Ep 1: Is the U.S. Subsidizing Canada—or Just Trump Talk?
This week, we're diving into Trump's claim that the U.S. is somehow subsidizing Canada. With new tariffs escalating tensions between these two longtime allies, we break down the real story behind trade deficits, why Canada isn't getting a "free ride," and how interconnected our economies truly are. From lumber and oil to Netflix and maple syrup, trade between the U.S. and Canada is way more complex than just looking at imports and exports. We also explore the ripple effects of protectionist policies, the role of NAFTA, and why "Made in America" isn’t as simple as it sounds. Tune in for a fun, engaging, and eye-opening conversation that challenges the myths and gets to the facts!
