To burner phone or not to burner phone? The current debate on social media amid heightened searches of personal electronic devices by US immigration officers. Combined with new requirements for Canadians travelling to the US, such as mandatory registration with the American government for a 30+ day stay, as well as frightening headlines of travelers being detained at the border - Canadians are rightfully turned off from the US. But for those who don't have the choice to opt out of travel, what can they expect, and are they safe? Host Maria Kestane speaks to Frédéric Dimanche, Director and Professor of the Ted Rogers School of Hospitality and Tourism, about what the current climate of Canada-US travel safety looks like, and what Canadians should expect when - or *if* - they head south.We love feedback at The Big Story, as well as suggestions for future episodes.

While the United States' 25 percent tariffs on Canadian imports are on hold, observers said the tariffs will return if Canada fails to meet further US demands, and the bilateral relationship would remain challenging.尽管目前美国对加拿大进口商品征收25%关税的命令处于暂停状态，但观察人士表示，如果加拿大无法满足美国的进一步要求，关税将再次实施，双边关系仍面临挑战。During the 30-day suspension of the 25 percent tariff, Adam Chapnick, a professor of defense studies at the Royal Military College of Canada, contended that negotiations between Canada and the US will proceed quietly and in conjunction with discussions with Mexico.加拿大国防研究领域学者、皇家军事学院教授亚当·查普尼克认为，在25%关税暂缓实施的30天内，加拿大与美国将悄然进行谈判，并与和墨西哥的讨论同步开展。"However, if Canada fails to meet further US demands, the tariffs could certainly return," he told China Daily.他告诉《中国日报》：“然而，如果加拿大不能满足美国的进一步要求，关税肯定会再次实施。”He said that "most Canadian officials assume that US President Donald Trump will reiterate his demand that Canada drastically increase defense spending".他表示，“大多数加拿大官员认为，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普将重新要求加拿大大幅增加国防开支。”Canada is one of eight NATO countries out of 30 that are estimated to be falling short of the NATO defense spending target of 2 percent, according to Canadian broadcaster CBC News, which reported that Ottawa was estimated to spend about 1.37 percent of GDP in 2024.据加拿大广播公司报道，北约30个成员国中有8个国家的国防开支预计未达到北约国防开支目标（占GDP的2%），加拿大就是其中之一。该报道称，渥太华2024年的国防开支预估约占其GDP的1.37%。Canadian Defense Minister Bill Blair told CBC News last month that it was "absolutely achievable" for Canada to meet the spending level in two years.加拿大国防部长比尔·布莱尔上个月告诉加拿大广播公司说，加拿大在两年内达到这一开支水平是“绝对可以实现的”。Public Safety Canada announced an expansion of its $1.3 billion border security plan on Feb 4, introducing measures such as appointing a fentanyl monitor to enhance interdiction efforts with US counterparts.2月4日，加拿大公共安全部宣布扩大一项投资13亿美元的边境安全计划，并采取任命芬太尼监测员等措施以加强与美国的拦截合作。"It's necessary and should have been made regardless of President Trump's demands," Chapnick said. "While the US president's stance may have slightly accelerated moves that would have and should have been made anyway, the decision aligns with Canada's preexisting security objectives," he said.查普尼克说：“这一做法是必要且应当的，无论特朗普总统提出什么要求。虽然美国总统的立场可能略微加速了一些本来就会进行、也应该进行的行动，但这一决定符合加拿大既定的安全目标。”M. Scott Taylor, former president and fellow of the Canadian Economics Association, said he expects the tariff situation to be resolved within the 30-day window and that a Canadian response to harden the border and start renegotiating the trade deal will happen.