anthropic researcher's warning about self-improving superintelligence quickly spread across the internet, creating fresh questions about AI safety and the company's anticipated IPO. Matt examines whether the viral backlash emerged organically or was amplified by politically connected organizations pushing for tighter AI regulation.John believes there is no neutral position in the AI debate anymore. Competing groups are funding optimistic and catastrophic narratives, turning data centers, employment, regulation, and AI safety into deeply political issues. Despite the controversy, he does not expect the backlash to derail Anthropic's IPO.Miro's Collapse and the Continuing SaaSpocalypse (21:11)Miro was valued at $17.5 billion at the height of the software boom. Its reported acquisition by Bending Spoons at a fraction of that valuation shows how brutally the market has repriced venture-backed SaaS companies.Miro remains a substantial business with hundreds of millions in recurring revenue and a strong enterprise customer base. The problem was not the product; it was the inflated valuation and financing structure built around it. John expects more overfunded unicorns to face similar outcomes.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.

The ongoing Canada-U.S. trade war continues to put pressure on Canada's auto industry. Uncertainty is raising concerns about costs, jobs and the future of vehicle manufacturing in Canada. We're joined by Brian Kingston, President and CEO of the Canadian Vehicle Manufacturers' Association, to explain what the industry is facing.

It's been a big week in the trenches of the Canada-U.S. trade war. And Canada's former ambassador to the United Nations wants us to take a step back to reflect on what Canadians are fighting for. Bob Rae talks about how he thinks our country can best defend itself in this moment, and why Canada's values – including humanitarian assistance and Indigenous rights – should be central to that effort.Plus: As Prime Minister Mark Carney courts the world in an effort to expand beyond the American market, The Economist's Rob Russo, The Toronto Star's Adam Radwanski and Bloomberg's Nojoud Al Mallees discuss whether the bet will pay off.

Derek Fildebrandt, Cory Morgan, Nigel Hannaford and Dave Naylor discuss Pierre Poilievre's push against Alberta independence, the Oct. 19 referendum and the risk of alienating Western conservatives. They also examine Mark Carney, Donald Trump, the Canada-U.S. trade war and Germany's rising AfD.»»» Subscribe to the Western Standard: https://www.westernstandard.news/subscriptionFor breaking news, videos, opinion and in-depth coverage: https://www.westernstandard.news/Follow the Western Standard on X: https://x.com/WesternStandardFollow the Western Standard on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/westernstandardonline/Sign up for Western Standard newsletters: https://dashboard.mailerlite.com/forms/788568/130204520588249083/shareSupport independent journalism in Western Canada: https://www.westernstandard.news/subscription

Send us Fan MailAir conditioning, beer heists, Oktoberfest fights, and questionable science. Just another week in beer.We kick things off with a little life strategy involving air conditioning and the responsible use of PTO before getting into an increasingly frustrating problem: finding good local craft beer singles. We love trying new beers, but buying a whole four- or six-pack every time we want to check something out gets expensive fast.Up north, Canadian booze is finding itself on the wrong side of some shelves as the ongoing Canada-U.S. trade drama continues. We also take a look at which beers and beer styles are getting the most attention online based on search traffic. Does what people Google actually tell us what they're drinking? Maybe. Maybe not.Then, because apparently one Macaulay Culkin wasn't enough, we spend a little time with Macaulay Macaulay Culkin Culkin before moving on to something very serious: another massive beer heist. Beer thieves continue to dream big.Over in Germany, Oktoberfest is causing its own kind of trouble, with a fight brewing over the world's most famous beer festival. We dig into what's got people worked up and why Oktoberfest isn't always as simple as giant mugs, pretzels, and lederhosen.We also face the uncomfortable realization that pretty much everything we grew up with is now considered old, which feels unnecessary.Finally, we look at some research asking whether drinking beer can actually reduce empathy, and Samuel Adams has decided what America really needs is an inflatable beer hall.Science, crime, international conflict, existential dread, and giant inflatable beer structures. We've got it all this week.Thanks for listening to Beer Guys Radio!  Your hosts are Tim Dennis and Brian Hewitt with producer Nate "Mo' Mic Nate" Ellingson and occasional appearances from Becky Smalls.Subscribe to Beer Guys Radio on your favorite app: Apple Podcasts | Google Podcasts | Spotify | Stitcher  | RSSFollow Beer Guys Radio: Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | YouTube If you enjoy the show we'd appreciate your support on Patreon.  Patrons get cool perks like early, commercial-free episodes, swag, access to our exclusive Discord server, and more!

