Since U.S. President Donald Trump took office in January, immigration lawyers have reported seeing a rise in non-U.S. citizens being denied entry. At the beginning of March, Jasmine Mooney, a Canadian who had previously been able to obtain a U.S. work visa, was detained for nearly two weeks when she tried to renew her visa. European tourists have been detained at the border, and Canadians born in Iran and Afghanistan have been increasingly turned away at the border.The Globe's Vanmala Subramaniam spoke to immigration lawyers about what Canadians living and working in the U.S. should do, given the situation at the border. Today, she's on the show to talk about why we're seeing this increase in Canadians being denied entry or detained at the U.S. border, and what people travelling to the U.S. can do to protect themselves.Questions?

And what does this strike say about the labour movement right now and unions' right to strike in Canada?Vanmala Subramaniam, The Globe's Future of Work reporter, is on the show to talk about the latest on the Canada Post strike, how it fits with other essential services taking work action and how governments intervene in work stoppages.Questions?

Is it even possible to succeed in politics without being nasty? Thomas Lukaszuk and Brian Mason locked horns at the Alberta Legislature for years.

Your boss wants you back in the office, but after two years of remote work, you're not sure you want to go. Whether you measure the cost in time or money, going back to work can be pricey. Many Canadians have grown to love their work from home lifestyle, and they're eager to keep it.

In April, the federal government announced that it would expand Canada's Temporary Foreign Worker Program to allow employers to hire even more low-wage workers from abroad. The move is designed to help ease some of the labour shortages in a number of sectors.Advocates for migrant workers argue that the TFW program allows employers to exploit migrant workers because the person's employment is tied to a work permit. There have been complaints about low wages, bad living conditions and dangerous work.The Globe's future of work reporter Vanmala Subramaniam tells us about what the program is and why it's expanding. Plus, we'll hear from former migrant worker-turned-advocate Gabriel Allahdua about what it was like to work this type of job and why he's advocating for migrant workers to have a pathway toward permanent residency.

How are Canadian white-collar workers feeling about this – and what can employers learn from time spent at home?

In the Before Times, millions of white collar workers would get up every weekday morning, get dressed, commute into the office and work at their desk for the day. Since the pandemic, working from home has become more common. That's resulted in a lot of unused office space across the country.As companies start to think about what work will look like as pandemic restrictions ease, one trend seems to be emerging: Hot-desking. This is the idea that there are no assigned seats in an office. Instead, an employee books their spot before coming in through an app.While the idea saves companies' money, the question of whether employees will be happy in this environment is up for debate. Vanmala Subramaniam is the Globe's Future of Work reporter. She tells us why this trend is gaining traction now, what workers told her about their experience with it and how hot-desking will transform post-pandemic office life.

Businesses around the world have had to quickly figure out how to let their employees work from home during the pandemic. Now, some companies have announced that their employees can work from home forever. But, a lot of companies aren’t saying goodbye to traditional office spaces just yet, and are starting to figure out how to bring employees back safely. But how do you redesign modern office spaces for the age of COVID-19? Today, we’re tackling this with Financial Post reporter Vanmala Subramaniam.

Now that provinces across Canada are talking about re-opening their economies, we’re checking in on how small businesses have been doing since the lockdowns began in March. From losing revenues and customers, many have been struggling to stay afloat. Today, we’re joined by Vanmala Subramaniam, a reporter at the Financial Post. She’s been tracking three companies across Canada, and has a lot of insight into where things might be headed.

When recreational cannabis was legalized in Canada in October 2018, the excitement was palpable. Though the market rollout wasn’t perfect, there was still a lot of hope. Investors were pumping money into new cannabis corporations and people were flocking to the industry. But in recent months, it seems like things have taken a turn: a number of cannabis CEOs have stepped down, and companies are getting sued by investors who say they feel duped. Then last week, hundreds of people got laid off at two of the biggest cannabis companies. Vanmala Subramaniam, the cannabis reporter at the Financial Post, explains how we got here and what the future holds for the once-booming industry. 

Why have Canadian cannabis stocks had a troublesome year?We're joined this week by Vanmala Subramaniam, who covers the cannabis sector as a Business Journalist for the Financial Post - the national business newspaper in Canada.Vanmala gives us the lowdown from across the pond as we explore the dynamic growth of the Canadian cannabis market, the plummeting value of stocks over 2019, and how business dynamics have changed since recreational legalisation.Episode Summary2015 - was the time when the first Canadian Cannabis companies were starting to emerge and list themselves on the Canadian stock exchange.In 2017 the cannabis space exploded in terms of the licenses dispensed by Health Canada, the square footage of cultivation across the country, and number of companies wanting to list on the stock exchange.In October 2018 cannabis became legal recreationally across the country.There are currently over 250 licenses to grow spread across hundreds of cannabis companies - it is currently a very significant industry in Canada and has grown exponentially across a very short period of time.Early businesses within the Canadian space found it very hard to raise money to invest into their businesses as banks did not support them - although medical cannabis was legal. Institutional investors and banks were reluctant to get involved. This meant that many of them went public.There is currently a disconnect between revenue and the values of companies. Some of the biggest companies are experiencing a decline in revenue due to legalisation and could not keep up with previous company estimates.Post legalisation, people started realising that some of the big producers of cannabis were not producing good quality cannabis. Many had their stock returned from wholesalers.The prices of legal cannabis being much higher than on the black market and growing issues are making it hard for people to find an incentive to buy from a legal producer.A number of Canadian cannabis companies found themselves overspending and overpaying for assets during the green rush, but found themselves in tricky waters later down the line due to loss of revenue from not meeting projection targets.One of the biggest issues the Canadian cannabis industry is facing at the moment is that Ontario (the largest province) do not have enough bricks and mortar stores open which sell cannabis. Customers prefer to visit stores in person, to speak to budtenders and to have a look around before they buy.Vanmala suggests that at least 1000 stores are needed in this province alone to sell the supply/inventory which is currently available.The October 2018 legalisation is often referred to as Cannabis 1.0 where diluted oils and dried flowers became legal. In October 2019, concentrates and beverages were legalised creating a market for a large array of products to be manufactured and sold (Cannabis 2.0).This has the potential to create new markets and new consumer behaviours.

Cannabis stocks in Canada have soared in the past few years. But earlier this month, CannTrust, one of Canada’s largest licensed producers, disclosed that Health Canada was investigating the company following revelations that it was growing unlicensed weed in one of its facilities. Since that story came out, its stock has plummeted.  Host Tamara Khandaker talks to Vanmala Subramaniam from the Financial Post to take you through the story of how one of the country’s top 10 licensed producers took the risk of hiding unlicensed cannabis plants, and what this story can teach us about investing in weed in Canada.

Next week, recreational weed will become legal across Canada. In anticipation, mainstream media has begun taking cannabis coverage seriously. Overnight, nearly every major outlet across the country has hired full-time reporters to cover it — but before we celebrate industry growth, how sustainable is this beat?
