Trevor Tombe is one of Canada's most sought after economists and the go-to expert on interprovincial trade barriers. He talks to host Amanda Lang about how we get there and the winners and losers of cross-Canada trade.

Alberta is back in the red, with the government forecasting a $5.2-billion deficit for Budget 2025 — its first in years. Finance Minister Nate Horner warns the financial picture could worsen, especially if Donald Trump's proposed tariffs take effect. Despite the bleak outlook, the UCP government is introducing a personal income tax cut. Critics argue the budget lacks focus — or a real plan for the worst-case scenario. Host Jim Brown breaks down the numbers with political scientist Lisa Young, former NDP cabinet minister Deron Bilous, and conservative strategist Amber Ruddy. Later, economist Trevor Tombe weighs in on the province's decision to run a deficit rather than balance the budget or reconsider its plans for the Alberta Heritage Savings Trust Fund.

It's less than a week to go before U.S. President Donald Trump has promised to put a 25% tariff on all Canadian goods. After that happens, the Government of Canada will respond with tariffs of our own, and everything on which those tariffs apply will get more expensive.The fears are very real. There are concerns Canada will enter a recession, that the Canadian dollar will take a hit, and that hundreds of thousands of jobs could be on the line. Host David Smith speaks with University of Calgary economist Trevor Tombe about what it could mean for you and for the economy.

Donald Trump is officially the President of the United States again, and his 'america first' approach to politics and threat of tariffs on Canadian goods mean that Canada has entered an era of trade uncertainty with it's largest economic partner. The impacts of tariffs on Canada-U.S. trade would be profound on both sides of the border, but how would they affect Albertans in their daily lives? What would become more expensive? Where would we see job losses? What industries would be hit the hardest? To help give our listeners a clearer picture of the possible outcomes, Scott Crockatt invited BCA Director of Policy Alicia Planincic and Trevor Tombe, Director of Fiscal and Economic Policy at The University of Calgarys's School of Public Policy, onto The Brief to break down what could happen and what it could mean for Alberta businesses and households. In this episode: Trump's approach to trade and diplomacy What is a tariff and how does it work? What is a 'trade deficit,' and is the U.S. really 'subsidizing' Canada? The 'nuclear option' - oil and energy export ban Industries at risk and where we may see job losses --------------------- About The Business Council of Alberta The Business Council of Alberta was founded on a simple idea: to make life better for all Albertans. We believe that business has an important role in improving society, and that when business does well, we all do well. We work with the chief executives and leading entrepreneurs of Alberta's largest enterprises to understand the big, long-term challenges that Albertans are facing and work with industry, government, and civil society to solve these problems and build shared prosperity for every person who calls Alberta home.

Donald Trump is headed back to the White House on Monday, meaning his tariff threats could become a reality and wreak havoc on the Canadian economy. So what's Canada's opening move if Trump charges forward? Host Catherine Cullen checks in with premiers at their important meeting in Ottawa this week to strategize a response, but not everyone is on the same page. Canada's ambassador to the U.S. joins the show to discuss the federal government's plan, and an economics professor explains which provinces are the most at risk.Next, an author and staff writer for The Atlantic explains why, of all the policies Trump has flirted with over the years, the incoming president is so wedded to the idea of tariffs and how Canada should prepare itself for a possible trade war.Finally, as more candidates step up or step back from the Liberal leadership race, two Parliament Hill watchers break down the contest so far and the questions the candidates will need to address.This episode features the voices of:Ranj Pillai, Premier of YukonScott Moe, Premier of SaskatchewanWab Kinew, Premier of ManitobaKirsten Hillman, Canada's ambassador to the United States.Trevor Tombe, economics professor at the University of CalgaryDavid Frum, staff writer with The AtlanticTonda MacCharles, Ottawa bureau chief for the Toronto StarChristopher Nardi, parliamentary reporter for the National Post
