As part of Canada's new trade deal with China, 49,000 Chinese-manufactured electric vehicles will be allowed to be sold in the Canadian market this year. It's a big change from our previous 100 per cent tariff on Chinese-made cars. Auto leaders and Ontario Premier Doug Ford have criticized the deal, saying it puts the country's auto sector at risk when it's already facing pressure from the U.S. and Donald Trump's tariffs.Dimitry Anastakis is a professor at the University of Toronto in the Department of History and the Rotman School of Management, and his research focuses on the development of the Canadian auto industry. He analyzes what this deal means for jobs in the auto sector, how it could affect Canadians looking to buy EVs and what it could mean for renegotiating the USMCA.Questions? Comments? Ideas?

In this episode of The Food Professor Podcast, hosts Michael LeBlanc and Dr. Sylvain Charlebois unpack two powerful and timely themes shaping Canada's food system: the shifting geopolitical landscape of agri-food and the growing threat of food fraud. The episode opens with a wide-ranging news segment focused on Canada's evolving trade relationship with China, recent developments at Davos, and new data on food inflation.Sylvain shares insights from Manitoba Ag Days, where optimism is building among farmers following Canada's short-term agricultural trade deal with China, particularly for canola, lobster, and beef exports. The hosts explore the strategic implications of re-opening Chinese markets, noting how geopolitical uncertainty is now a permanent feature of food systems. Sylvain argues that Canada must invest more heavily in domestic manufacturing, modernize supply management, and incentivize green technologies to strengthen long-term food sovereignty. The conversation also turns to food inflation, with Sylvain explaining why Canada's 6.2% food inflation rate cannot be blamed solely on the GST holiday, pointing instead to opportunistic pricing and structural inefficiencies across the supply chain.The second half of the episode features a compelling interview with Deleo de Leonardis, CEO and Co-Founder of Purity IQ, a science-based company specializing in food and supplement authenticity testing. Drawing on her 30-year career in grocery retail, including two decades at Sobeys, Deleo explains how food fraud represents one of the most underestimated risks in modern retail. While many companies rely on basic identity testing, Deleo highlights the critical difference between identity and authenticity: a product may technically meet regulatory standards while still being diluted, substituted, or adulterated.Deleo introduces advanced tools such as nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and DNA-based testing, which allow for non-targeted analysis at the molecular level. This approach enables Purity IQ to detect unknown adulterants and inconsistencies across batches—something traditional testing methods often miss. She outlines high-risk categories such as olive oil, honey, fish, avocado oil, sesame oil, and dietary supplements, emphasizing that food fraud is an opportunistic crime driven by global supply shocks, climate events, tariffs, and geopolitical instability.Together, the episode paints a sobering picture: as supply chains become more complex and economic pressures rise, food authenticity will become a defining issue for retailers, brands, and regulators alike. The hosts conclude that in an era of shrinking trust and rising prices, transparency and scientific verification may be the only sustainable path forward for the global food industry.

He examines whether the agreement balances economic opportunity with national security concerns, and its significance for Western Canada's agriculture and energy sectors.

“We take the world as it is, not as we wish it to be,” Prime Minister Mark Carney said when questioned by a reporter on the ethics of Canada's new economic and trade relationship with China. Prime Minister Mark Carney's recent trade mission to China highlights a crucial shift in Canada's approach to international relations, emphasizing a pragmatic approach to foreign economic policy in what he has controversially described as "a new order" in the world. This includes navigating the complexities of Canada China trade deal discussions and the implications of US Trump tariffs, as Canada has no choice but to seek economic relations with increasingly authoritarian global superpowers.Tune into Episode 347 of The Bill Kelly Podcast for conversations in critical times and daily politics news updates.This news podcast episode was recorded on January 19, 2026.Don't forget to like, share, comment and subscribe to support Bill's work.

From an energy perspective, the deal opens the door to co-operation on conventional and low-carbon technologies, but it also raises concerns about national security and economic dependence on a market that has used trade as a political tool. To break down the energy side of the agreement, Evan welcomes Heather Exner-Pirot, Senior Fellow and Director of Energy, Natural Resources and Environment at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute back to the show.
From an economic perspective, the Canada–China deal could boost Canadian exports, and open key markets for canola, pulses, and other agricultural products. It may also encourage investment, create jobs, and strengthen trade ties. To take a closer look at this deal Evan is joined by Jason Childs, University of Regina professor of economics.