Jeanette Gutierrez and Kelly Sceviour would probably have never met if it weren't for the tragedy of 9/11. Jeanette was a survivor of the attacks that day in New York City — and met Kelly when she attended a 9/11 memorial in Gander, Newfoundland, 10 years ago. They talk about how they bonded as Jeanette was being "screeched in" at the local legion, and why being together on the 25th anniversary of the September 11 attacks means so much to both of them.

The curtain rises on the Toronto International Film Festival, rolling out a celebrity-filled 11 days across the city; Ontario Premier Doug Ford shuffles his cabinet in a move he says is in response to the Canada-U.S. trade war; and, Durham police make several arrests in a series of crimes targeting commercial businesses in the region.

In the latest episode of The Line Podcast, recorded on September 11th, 2026, Matt Gurney and Jen Gerson begin by marking the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. They reflect on how profoundly America changed after that morning, how the world changed with it, and how the media environment has transformed in the quarter-century since. They also consider how an attack on that scale would be covered today. Their conclusion? Worse. Much worse.This episode is brought to you by Cameco. Canada is entering a decisive decade for energy, and the nuclear reactor we choose now matters. Incomplete designs carry real risk of delays and cost overruns, and we cannot afford to spend years designing a reactor before construction begins. That is why Cameco believes the AP1000 reactor is the right choice for Canada. It is already operating globally and ready now, with 100 percent Canadian ownership and strong participation from Canadian suppliers. The AP1000 reactor means job creation and supplier contracts, energy security at home, and significant investment staying right here in Canada. A proven design, built on time and on budget. That is how we build Canada. Learn more at ap1000.cameco.com.Next, your hosts turn to drones. Canada is partnering with Ukraine as warfare rapidly evolves, and Matt explains why the deal makes a great deal of sense for both countries. Ukraine has extraordinary real-world expertise in drone warfare, while Canada urgently needs to build up its own capabilities. But buying and building drones is the easy part. What exactly is Canada going to do with them? Where will they be stored? How quickly could they be deployed? And under what circumstances might Canada actually use them in, ahem, contingencies? The technology is moving quickly. Canadian defence policy will have to keep up.This episode is also brought to you by Fractional Execs Canada. Need help with a serious business problem?

The Canada–U.S. trade war has become strangely lower-energy on the American side, and they discuss some of the reasons Washington may be increasingly hobbled in pursuing it. Then there's time for a quick tour through the AI apocalypse and the latest on Alberta's referendum.This episode is also brought to you by BioCanRx. We've been partnering with federally-funded Canadian not-for-profit BioCanRx to learn how made-in-Canada immunotherapies offer new ways to beat cancer. This September we're focusing on the “made-in-Canada” part. Since 2015 BioCanRx has supported the Canadian-Led Immunotherapies Collaborative, or CLIC, in building a truly Canadian pipeline so Canadian patients don't have to wait for cancer therapies developed elsewhere to reach a clinical trial here.In the first iteration, genetic engineering happened in labs in Vancouver, a lab in Ottawa created a viral delivery system, and a facility in Victoria modified each patient's immune cells. The resulting therapy was shipped to a research-intensive hospital where the patient received it. More than 100 patients in B.C., Alberta, Manitoba, and Ontario received treatment. Now the network is growing: new biomanufacturing facilities are preparing to produce cells in Calgary and Ottawa, and new clinical trial sites are being onboarded in other provinces. CLIC technology is being used in three active Canadian clinical trials, with more on the way.So when it comes to producing made-in-Canada cancer immunotherapies, Canada isn't starting from scratch.

