Are Tariffs Driving Up Food Prices in Ontario?

from The Rundown · host TVO

President Donald Trump's trade threats and tariffs have brought uncertainty to markets worldwide. Canada has responded with its own counter tariffs. Should Ontarians expect to pay more at the grocery store? And is there a risk that companies could exploit the chaos and bump up sticker prices regardless? We discuss with Stuart Trew, director of the Trade and Investment Research Project at the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives; Mike von Massow, food economist and professor at the University of Guelph; Karl Littler, senior vice-president of public affairs at the Retail Council of Canada; and Tu Nguyen, economist and director of environmental, social, and governance for RSM Canada.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
