Victory Hemp turns hemp seeds into clean protein, healthy oils, and even xylitol with a solvent-free, patented process built for every aisle. At 00:00 we define what “hemp food” really is; by 01:20 we outline Victory Hemp's B2B product stack; at 03:00 we unpack the solvent-free patent and why taste/clean label matter. Around 05:00 we hit functionality (emulsifying, gelling, egg replacement). At 06:30 we cover North American supply and USMCA sourcing, then 08:00 the next facility plan (~$21M, equity + USDA B&I/NMTC). By 10:00 we map capacity (> $30M revenue) and path to self-fund growth. At 11:30 we dive into zero-waste (hulls → xylitol), and by 13:00 we close on macro tailwinds: the protein boom, GLP-1 nutrition needs, and renewable fuels potential.

In Episode 227, Tu and Lei break down a massive week in the global EV industry — one where China's innovation pace keeps accelerating while Western automakers scramble to respond. Xiaomi's YU7 officially outsells the Tesla Model Y in October, marking a symbolic shift in China's most competitive EV segment. Meanwhile, Tesla's domestic sales slump to 26,000, signaling that aggressive price cuts and financing perks may not be enough as Chinese challengers tighten the pressure.The hosts also unpack XPeng's viral AI Day, featuring the “Iron Lady” humanoid robot, new L4 capable RoboTaxi prototypes, the Turing chip's rising importance, and XPeng's “physical AI” strategy — positioning the company as a vertically integrated mobility+AI platform rather than just an automaker.On the U.S. side, GM sparks headlines after reportedly urging suppliers to “de-China” their supply chains by 2027 — a massive, risky reshoring effort that could reshape cost structures across North America. Tu and Lei discuss the feasibility and geopolitical backdrop, including the Nexperia crisis, ICE tariff pressures, and USMCA uncertainty._____________________They also hit:

The Canadians are angry, and the professional political class in Canada is doing everything they can to continue ramping up opposition to Donald Trump. With increased tariffs against Canada, and with the likely dissolution of the USMCA (CUSMA) coming in the near future, the Canadian govt of Mark Carney has been traveling the world to find alternative markets for their goods and services. The main targets for new Canadian economic and trade relations are the U.K, EU and China. In a deal to expand the trade relationship with China, the Canadian government of Mark Carney is now proposing to drop tariffs against Chinese EVs in a deal to sell more pork and canola oil. That's correct, in essence Canada will take the EV auto business abandoned by Mexico. This was Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's grand plan as he attended the ASEAN summit in Malaysia. Keep in mind, as we have outlined all along during Trump's trade reset, the USMCA is going to be abandoned in favor of two bilateral free trade agreements; one with Mexico and one with Canada. As outlined in the Mexican decision to cancel EV investment, Mexico is aligning for a favorable trade relationship with President Trump and the USA. Canada may benefit in the short term from sales of pork and canola to Beijing, while simultaneously gaining Chinese investment in cobalt mining and auto development for EVs. But those EVs will never be permitted to cross the border into the USA and any effort to enhance Chinese EV sales in Canada will only disconnect them more from trade with Donald Trump and the USA.

