If U.S President Donald Trump goes ahead with his plan to impose 25 per cent tariffs on all Canadian exports, Canada will retaliate with its own tariffs. Trouble is, the U.S. isn't nearly as dependent on exports as we are. 

The former governor of the Bank of Canada Stephen Poloz has helped guide Canada through some uncertain times. But right now, he says his worry meter is "pretty far up there."

We’ve known for a long time that being too dependent on the U.S. makes us vulnerable. They are our largest trading partner, but they aren't the only country in the world. Is it finally time for Canada to make more friends?

Both countries have just been given a 30-day reprieve from Trump's tariffs. So, can we work together to fend off the looming trade war with the U.S.? Paul Haavardsrud speaks with the former vice minister of trade for Mexico, Juan Carlos Baker, about what happens now. 

In a historic act of economic aggression, President Trump has made good on his promise and imposed across-the-board tariffs. And Canada has hit back.

Some of us might forget a $20 in a pocket, but what about thousands of dollars? Believe it or not, it happens! Canadians contribute to a pension then, maybe switch jobs and just forget about it. We'll explain why it's so hard to track people down and what they're missing out on. 

A U.S. economics podcast called us wanting to know how Trump's tariff threats are playing out in Canada. Paul Haavardsrud chats with NPR's The Indicator about how we're feeling, what's at stake, and how Canada could respond if tariffs happen. 

The question of "will he or won't he" hit us with tariffs is already getting old. But, if they do come, does Canada actually have a Trump card? Four million barrels a day of oil says — we just might.

After the surging population put pressure on housing and healthcare, the feds are drastically reducing immigration targets. But millions of new people have also been pouring money into the economy and, by some accounts, keeping us out of a recession. Does a plan for negative population growth risk steering us into the economic ditch? 

A couple of business insiders debate the seriousness of Trump's tariff threats and how political uncertainty in Ottawa could hurt Canada's economy. Oh, and they even give us some reasons to hope.