Trump and Xi finally sat down for the first in-person meeting of this new administration, and I won't lie — there was a lot of hype going into this one. There were whispers about a grand bargain, even murmurs of a complete game-changer announcement. Maybe China would distance itself from Russia. Maybe there'd be some kind of century-defining move on Taiwan. Earlier this week, anything seemed possible.What we got was something a lot less dramatic: a truce. Not a full-blown trade deal. A trade truce. And honestly, I was a little disappointed.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.So here's what went down. China made a few big concessions. They agreed to immediately buy 12 million metric tons of U.S. soybeans and promised to keep it going at 25 million tons per year for three years. They also agreed to suspend their new rare earth export controls for a year and curb fentanyl precursor production — a big issue in the U.S. Beyond that, China made a surprise move by signaling interest in American energy and even hinted at joining a natural gas pipeline project in Alaska. That last bit came totally out of nowhere.In return, the United States is lowering tariffs on Chinese goods by 10 percentage points, which still leaves them at a hefty 45 percent. We're also postponing an investigation into Chinese shipping practices, which would have imposed new port taxes. There's a delay on export restrictions for blacklisted Chinese firms for one year. Now, don't get too excited — Trump made clear that China won't be getting its hands on Nvidia's top-shelf Blackwell chips, though some older GPUs will still be allowed to be sold. There was talk about ending Russia's war in Ukraine, but nothing about China stopping its oil purchases from Russia. And most notably, no mention of Taiwan at all.Honestly, when I look at this, I think Trump and Xi were made for each other. Normally, trade deals take forever, get wrapped in ceremony, and then quietly fall apart when China decides not to follow through. U.S. leaders usually just shrug and move on, chalking it all up to classic maneuvers on their part. But Trump doesn't play that game. If he doesn't like a deal, he changes it. If China doesn't hold up their end, he goes right back at them. And I have to say, there's a certain clarity in that approach. It's not exactly stable, but it's a little more to-the-point.I'll admit, I got a little swept up in the pre-meeting hype. I thought maybe we'd see something big, something that could define this administration's approach to foreign policy. But now that I've had time to let it all sink in, here's what I'm left with: this matters. Maybe not as much as I hoped it would, but it still matters. Because the American economy — and by extension, our elections — are tied so closely to what happens with China. If this truce brings even a little stability, it could have ripple effects that shape 2025 and beyond.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:02:18 - US-China Deal00:09:39 - Interview with Gabe Fleisher00:31:10 - Update00:31:27 - Shutdown Progress00:33:59 - Jasmine Crockett00:37:02 - Elise Stefanik00:40:13 - Interview with Gabe Fleisher, con't01:08:29 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

The shutdown is forcing controllers to work without pay, and officials warn more disruptions could follow.The United States and China have agreed on a framework for a new trade deal as President Donald Trump continues his Asia trip. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said upcoming talks between Trump and China's Xi Jinping will also touch on global issues, from fentanyl to the Russia–Ukraine war. Meanwhile, Chinese bombers flew near Taiwan in what Beijing called “confrontation drills”—just days ahead of Trump's scheduled meeting with the Chinese leader in Korea.French police arrested two men on Saturday night in connection with the theft of royal jewels from the Louvre in Paris.

Police are now searching for the two remaining suspects. The stolen collection includes a diamond tiara and a necklace once worn by Empress Eugénie, the wife of Napoleon III.
On today's podcast:1) Top trade negotiators for the US and China said they came to terms on a range of contentious points, setting the table for leaders Donald Trump and Xi Jinping to finalize a deal and ease trade tensions that have rattled global markets. After two days of talks in Malaysia wrapped up Sunday, a Chinese official said the two sides reached a preliminary consensus on topics including export controls, fentanyl and shipping levies. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, speaking later in an interview with CBS News, said Trump’s threat of 100% tariffs on Chinese goods “is effectively off the table” and he expected the Asian nation to make “substantial” soybean purchases as well as offer a deferral on sweeping rare earth controls.2) President Trump said he didn’t anticipate meeting with Canada “for a while” as he continued to stew over a TV advertisement by the province of Ontario that criticized his tariff regime. Trump in recent days has said he was increasing the tariff on goods from Canada by 10% over the ad, which features excerpts of former US President Ronald Reagan criticizing tariffs. Ontario Premier Doug Ford had said he would stop airing the ad after the weekend, but Trump has expressed frustration that the Canadian leader didn’t move to immediately pull the commercial, which has aired during US broadcasts of the World Series.3) As the US government shutdown stumbles toward the one-month mark, the effects of the standoff between Republicans and Democrats are being felt further away from the Capitol, as flights back up and food aid dwindles. US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy warned that travelers will face more flight delays and cancellations in the coming weeks as the continuing shutdown exacerbates the air-traffic controller staffing crunch.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On today's podcast:1) President Trump is aiming for a quick win in a pivotal Thursday meeting with Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping, even if the outcome falls short of the sweeping deal he’s teased on issues at the heart of the rivalry between the world’s two largest economies. Ahead of the sit-down, the US president said he wants to extend a pause on higher tariffs on Chinese goods in exchange for Xi resuming American soybean purchases, cracking down on fentanyl and backing off restrictions on rare-earth exports — all while maintaining some trade barriers he sees as essential.2) President Trump said he would immediately halt all trade negotiations with Canada, citing a Canadian advertisement against his signature tariffs plan featuring the voice of former President Ronald Reagan. The ad in question comprises excerpts from an address Reagan gave in 1987 in which he defended the principles of free trade and slammed tariffs as an outdated idea that stifles innovation, drives up prices and hurts US workers. Funded by the government of Ontario, the ad seeks to sow doubt among Republican voters by using one of the party’s most iconic voices. 3) Senate Democrats blocked a Republican measure aimed at paying military troops and some federal workers during the US government shutdown in the latest sign the spending deadlock shows no sign of ending. The vote on Thursday to advance the bill failed on a 54 to 45 vote, with 60 votes needed. Democrats have blocked a temporary spending measure 12 times in the Senate since, arguing that they cannot support it without new healthcare spending attached. Despite the ongoing shutdown, the Bureau of Labor Statistics is set to release the long-delayed September CPI report on Friday at 8:30 a.m. Eastern time.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Examples of Price Disparities: Our podcast cites stark contrasts in drug prices between the U.S. and countries like Australia, Sweden, and the UK. Executive Orders: Trump’s administration directed agencies to: Prevent foreign countries from undercutting U.S. drug prices. Allow Americans to buy drugs directly from manufacturers at the lowest global price. Impose rules if pharmaceutical companies fail to comply. Criticism of the Biden Administration: The text claims that Biden reversed Trump-era reforms and negotiated higher drug prices, allegedly due to influence from pharmaceutical lobbyists. 2.