Host: Warrington Ellacott Guest: David Paterson, Ontario's Representative in Washington, D.C. Published: October 2025 Length: ~20minutes Presented by: Global Training Center This week on Simply Trade, Warrington Ellacott from the Canadian Association of Importers and Exporters returns for another Canadian Pod edition. His guest is David Paterson, Ontario's representative in Washington, D.C., who offers a front-row view of U.S.-Canada trade policy amid new tariffs, shifting supply chains, and political change. Together, they break down the current state of Canada–U.S. trade under the Trump administration, the critical role Ontario plays as America's top customer, and how supply chains can adapt to the evolving tariff and compliance landscape. From auto manufacturing and critical minerals to AI innovation, Ontario is positioning itself not only as a trade powerhouse but also as a strategic bridge between North American and global markets. What You'll Learn in This Episode The economic relationship between Ontario and the United States Ontario's role as the largest trading partner for 17 U.S. states How the new IEEPA and sectoral tariffs are changing trade cost structures Ways Ontario works with the U.S. Commerce Department to secure exemptions Understanding the integration and fragility of cross-border supply chains How recent U.S. tariffs on derivatives and auto parts impact logistics and compliance Why Ontario attracts more than $40 billion annually in new investment The province's approach to diversifying trade, energy, and critical minerals Ontario's emerging edge in artificial intelligence, nuclear power, and R&D Programs supporting investors through Invest Ontario and trade financing arms Key Discussion Highlights Integrated Supply Chains: Both countries depend on real-time cross-border flows, particularly for manufacturing and automotive sectors. Tariff Challenges: New 232 and derivative tariffs complicate valuation and classification for exporters and brokers. Policy Outlook: Renegotiation of the USMCA and upcoming court decisions could reshape tariff enforcement. Ontario's Edge: A strong industrial base, advanced education sector, and access to critical minerals position Ontario for global leadership. Economic Strategy: Ontario's pro-business approach—lower taxes, less red tape, and strategic investment funding—supports resilience amid global uncertainty. Tips for Businesses and Traders Stay informed on sectoral tariff exemptions under USMCA Collaborate with provincial trade ministries and associations for updated compliance support. Explore export opportunities in renewable energy, EV supply chains, and advanced manufacturing. Use Ontario's support programs to mitigate liquidity and trade disruption risks. Key Takeaways Ontario accounts for roughly 40% of Canada's population and GDP, serving as the country's economic and industrial core. It remains the largest export destination for the U.S. — twice the trade volume of China and four times that of Japan or Germany. Despite tariff headwinds, sustained cooperation and policy alignment are vital for maintaining competitiveness. Ontario's trade agencies are positioning for growth in AI, quantum technology, and life sciences. Strong cross-border collaboration ensures mutual prosperity — even amid political and commercial recalibration.

In the sixth episode of our trade series, Pitchfork Economics producer Freddy Doss talks with Mexican economist Juan Carlos Moreno-Brid about how NAFTA — and now the USMCA — reshaped Mexico's economy in ways that those of us north of the Rio Grande almost never hear about. Yes, exports skyrocketed. But wages stagnated, domestic industry hollowed out, and Mexico became structurally dependent on the United States — even as political rhetoric in the U.S. grew more hostile toward Mexican workers. Moreno-Brid explains why the promised “shared prosperity” never arrived, why Mexico got stuck in an export-without-development trap, and what a truly fair and resilient U.S.–Mexico trade relationship would actually require. It's a perspective rarely heard in Washington, and an essential one for understanding the real stakes of North American trade. Juan Carlos Moreno-Brid is a professor of economics at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) and one of Latin America's leading experts on trade, industrial policy, and economic development. A former Deputy Director of the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) office in Mexico, he has spent decades analyzing the impacts of NAFTA and Mexico's transition to an export-led model. His research focuses on inequality, industrialization, and the structural challenges facing emerging economies.

Donald Trump met with Prime Minister Mark Carney in Washington — and called the Canada-U.S. trade relationship a “natural conflict.” From cars and steel to the future of the USMCA, we break down what was said, what wasn't, and what it means for Canada going forward. CBC's Washington correspondent Katie Simpson joins us to explain.
John Oakley tackles two storylines shaping Canada right now. First, Jocelyn Bamford—VP at Automatic Coating and founder of the Coalition of Concerned Manufacturers and Businesses of Canada—breaks down how U.S. tariffs and Ottawa/Queen's Park responses could hit Canadian manufacturing, from autos to steel, and what policy levers (energy costs, red tape, pipelines) might actually keep high-skill jobs here. Then Tristin Hopper, National Post columnist and author of “Don't Be Canada,” explains the latest polling: Mark Carney's fading honeymoon, a Conservative upswing, seniors consolidating as the Liberal base, a disappearing gender gap, and the NDP's ongoing slump. What we cover: How prospective U.S. tariffs could ripple through Windsor, Oshawa, Guelph, Brampton & beyond Auto sector realities under USMCA vs. headline panic—and whether political theatre helps or hurts Ontario's “hardball” signals (LCBO booze, critical minerals, energy) and investor confidence The cost stack for manufacturers: electricity, compliance, and “death by a thousand cuts” Poll shifts since the election: approval slides, vote-intent realignments, and where swing voters went Guests: Jocelyn Bamford (VP, Automatic Coating; Founder, Coalition of Concerned Manufacturers and Businesses of Canada); Tristin Hopper (Columnist, National Post; Author, “Don't Be Canada”).