-Rob dives into President Trump's marathon performance at the first GOP Midterm Convention in Dallas, where Trump mixes policy, comedy and plenty of James Talarico meat jokes while promising a $5,000 dividend to every adult American if Republicans keep the House and Senate. -Democrat Sen. John Fetterman wanders straight into the Republican convention, calls himself a “common sense Democrat,” rejects socialism and introduces GOP Sen. Dave McCormick — presumably causing several cable-news producers to reach simultaneously for the emergency button.  -Michael Charbon joins Rob from Canada for a wonderfully combative debate over Trump's tariffs, Canada-U.S. trade, the national debt, grocery and gas prices, Trump's convention speech and whether Canadians might weaponize the Welland Canal — proving international diplomacy is much more entertaining when Rob is conducting it.

When the Canada-U.S. trade negotiations broke down in spectacular fashion last month, that got us thinking about the tough negotiations playing out in our own lives right now. Whether you're battling your kid over screen time or negotiating a pay raise, how do you find a middle ground when you don't see eye-to-eye?So on this episode of Now or Never, we're bringing you stories of people on opposite sides, who are figuring out how to talk to each other.You might remember Vivian Ketchum, kookum, activist, and long-time friend of the show. After a violent incident between a security guard and a First Nations man at the Dollarama in downtown Winnipeg, Viv took to the streets protesting the security company responsible. Enter Ron D'Errico. He's the CEO of that security company, who calls Vivian his "greatest adversary." He also knows he needs to do something about racial profiling. Trevor pulls up a chair between the two, to find out how they went from butting heads to working together.In his day job as a realtor, Mohit Agarwal makes deals and encourages his clients to negotiate before signing. He says there's always a deal to be done in everyday life. So Ify joins him as he puts his skills to the test on the streets of Toronto.As one of the stars of Dragon's Den, Manjit Minhas knows what it's like to negotiate under pressure. So we asked her: how does she apply her negotiation tactics as a CEO on her own teenagers?When negotiations failed and a trade war started, Osee Podolsky knew he was in trouble. As a third-generation bee farmer near Ethelbert, Manitoba, 90 per cent of his customers were big U.S. bulk buyers. So overnight, Osee had to pivot and renegotiate in order to keep the family business buzzing.

Is Canada losing the trade war with Trump before the real fight even begins?  Preston Manning joins David Leis for a blunt conversation about Trump, tariffs, Canada-U.S. trade negotiations, and Alberta's upcoming referendum.  Manning says counter-tariffs won't solve the problem, they could leave Canadians paying the price. He argues Canada needs a better negotiating team, a smarter strategy, and a willingness to play the long game.  They also discuss why Trump's criticism gets under Canadians' skin, how Canada could reach Trump through American voters, and why Alberta's referendum could have major implications for Canada's future. 

On this episode of #TheGlobalExchange, Colin Robertson sits down with Brian Clow to discuss the lessons from Canada's original CUSMA negotiations with the Trump administration and what they mean for Canada's approach to the agreement today. // Guest bios: - Brian Clow served as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's lead on Canada–U.S. relations after President Trump's election and played a pivotal role in the renegotiation of NAFTA. // Recommended readings: - "A Certain Idea of America: Selected Writings" by Peggy Noonan. https://www.amazon.ca/Certain-Idea-America-Selected-Writings/dp/0593854772 Host bio: Colin Robertson is a former diplomat and Senior Advisor to the Canadian Global Affairs Institute. // Music Credit: Drew Phillips | Producer: Judy Alomari // Recording Date: August 28, 2026 Release date: September 7, 2026