加拿大经济学协会前主席兼会员斯科特·泰勒表示，他预计关税问题将在30天窗口期内得到解决，而加拿大也将采取行动，加强边境管控并开始重新谈判贸易协议。"Canada could and should liberalize trade in dairy products as a means to placate American demands," he told China Daily.他告诉《中国日报》：“加拿大可以也应该放宽乳制品贸易，以平息美国的要求。”However, he noted that the bilateral relationship will remain challenging as long as Trump is in office.但他也指出，只要特朗普在任，双边关系将继续面临挑战。Taylor said if the tariffs remain in place, it will underscore the need for Canada to diversify export markets. And significant opposition to tariffs is likely to come from the US business community.泰勒说，如果关税继续存在，这将凸显加拿大实现出口市场多元化的必要性。而且，美国商界很可能会对关税表示强烈反对。Consequences foreseen预见的后果For Canadian consumers and businesses, Taylor predicted that the Canadian dollar is likely to fall, driving up the price of groceries and imported inputs.泰勒预测，对于加拿大消费者和企业来说，加元可能会贬值，从而导致食品和进口产品价格上涨。He said he anticipates a small uptick in inflation, but it will be temporary. "If the 25 percent tariffs become permanent, it would lower Canadian GDP and limit our growth prospects," he said.他预计通胀率会小幅上升，但只是暂时的。“如果25%的关税成为永久，加拿大的国内生产总值将降低，增长前景也会受到限制，”他说。Sui Sui, a professor at the Ted Rogers School of Management at Toronto Metropolitan University, characterized the US tariffs as a form of economic imperialism.多伦多城市大学特德·罗杰斯管理学院教授隋绥将美国的关税称为一种“经济帝国主义”。She argued that the US imposes tariffs as a tool of pressure against countries that do not comply with its demands.她认为，美国将关税作为工具，用来对不遵守其要求的国家施加压力。Sui said that because more than 70 percent of Canada's exports go to the US, the levies have the potential to severely undermine integrated supply chains.隋绥说，由于加拿大70%以上的出口产品流向美国，这些关税有可能严重破坏一体化供应链。Sui said she expects the tariffs to lead to higher costs for businesses and Canadian consumers.隋绥表示，她预计关税将导致企业和加拿大消费者的成本上升。"If our exports decline, it's not just businesses that are hurt—that would increase the price of groceries, as well as other imported products," she said, adding the government would also have less money to fund social welfare, infrastructure and education.她表示，“如果我们的出口下降，受伤害的不仅仅是企业——还将导致食品和其他进口产品的价格上涨”。她补充说，政府也将没有足够的资金用于社会福利、基础设施、教育。In retaliation against the US tariffs, Canada announced its own reciprocal tariffs. But Sui said Canadian tariffs should focus on targeting certain sectors in the US so it can have a strong economic impact but minimize damage to its own economy.为回击美国加征关税，加拿大宣布了自己的报复性加税。但隋绥说，加拿大应该针对美国的某些行业加税，这样既可以产生剧烈的经济影响，又能将自身经济的损害降到最低。"A broad boycott of all US goods isn't realistic," she said. Instead, Sui suggested focusing on companies that previously had Canadian manufacturing operations but relocated to the US due to US pressure.“大范围抵制所有美国商品是不现实的，”她说。相反，隋绥建议将重点放在那些之前曾在加拿大设有制造业务，但由于美国压力而迁至美国的公司上。"We can encourage them to return by requiring more domestic sourcing and production," she said.“我们可以通过增加国内采购和生产来鼓励它们回流，”她说。Sui said that Canada should strategically impose tariffs on goods produced in states that strongly support Trump, as well as luxury products. "Liquor and high-end goods are fair targets because they have minimal impact on ordinary Canadians."隋绥说，加拿大应该采取战略性措施，对那些强烈支持特朗普的州生产的商品及奢侈品征收关税。“酒类和高端商品是合理目标，因为它们对普通加拿大人的影响微乎其微。”She argued that Canada can work with other nations negatively affected by US trade policies.她认为，加拿大可以与其他受美国贸易政策负面影响的国家合作。retaliationn.报复；反击

