U.S. President Donald Trump is expected to unveil the full scope of his tariffs plan Wednesday afternoon, a trade policy he says will liberate his country from reliance on foreign goods. Guest host Mark Kelley discusses the economic and political fallout for Canada with former federal minister Lisa Raitt, and Carlo Dade, director of trade and trade infrastructure for the Canada West Foundation.

The trade war with Donald Trump has left many Canadians angry and worried. In response to Trump's steel and aluminium tariffs, Canada announced retaliatory tariffs on U.S. imported goods worth $29.8 billion. But Trump is not backing down, and is still continuing with his “51st state” taunts. So, how should Canada respond? What options do we have? Carlo Dade is the director of international policy in the school of public policy at the University of Calgary. He is also a senior fellow at the Canada West Foundation. He joined us to take caller questions about Canada's tariff retaliation plan. 

Yeah, we know everyone is talking about it. Tariffs. It's not just about the big players though. We talk to Calgary underwear company Devon + Lang and trade expert Carlo Dade about what the changing relationship with our neighbours means for business in this city and province, and why the Canada-U.S. relationship isn't about friendship.

Guest host, Syd Smith chats with Carlo Dade, Director of International Policy, University of Calgary.

Finance Minister Dominic LeBlanc says he's convinced Canada will prevail against Trump's sweeping tariffs, but admits things could get rough in the meantime. He explains what the federal government is doing to win this fight and support Canadians, an effort that global trade expert Carlo Dade calls a “really difficult balancing act.”

It's not just about tariffs. If you examine what the America First advisers around Trump really think, you'll understand their determination to undertake a sweeping overhaul of the global economic system — and why they're starting with Canada. Brian's guests this week, trade researcher Carlo Dade, from the Canada West Foundation, and Ian Lee, public policy professor at Carlton University, have done their homework. That's unlike many of our political leaders, who seem oblivious to the real threats — or who, worse, like certain Liberals, think they can exploit a destructive tariff war for partisan gain. As Ian and Carlo tell Brian, the people around Trump aren't scared of higher import prices, and what they're really interested in from Canada doesn't even seem to be on Ottawa's radar.

Time's up for anyone mulling a bid to lead the Liberal Party. With the deadline to enter behind them, candidates have just a few days left to sign up new members, and a little over a month to drum up support. One of the frontrunners joins The House in studio: former finance minister Chrystia Freeland sits down with host Catherine Cullen to make her case for running the countryThen: Ontario Premier Doug Ford has confirmed he'll call a snap election next week and send Ontarians to the polls at the end of February. The Toronto Star's Queen's Park bureau chief discusses whether voters will reward Ford, or if they'll be turned off by the timing.After that, we take a close look at an ongoing economic headache that doesn't involve Donald Trump: trade between provinces. Premiers hope that breaking through interprovincial barriers can in fact better protect against Trump's tariffs. But experts and former officials say getting rid of those barriers is a tall order — and there hasn't been much success in the past.Finally, as several Liberal leadership candidates distance themselves from the carbon tax, and as Donald Trump continues to threaten Canada's economy, do the Conservatives need to shift their campaign focus? Two strategists weigh in on how their party is reacting to recent events.This episode features the voices of:Chrystia Freeland, Liberal leadership candidateRobert Benzie, Queen's Park bureau chief for the Toronto StarPhilippe Couillard, former Quebec premierPerrin Beatty, former federal cabinet ministerCarlo Dade, director of trade infrastructure at the Canada West FoundationChad Rogers, Conservative strategistFred DeLorey, Conservative strategist

ATB Financial's Chief Economist, Todd Hirsch, is joined by Carlo Dade, Director - Trade and Investment Centre, Canada West Foundation. Todd and Carlo unpack the complex topic of trade and the future of trade with one of Canada's largest trading partners, China. What is the future of trade with China as it emerges as the largest global economy? Since Canada's exports serve the global middle class, as China's middle class continues to grow, the opportunities for Canada to export more goods and services grows as well.  How will entrepreneurs or business owners navigate trade relations and supply chains? How do we create a world where two economic systems co-exist?

Canada has traditionally been a major exporter of both agricultural commodities, technology, equipment and food. Yet, in many ways, Canada's position in global food exports indicates good potential for growth. In 2019, Canada ranked fifth among global commodity exporters and 11th in food. As the world's population expands and especially the portion of it that is “middle class” grows, demand for better quality and higher-priced food will climb, which in turn creates opportunities for Canada to increase exports both to meet this need directly and to meet the technology and equipment needs for others who will also be increasing production to meet increased demand The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the global food industry and highlighted the importance of a robust agrifood supply chain at home and abroad. Canada's competitive advantage in agriculture and food production are very relevant with abundant natural resources, productivity, innovative entrepreneurs and a well-established food safety reputation. The Canadian government's 2017 objective for agricultural commodities and food exports is to reach C$75 billion by 2025. So far, export have increased from $61 billion in 2015 to $67 billion in 2019, with most of the export growth driven by exports to the US. The speaker will argue, that there's great potential for growth in agrifood export to other countries beyond the US and particularly to China and South-East Asia. Speakers: Carlo Dade and Sharon Sun As Director of the Trade & Investment Centre, Carlo Dade develops and leads research to promote growth and profitability in western Canada's export economy. Carlo has a long history in international public policy most recently as Senior Fellow in the University of Ottawa's School of International Development and Senior Associate at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, D.C. He is also a member of the Mexican Council on Foreign Relations (COMEXI). Carlo has been a leading voice in debates on recent Canadian free trade agreements and development of trade infrastructure. He is a leading global expert on pan-Pacific trade, including the Trans-Pacific Partnership and Pacific Alliance trade blocs As the Trade Policy Economist at the Canada West Foundation, Sharon Zhengyang Sun specializes in international trade and trade infrastructure policy research. She has taken the lead on research projects including the impact of Made-in-China 2025 on Canadian trade and western Canadian export opportunities with Japan under the CPTPP. Other work include the impact of Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership agreement on western Canada, addressing Chinese non-tariff barriers on Canadian agricultural exports among other trade agreement and trade related issues.