The Herle Burly was created by Air Quotes Media with support from our presenting sponsor TELUS, as well as CN Rail.Greetings, you curiouser and curiouser Herle Burly-ites! Back in July, the Wall Street Journal ran a striking series on how Europe is quietly rethinking its arrangements with the world to counter a changing, increasingly predatory United States. And surprisingly, named Mark Carney as one of the leaders pushing Europe in that direction, pointing back to his Davos speech and his idea of "variable geometry" alliances replacing the old hub-and-spoke reliance on Washington. We want to explore these themes: what does it means for institutions like NATO and the G7 to become secondary to newer, looser alignments? How does the Western world meet the challenge of China going forward? And what does all of this mean for Canada's economy and its place in the world?To dig into it, we bring in two brilliant people today: Jennifer Welsh and Colin Robertson.Jennifer Welsh is a four-time guest of the pod, Rhodes Scholar, co-founder of the Oxford Institute for Ethics, Law and Armed Conflict. Currently, the Director of the Max Bell School of Public Policy at McGill University.And making his first appearance, Colin Robertson. He served as a Canadian diplomat for over 30 years. He helped negotiate the original Canada/U.S. Free Trade Agreement and NAFTA. Currently, he's a Fellow at the Canadian Global Affairs Institute and host of its Global Exchange podcast.They dig into why countries from Europe to Australia to South Korea are hedging their bets on America, what "variable geometry" actually looks like in practice, whether the G7 and G20 are still fit for the world we live in, and some genuinely concrete questions too. Like whether Canada should still buy the F-35, and why Mexico deserves to be treated as a real ally rather than a partner of convenience. A fascinating, wide-ranging conversation about what's replacing the old international order, and Canada's surprising role at the centre of it. Stay with us for the hour. Thank you for joining us on #TheHerleBurly podcast.

After three months of gains, Canada's job market has suddenly stalled. Statistics Canada says the economy lost 42,000 jobs in August.And: Amid the latest escalation in the Canada-U.S. trade war, our correspondent Catharine Tunney travelled to Michigan to find out how Americans in that border state are feeling ahead of fall midterm elections.Also: Canada should prepare for a climate that's 3.5 to 5 degrees warmer. A new federal report says reducing greenhouse gas emissions could keep it on the lower side.Plus: Manitoba Hydro's plans to burn more fossil fuels, duelling visions of Alberta separatism, Lindsay Clancy mistrial, and more.

Canada's promised retaliatory dollar-for-dollar tariffs come into effect at 12:01 AM Tuesday. A former U.S. ambassador to Canada joins Power & Politics to discuss whether the Canada-U.S. relationship can survive this trade war — plus the Power Panel perspective. We also hear part of a CBC exclusive interview with the Democratic nominee for Senate in Michigan.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and Ontario Premier Doug Ford are using very different tactics in the ongoing Canada-U.S. trade war. As Smith travels to Nashville, we ask whether her kill them with kindness approach is working. And Alberta's senior representative in Washington, Nathan Cooper, weighs in on the delicate dance of diplomacy in Donald Trump's America.To put it all in context, two conservative insiders join host Kathleen Petty. Evan Menzies worked with the United Conservative Party, and before that with Smith during the early days of the Wildrose Party. Cole Hogan helped get both Doug Ford and former Alberta premier Jason Kenney elected. Together, they break down the politics behind the premiers' actions and whether these strategies will make headway toward renewed trade talks or at least less punishing tariffs.Host: Kathleen PettyGuests: Nathan Cooper, Evan Menzies, Cole HoganProducers: Emily Senger, Emily Williams, Diane Yanko, Josh Pagé

Over the summer we partnered with federally-funded Canadian not-for-profit BioCanRx to learn how made-in-Canada immunotherapies offer new ways to beat cancer. This September, we want to better understand the “made-in-Canada” part. Many drugs discovered in Canada leave to be developed and commercialized in the United States –– with the benefits accruing there. Completely made-in-Canada immunotherapies are rare because Canada doesn't have a major domestic pharma company to support the development costs or regulatory requirements. BioCanRx is one of the rare not-for-profits with the capacity and expertise to help move Canadian-discovered and manufactured immunotherapies towards the market, both through translational research funding and regulatory support. Promising examples include several therapies now in clinical trials through the Canadian-Led Immunotherapies Collaborative, or CLIC, which are fully designed and manufactured in Canada to target certain blood cancers and, more recently, solid tumours. More on those next time. Visit BioCanRx.com to learn more.All that and more in the latest episode of The Line Podcast. Check out our main page at ReadTheLine.ca.