Several critical developments are pointing toward a rising cost of uncertainty across the logistics landscape. Analysts are trimming expectations for the back half of the year, with Morgan Stanley significantly cutting earnings per share estimates for most truckload and less-than-truckload carriers due to high shipper uncertainty and continuing industrial contraction.. A major regulatory shift occurred when the U.S. Court of Appeals overturned a key Federal Maritime Commission rule regarding detention and demurrage fees, a ruling analyzed in Demurrage dilemma: court overturns FMC's trucking rule. Specifically, the court found the FMC rule that categorically blocked demurrage charges against motor carriers to be "arbitrary and capricious," potentially opening the door for drayage carriers, who often lack leverage, to be billed for these terminal fees once again. Equipment costs are set to rise after President Trump announced a new 25% tariff on imported medium- and heavy-duty trucks starting November 1st, as reported in Trump to impose 25% tariff on trucks starting Nov. 1. Since the U.S. imports the majority of these trucks from Mexico, the tariff could significantly raise the total cost of ownership for U.S. fleets, potentially slowing down equipment replacement cycles, even if vehicles nominally fall under the USMCA agreement. North of the border, Canada Post is facing a severe labor crisis linked to its deep financial struggles, having incurred losses of $2.7 billion since 2018, leading to a crucial update in Canada Post reduces contract offer to striking workers, warns of job cuts. The postal operator rescinded a $500 to $1,000 signing bonus and is proposing to eliminate lifetime job security for urban employees while aiming to downsize the workforce through attrition, buyouts, and early retirement to facilitate needed modernization.

HEADLINE: Latin American Political Volatility and US Engagement GUEST NAME: Evan Ellis SUMMARY: John Batchelor speaks with Evan Ellis about political instability across Latin America. In Argentina, peso volatility reflects investor doubts about President Milei's survival following election losses and corruption scandals. Despite strong economic fundamentals (poverty reduced to 32%, 3% growth), the US Treasury provided unprecedented support with a $20 billion swap agreement. In Venezuela, Maduro's illegitimate regime lost overwhelmingly to Edmundo Gonzalez in July 2024. The US deployed eight ships and considers limited strikes against the "Cartel de los Soles" leadership. Brazil's Lula might offer Maduro asylum to resolve the crisis while opposing US pressure. Colombia faces chaos under President Petro, whose failed "total peace" policies increased violence. After Petro urged US soldiers to disobey orders, America pulled his diplomatic visa, damaging security cooperation. Mexico's President Sheinbaum enjoys 78% popularity and achieved a 20% homicide reduction. The critical priority remains USMCA renegotiation, preventing Chinese companies from using Mexico as a US market pass-through. 1930 BOLIVAR IN CARACAS

Host: Annik Sobing Guest: Manuel Muñiz – Global Trade Expert Published: September 29, 2025 Length: ~37 minutes Presented by: Global Training Center Mexico Aligns With the U.S. on Customs Reform In this Roundup episode, host Annik Sobing welcomes Manuel Muñiz, an expert in global trade, to unpack President Claudia Sheinbaum's ambitious 2026 proposals for Mexican customs reform. These reforms, introduced as part of the 2026 economic package, aim to reshape tariff codes, increase compliance obligations, and strengthen Mexico's alignment with the United States. Together, Annik and Manuel discuss what these sweeping changes mean for importers, customs brokers, and international businesses navigating U.S.-Mexico trade. From increased penalties to tariff hikes on over 1,300 products, this conversation offers a timely look at what companies should expect as Mexico seeks to tighten compliance and revenue collection. What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why Mexico is reforming its customs and tariff laws in 2026. How customs brokers' responsibilities and liabilities will expand. What businesses importing from China should prepare for under the new tariff regime. The potential impact of higher penalties for misclassification and noncompliance. How these reforms tie into the upcoming 2026 USMCA renegotiation. Key Takeaways: Mexico is aligning customs and tariff policies more closely with the U.S. ahead of USMCA renegotiations. Customs brokers will face greater accountability for ensuring accurate declarations. Importers could see penalties of up to 300% of the goods' value for violations. Roughly 1,371 tariff codes will be affected, with duties rising between 10% and 50%. Businesses need to prepare now with compliance programs, technology, and proactive supply chain strategies.

