Tariff Tensions, Policing Behind the Scenes & Valentine’s Day with a Twist
Welcome in to another edition of What Barrie’s Talking About from Barrie 360. This week’s episode spans everything from international trade tensions and local policing priorities to Valentine’s Day ideas that go beyond chocolates.
Trump Tariff Threats and What They Mean for Canada
Trade tensions are flaring up again after Donald Trump threatened 100 per cent tariffs on Canada if Ottawa were to pursue a free-trade deal with China. With Canada-U.S.-Mexico trade talks also looming, the stakes are high but how serious is the threat?
Barrie 360’s Ian MacLennan speaks with tariff expert Kyle Peacock, head of Peacock Tariff Consulting in Orillia, to break down what’s political posturing, what’s realistic, and what these warnings could mean for Canada’s economy and local businesses.
Inside South Simcoe Police: Budget, Modernization, and the Year Ahead
Barrie 360 goes behind the scenes with South Simcoe Police Service, sitting down with the Chief and Deputy Chief to talk about what’s shaping the service this year.
The conversation covers budget pressures, modernization efforts, staffing, and how policing is evolving to meet the needs of fast-growing communities. It’s a rare look at how decisions are made behind the badge and what residents can expect moving forward.
A Valentine’s Gift with “Shock and Awe”
Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and if dinner reservations feel a little predictable, this segment offers a different idea.
Ian MacLennan catches up with the Barrie County Chordsmen, a local barbershop quartet led by Brian Tracey, to talk about serenades, surprise performances, and why live harmony can still deliver genuine “shock and awe.” It’s lighthearted, fun, and a reminder that memorable gifts don’t always come in boxes.