Dr. Laura welcomes Giselle Kovary, a generational expert and Head of Learning and Development at Optimus SBR, to talk about the different generations in today's workplaces. Giselle has 25 years of experience in learning and development, has worked with over 26 Fortune 500 companies, and is the co-author of two books: Loyalty Unplugged and Upgrade Now. Dr. Laura and Giselle explore the differences in the five generations at work and how to harness their unique strengths and skills into a cohesive workplace. Giselle defines the five generations by age group as Traditionalists, from 79 to 100; Baby Boomers, from 60 to 78; Gen X, from 44 to 59; Millennials, from 29 to 43; and Gen Z, from 12 to 28. She also stresses, however, that age alone does not define a generation; how a person identifies plays a key part as well. For example, a Millennial may identify as Traditionalist in mindset and this needs to be accounted for when assessing generational differences. Giselle and Dr. Laura discuss how generational identities assist understanding at a macro level but that within organizations it's vital to understand employees at a micro level, as individuals, as well. Giselle offers insights into where different generational identities collaborate well and where clashes often occur, based on her studies and experience. These insights serve to highlight where organizations must strengthen communication and understanding in order to best utilize the strengths each generation brings to work.“Not everyone in a generation is going to align with this. But after over 20 years, I have literally thousands of anecdotes of when people will come up and say, oh my goodness, you just described me, or you described my children, you described my partner. And it's because there is enough of a baseline to say this is what this generation believes and thinks, and we want to look at it from that perspective. The other piece… is it's less important the year you're born and more about your generational identity. How do you identify?” Giselle KovaryWatch this episode on Dr. Laura's YouTube channelAbout Giselle Kovary, M.A.:As Head of Learning & Development at Optimus SBR, Giselle is dedicated to building strategies and programs that help clients target, motivate and engage employees in order to increase performance and productivity.

Steve Preda here with the Management Blueprint Podcast, and my guest now is Andre Laplume, professor at the Ted Rogers School of Management at Toronto Metropolitan University and the author of Spinout Ventures: Transitioning from Employees to Entrepreneurs. Andre, welcome to the show. Thank you, Steve. Thanks for the invitation. I look forward to it. So, Andrei, let me ask you, what is your personal Why and what are you doing to manifest it? Yeah, I mean, my personal Why, so I'm a researcher, right? That's my main profession, and I research startups, and entrepreneurship is my main topic of focus. And I've been doing this for about a decade. And what I found out and what led to this book actually is that most prospective entrepreneurs are not really being coached very well that I feel they're being coached down. Perhaps a more mythical path about what entrepreneurship really is and many of them think that entrepreneurship is something they can do at 19 years old or 20 years old, and sometimes it is, but, realistically, a lot of the startups that we're seeing today, the more sophisticated startups, they aren't founded by 19 and 20 year olds. Most of them are actually founded by fairly seasoned employees who have years of experience at a larger company and who have decided to leave and start a company. And I think that the more that I did research on this phenomenon, which we're calling spinouts or spinout ventures, where employees leave to create their own ventures, the more I found out that they were very prominent and also more successful than other types of startups. So that's really what led me down this pathway, that, okay, we're living in a culture where the wrong narrative about entrepreneurship is being pushed, and so my purpose in this is to try to change that narrative and to make it more realistic. And also, I think that that sets better expectations for real entrepreneurs so that they don't believe the myth. Yeah, that is so interesting that you mentioned this myth, because I think it has its uses, but it also has its drawbacks. I think the uses of it is due to a popular idea of entrepreneurship. I think it's not a bad thing. I do think that entrepreneurs need a level of dreaminess or ability to dream in order to get started because the flip side of it is that experts very rarely start companies because they see so many pitfalls and so many potentials to go wrong that it paralyzes them. So in some ways, I think there is a use in mythologizing it. But on the other hand, I do agree. And I think there are statistics that the average founder is actually not 23 years old, but something like 45 or 48 years old or something like that. That's right. I think it's 45. 45. And I remember when I first heard about Ray Kroc and that he started M...

We can all agree that creating a startup is hard but there is an easier way to become an entrepreneur with a much higher probability of success. In this episode of the Payback Time Podcast, Sean's guest Andre Laplume breaks down 5 reasons why a spinout is better than a startup. Andre Laplume is a Professor at the Ted Rogers School of Management and author of the bestselling book 'Spinout Ventures'. Starting a new business is undeniably challenging, requiring immense effort, dedication, and often a bit of luck. However, spin-out ventures provide an alternative path to entrepreneurship with a higher probability of success. They involve transforming an idea already developed within an existing organization into a separate, standalone business.