Uber Freight is betting big on cross-border trade, deepening its imprint in Mexico by integrating customs, brokerage, and transportation services to help shippers navigate the complex trade environment, especially as U.S.-Mexico trade has surged 21% this year. The company uses a digitized method to provide visibility at the border, which historically has been referred to as the "black hole" in logistics, and helps customers avoid extra duties or delays due to shifting regulations like USMCA rules of origin. President Trump has voiced his approval for the proposed $85 billion merger between Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern, calling Union Pacific a "great railroad". If approved by the Surface Transportation Board (STB), this deal would create the nation's largest railroad, boasting 52,000 miles of track across 43 states. Volvo Trucks North America has also launched Load Finder, a new, free load board designed to help carriers reduce empty miles and deadhead operations. Developed in partnership with Canadian-based freight tech company Class8, the platform aggregates available loads from over 40 sources and integrates into the existing Volvo Connect system for customers.

This week's deep dive unpacks the relentless surge of nearshoring at the U.S.-Mexico border, where year-to-date trade has surpassed the $507 billion mark, cementing Mexico's place as the number one U.S. trade partner. We examine how logistics firms like Uber Freight are heavily integrating customs, brokerage, and transportation services to digitalize the “black hole” at the border and navigate the growing complexity of USMCA rules and new tariffs. We shift from land to air to analyze how the U.S. policy ending the de minimis exemption for small parcels from China is hammering global carriers. This single change trimmed FedEx's Q1 operating income by $150 million and created a projected $1 billion fiscal year headwind, forcing the company to cut its Trans-Pacific capacity by 25% and redeploy assets to the profitable Asia-to-Europe lane. Finally, we explore the domestic physical limits currently squeezing the supply chain, including the severe crisis on the Mississippi River where drought-driven low water levels are forcing capacity cuts and causing barge rates to jump nearly 50% . We also discuss the immediate pressure on the new Federal Highway Administration administrator, Sean McMaster, to prioritize the persistent lack of critically needed truck parking capacity across the country.

Economy Germany's Sharp Economic Downturn Sparks Urgent Calls for Regulatory Reform Germany's economy is facing significant challenges, with bankruptcy filings reaching a 10-year high in July. District courts recorded 4,007 bankruptcies, marking a 19.2 percent increase from the previous year, according to the Federal Statistical Office. Unemployment has also risen sharply, approaching levels not seen in a decade. The number of unemployed stands at 2.98 million, up 170,000 from last year, with 125,000 layoffs announced since July 1, as reported by the Initiative Neue Soziale Marktwirtschaft. Source: thegatewaypundit.com European Postal Services Suspend Shipment of Packages to US over Tariffs Multiple postal services around Europe announced Saturday that they are suspending the shipment of many packages to the United States amid a lack of clarity over new import duties. Postal services in Germany, Denmark, Sweden and Italy said they will stop shipping most merchandise to the U.S. effective immediately. France and Austria will follow Monday, and the United Kingdom Tuesday. Under a decree signed by President Donald Trump last month, international goods that were previously exempt from U.S. tariffs – those valued under $800 – will be subject to import duties from Aug. 29. Letters, books, gifts and small parcels worth less than $100 will continue to be exempt. A trade framework agreed by the U.S. and the European Union last month set a 15% tariff on the vast majority of products shipped from the EU. Many European postal services say they are pausing deliveries now because they cannot guarantee the goods will enter the U.S. before Aug. 29. They cite ambiguity about what kind of goods are covered by the new rules, and the lack of time to process their implications.

No digital services taxes. No countervailing duty tariffs. No reciprocity tariffs on Steel and Aluminum. No retaliatory tariffs (reciprocal/baseline). Meanwhile, the USA keeps 50% tariffs on steel and aluminum against Canada, and Canada only gets 25% tariffs against U.S. steel/aluminum. Canada has pledged to continue gaslighting their citizens, while wasting time, effort and resources on a hope to retain the USMCA, while refusing to admit to themselves that President Trump intends to dissolve it.
