The Real Cost of Tariffs and What Comes Next for Canada

Published 2025-02-06, 07:30 a/m

In this episode, we break down what happened over the last week with the threat of Tariffs on Canada and Mexico. From the initial 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico to the last-minute deals that temporarily paused them.

We explain how tariffs actually work, who really pays for them, and why Canada is particularly vulnerable in this trade battle. We also explore the broader implications, from potential job losses and a weakening CAD to how this could impact future trade deals, including USMCA.

Plus, we dive into Canada’s need for stronger entrepreneurship and touch on major market moves like NVIDIA's (NASDAQ:NVDA) $600B one-day crash and China’s growing AI dominance.