In today's environment, innovation is recognized as a critical business practice, but do companies encourage innovation to the fullest? Do business leaders feel secure in allowing ideas to grow and potentially sprout into a completely new organization? In this episode, Dr. Andre LePlume shares insights from his extensive research on spinout ventures explaining how companies can benefit from encouraging employees to form internal corporate ventures and pursue innovative ideas. Based on his book, Spinout-Ventures-Transitioning-Employees-Entrepreneurs, he also expresses his view that the best new companies aren't founded in garages, but rather come from a place of keen knowledge and understanding of the needs in a market. Episode Highlights: - Defining Spinout Ventures: Spinouts are created using knowledge and resources transferred from a parent organization. They can ultimately benefit the company even if the spinout founder creates a new company as it may offer needed services. - Encouraging Innovation: Andre points out the need for businesses to create an innovative culture, allowing employees the freedom to explore and develop new ideas internally and externally. - Success in Spinouts - These founders typically have greater experience, are more knowledgeable, and have positive support systems compared to other founders. - Case Study - Zoom: Zoom emerged as a successful spinout from Cisco, highlighting the potential of spinouts to revolutionize industries. - Navigating Legal Challenges: He notes the evolving legal landscape around non-competes and intellectual property, and how businesses can manage these issues to encourage spinouts. - Recommended Reading: "The Innovator's Dilemma" by Clayton Christensen; "Crossing the Chasm" by Geoffrey Moore; and "Zero to One" by Peter Thiel.

Episode Notes What would it take to increase the power of figure skaters so they can influence the decisions that govern their sport? Where else in the Olympic movement is progress being made? What can we learn from sports where players' unions and collective bargaining are common? To answer some of these questions, I turned to Rob Koehler, the Director General of Global Athlete, an organization that helps athletes to organize and speak out on the issues they care about. Rob was previously the Deputy Director General of the World Anti-Doping Agency, the most senior of many positions he held at WADA between 2002 and 2018. He was also vice-chair of the WADA Independent Observer team at the Sochi Olympics. Rob is based in Montreal, Canada. I hope this episode gives you a taste of what is possible when athletes organize and use their voices to push for fairer sport! Transcript is available here. You can follow Rob on Twitter at @RobKoehler2 and Global Athlete @GlobalAthlete.

The transition from being a doer to a leader can be a difficult one for many people. Doers are outstanding individual contributors who, based on their performance in their current role, are promoted with the assumption that they will also be a good manager. In reality, some doers never become leaders. Instead, they become “super-doers” who micromanage the work of their team members with a running commentary on how they would perform particular tasks. Both the new manager and people on the team become frustrated. On today's episode, we hear from Vanessa Judelman, an author and consultant who helps people make this transition from doer to leader. Vanessa is the President of Mosaic People Development, a company that develops leaders who inspire great results.

Her goal, through the book, is to create confident, self-aware, and strategic leaders. Vanessa who works with a wide-array of world-class organizations, is often quoted in the media on issues related to leadership, and lectures in the Ted Rogers School of Management.

Ellen is a mindfulness researcher, speaker, teacher, coach, yogi, and meditator that is obsessed (in a mostly healthy way) with wellbeing, mental health, personal growth, and living with purpose. She is an organizational social psychologist who trained at the London School of Economics and completed her doctoral degree at the Ivey School of Business. In particular, she studies the efficacy of mindfulness training on performance under pressure, resilience, and errors. Ellen has taught and researched mindfulness with corporate executives, lawyers, MBA students, elementary school students, police recruits, and in health care settings. Ellen is an Assistant Professor at Toronto Metropolitan University in the Ted Rogers School of Management. She teaches organizational behaviour, which includes topics like decision making, team effectiveness, leadership, and motivation. On this episode Ellen walks me through a series of mindfulness exercises that you can follow along with and implement into your daily life.