In just over a month, Quebecers will head to the ballot box. And, until recently, this election seemed like a foregone conclusion: the Parti Quebecois, running on a promise to hold another independence referendum, had been ahead in the polls for the better part of three years.Then, the Canada-U.S. trade talks collapsed, and Quebec's political future suddenly looks uncertain. The governing Coalition Avenir Quebec has surged from a distant fourth place, the PQ has shelved its referendum until after Donald Trump leaves office, and the U.S. commerce secretary has accused Mark Carney of “manufacturing” a fight over the French language to stop the sovereigntists from winning.Paul Journet is a political columnist for La Presse, and he unpacks what this election means for the province – and for the rest of the country.For transcripts of Front Burner, please visit: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/frontburner/transcripts

As if small businesses didn't have enough daily challenges, now the federal agency that's supposed to have their back is redefining what it is to be small. The SBA proposes granting large conglomerates eligibility to compete for the same small business funding pot and resources. Host Gene Marks says such a move will create additional barriers. From barriers to borders, the Canada-U.S. trade standoff has the two lobbing massive percentage spikes on top of imported goods, so Gene offers a few workarounds. In AI news, Google sees prices for tech becoming cost-prohibitive so it proposed a pay-as-you-go plan, which Gene says could work but owners should do a cost analysis. Listen to the podcast.

Prime Minister Mark Carney has received praise globally for walking away from trade talks with the United States. Will the world follow his show of defiance?

In this episode of Canadian Macro, Simon and Dan are joined by Ben Rabidoux and Ron Butler for a wide-ranging discussion on the renewed U.S.-Canada trade tensions and what they could mean for the Canadian economy. They discuss why the trade war could weigh on consumer confidence, business investment, housing activity and key sectors like autos, agriculture, energy and manufacturing. The conversation also covers how political rhetoric, counter-tariffs and uncertainty around future U.S. policy could keep buyers and businesses on the sidelines. Ben breaks down what he is seeing in the Canadian housing market, including why parts of Ontario may be moving closer to a bottom, why housing bottoms tend to be a multi-year process, and how weak consumer confidence, affordability challenges and falling new supply are shaping the outlook. Ron joins the discussion to explain what is happening on the mortgage front, including why more borrowers are moving toward variable rates, how household stress is showing up in refinancing and debt consolidation, and why power-of-sale activity could continue rising into 2027. The episode also covers the K-shaped economy, weakening consumer spending, Canadian bank risks, mortgage fraud, potential U.S. pressure on Canadian financial institutions, and why the next phase of the trade war could have major implications for markets, housing and the broader economy.

Rudyard and Andrew unpack a consequential week in the Canada-U.S. trade war, from Trump's increasingly erratic and provocative behaviour—including the absurd renaming of Lake Ontario—to his apparent preference for perpetual conflict over a lasting trade peace. Andrew believes Canada needs to diversify trade and reduce its vulnerability to U.S. pressure and manipulation. Will Trump's approach alienate his Republican base ahead of the midterms? How are Canadian politicians capitalizing on the moment? And how much economic pain Canada is prepared to absorb? Andrew is optimistic that Canada is ready to hunker down for a long fight, potentially longer than Americans are prepared for.Become a Munk Donor ($50 annually) to get 72-hour advanced access to the full length editions of Friday Focus and Munk Dialogues.

Rudyard and Andrew react to the intensifying Canada-U.S. trade war. Trump is threatening additional tariffs starting January 1, and it's increasingly clear he was intent on escalating regardless of whether or not Carney walked away from the deal. Carney is putting his Davos message into action: middle powers need to free themselves from the grip of hegemons. It was the right call, with broad agreement in Canada that we cannot allow Trump to bully us into submission. There will be costs, but the cost of staying at the table may have been greater.Should Canada pursue retaliatory tariffs? Will other countries being targeted by Trump follow Canada's lead? And finally, can Canada use the upcoming U.S. midterms to pressure Trump into a better deal?Become a Munk Donor ($50 annually) to get 72-hour advanced access to the full length editions of Friday Focus and Munk Dialogues.
