In this episode, we dive into the escalating trade tensions between Canada and the United States following President Donald Trump's 25% tariff on most Canadian goods. With deeply integrated supply chains and a reliance on bilateral trade, both economies face significant challenges.

We explore how these tariffs are driving up production costs, raising consumer prices, and impacting key sectors like agriculture, manufacturing, and energy. Canada’s response—$155 billion in retaliatory tariffs—adds another layer of complexity, affecting everything from household goods to major exports.

Beyond economics, we examine the broader political landscape, including Trump's strategy, Canada's diplomatic push to reverse the tariffs, and the long-term implications for the Canada-US relationship. Will Canada sign a new trade deal with Trump in office? Can it reduce its dependence on the US market?

Join us as we break down the economic, political, and strategic dimensions of this high-stakes trade dispute.
