U.S. President Donald Trump has made another surprise announcement – dropping tariffs against most countries to 10 per cent. The major exception – China. That country will see a jump to 125 per cent. Trump's moves have roiled the stock market, and the foundation of the financial system – the bond market. Our senior business correspondent Peter Armstrong explains what it all means.And: On the federal election campaign trail, the Conservatives are pitching a “three strikes and you're out” policy on bail reform. But is it constitutional?Also: Another Trump policy is having an effect in Canada – leading to a sudden rise in the number of asylum seekers arriving from the U.S.. A surge that began after the Trump administration ended protections for some refugees.Plus: Dozens dead after Israeli airstrike, shortage of skilled tradespeople in Canada, and more.

U.S. President Donald Trump announced 125 per cent tariffs on China and a sudden 90-day pause for new tariffs on other countries — with Canada unaffected. CBC's Katie Simpson and Peter Armstrong sort through the confusion after the U.S. treasury secretary erroneously said Canada would face broad 10 per cent tariffs, and the Power Panel grades Trump's trade and economic performance during this 'reciprocal tariff' saga. Plus, the co-leaders of the Green Party argue against a 'two-party binary choice' between the Liberals and Conservatives, and say that proposals for fossil fuel development with net-zero emissions progress are 'not possible.'

There's still not a lot of detail on what caused yesterday's crash at Pearson airport in Toronto. What we do know: all 80 people on board survived. We have some of their stories, and details on the safety features and protocols that may have kept them alive. Representatives for the U.S. and Russia met in Saudi Arabia today to discuss multiple issues – including Ukraine. Not on the invite list: anyone from Ukraine. Moscow and Washington have agreed to appoint a negotiating group, ostensibly to find an end to the war. Ukraine and Europe want to know how that happens without Kyiv. On the one hand: a tax holiday. On the other: rising energy prices. Both of those played a part in January's inflation rate. Canada's consumer price index rose to 1.9 per cent. Peter Armstrong tells us what that means for your wallet, and what it could mean for the next interest rate setting. Plus: DOGE claims it has cut $55 billion in U.S. government spending, Hamas pledges to release six hostages on Saturday, and more.

Listening tip If you think an hour-long podcast is too long for you, we recommend you think about it diffently. The overall idea with us doing these long podcasts (we've done 400 of them by now, and they are all one hour long) is that our listeners listen to them for instance when they are in transport – sitting in a car or train – and press the pause button in the podcast player when they reach their destination. And then press play and listen onwards next time they are back in transport. In other words, cut it up in smaller bits suitable to you. You, not we, decide where to make the breaks yourself.  Support the show: https://www.climactic.fm/p/support-the-collective/

Are Millennials Really Fueling the Amenities Arms Race|An interview with Peter Armstrong Millennials may have caused a 31 percent uptick in houseplant sales in 2016, but are they also responsible for the “amenities arms race” happening in urban centers across America? According to Peter Armstrong, Vice President at The Georgetown Company, the answer is simply: no. It turns out that this much hyped generation isn’t so different from their Baby Boomer or Generation X predecessors when it comes to choosing where and how to live, and many Millennials may not even have the disposable income to live in the trendiest areas of town. Gensler’s Residential Practice Area Leader Phil Esocoff had a conversation with Peter to talk about how amenities in residential apartment spaces can contribute to increased well being across generations, how developers and leasing companies are reimagining what amenities can be, and which amenities will stand the test of time. Rooftops and gyms and community pools – oh my! The Washington Post recently reported on a National Apartment Association study that surveyed 100,000 individuals across 35 U.S. states on which amenities in modern apartments provide the highest return on investment for owners and operators, and which are the most popular among tenants in apartment communities. The results found that half of the top 10 offerings centered around bringing people together, favoring smaller units that allow for larger club rooms and common areas. In Phil’s conversation with Peter, the two discuss how, in fact, communal activities like discounted gym classes within residential buildings and the vibrancy of the neighborhood outside are becoming increasingly attractive amenities for tenants as opposed to more traditional offerings. Phil: You claim to be an aging millennial… What do you think the future of millennials will be in buildings as they age? Peter: Oftentimes, when you hear the word millennial used in media, it... feels a bit of a slur, so I'm here to speak on behalf of all of us, that we're not snake people. We're not aliens. We're just the next generation coming down the line. I think there's a lot of obsession in the general media about millennials and their demographics, and their choices, and how that's affecting all facets of our society, culture, and economy. The building industry is no different, but I think [millennials are] attracted to the same things that we all generally are… There are plenty of buildings in town that everyone thought would have an entirely millennial market, and you have plenty of people in there well beyond their upper 30s that are attracted to living in a great building that has efficient layouts with a high-quality finish. It's not just millennials who like the rooftop experience. It's not just millennials who want a nice gym. I think it's most people in an urban setting, so I don't lose a lot of sleep over whether XYZ project is going to be the coolest, hippest shiny object that's going to attract the millennial. Phil: Do you think it's more a taste-culture issue? Because I think there are people who like to live in buildings of a certain character and layout and live in certain neighborhoods, and those people could be of any age. Peter: I think that it's much more driven by cultural factors and a taste preference than it is a pure age and cohort. I think there's a certain type of person who's really attracted to the vibrancy of an urban environment, and... there are certain millennials that like that, and there's certain people that are Generation X and above that like and are attracted to the same experience. It's much more neighborhood-driven, and about what's going on outside the building, in the neighborhood, within six blocks. It's got to work for the person's lifestyle, right? It's got to be convenient to get to and from work. It's got to fit the budget. I think you're just much better off focusing and making sure that you're building a great product that has the elements that are going to attract all the people that want to be in that environment rather than trying to design a product and obsessing over whether you need a Twitter wall to drive tenant attraction and tenant retention. I think you don't need those types of gimmicks. You just focus on a great building with high-quality, nice finishes in a good location, and you're going to be just fine.

Episode #147 is a part two of a conversation with Scott Patten and Peter Armstrong from LeanPub.com (listen to part one in episode #140). They want to be THE website for publishing "in-progress books". In this episode, we are talking about how they are applying the concepts of the Lean Startup methodology to their service and their business. We'll talk about some of my own experiences as an early adopter and later as an actual user -- what have they learned along the way and how do they use lean methods to be innovative? Conflict of interest disclosure: I have published two blog compilations via their service, a Best of Lean Blog 2011 book and a Best of 2012 book that is being published incrementally throughout the year. I'm a huge raving fan of their service and the way Scott and Peter have worked with me as I learned and used Leanpub.com.  To point others to this, use the simple URL: www.leanblog.org/147.
