No. 24: Could Trump’s tariffs trigger a trade war?

from BIV Today Hosted by Business In Vancouver

On BIV Today... Almost immediately after the U.S. slapped steel and aluminum tariffs on Canada and its allies, Ottawa fired back with retaliatory measures of its own. Are we entering a global trade war? Prof. John Ries (1:18) from the Sauder School of Business at UBC talks about the kind of fallout we should expect from these tariffs. Later, Tantalus Labs founder Dan Sutton (13:44) discusses why home-growers may be out of luck in the wake of Senate amendments to cannabis legislation. Then, Surrey Board of Trade CEO Anita Huberman (29:00) explains the challenges ahead for employers as they deal with a potential uptick in cannabis use in the workplace.

Speaking to Politics Mike Politics shape our world. The issues being decided in the halls of government every day have real and lasting impact on all our lives, but discussing politics is extremely unpleasant. It is very difficult today to have a calm, adult conversation about politics. Are the people screaming on TV, the radio, and online really who “we” are? Are they really representative of mainstream America or are they just really aggressive and loud? I believe the adults just got tired of it and walked away, but their silence is not consent. This podcast is the test of that theory. If you see fit to tune in, I will present news of the day, analysis and commentary while doing my best to check my feelings at the door and let you, the listeners, decide what it means to you. No ominous music, no angry rants, just a relaxed conversation and positive vibe. Politics, for reasonable people.
