  • What’s next for Canada and the U.S. on the trade front under Trump?
    Nov 8 2024

    After catching us up on the news of the week in The Briefs, Amanda Lang speaks with Beth Burke, CEO of the Canadian American Business Council for a look of the state of the economic relationship between Canada and the U.S. headed into a second Trump presidency.

    After a by the numbers look at just how interdependent the economies of Canada and the U.S. are, Amanda Lang checks in with Ian Bremmer, founder of The Eurasia Group, about what Trump’s win suggests about the path for America in the next few years, and what should be top of mind for Canada.

    There are challenges ahead for Canadian business, but Goldy Hyder, the CEO of the Business Council of Canada says there are plenty of opportunities too, if we can stop putting the puck in our own net. And in her Takeaway, Amanda Lang says anxiety over an uncertain future is natural, but a new era south of the border is a good time to reflect on all the things Canada has going for it.

    Oct 18 2024

Amanda Lang checks in with Chris Ragan, the founding director of the Max Bell School of Public Policy at McGill University for his thoughts.

    Rick Smith, president of the Canadian Climate Institute and Ken Green, Senior Fellow at the Fraser Institute, lay out the arguments in favour and against Canada’s carbon tax system.

    Nik Nanos, chief data scientist of Nanos Research, tells Amanda Lang what Canadians tell pollsters they think about the political issue that is the carbon tax. And in her Takeaway, Amanda Lang says the ongoing debate should not distract us from the need to tackle a complicated issue head on.
