Perhaps you - like a certain American president - were surprised to learn how much electricity Canada exports to the US. Here are the latest figures from the Canada Energy Regulator. #electricity #tariffs #tradewar #cdnpoli #Canada #Trump #Ontario
Trump’s “announcement” this morning that he intends to double tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum to 50%, shut down Canada’s auto industry and declare a state of emergency in northern states facing higher Canadian electricity prices, is chilling. To grasp the psychology, the politics and the economics, listen to my convo with Bloomberg’s White House correspondent Josh Wingrove.

Trying to find groceries made or grown in Canada can be an adventure. And trying to find non-American “warm weather” produce can be an even bigger challenge. If you can buy at a farmers market or direct from a farmer, you obviously know the provenance of your food. But I’ve also had fun - and success - visiting stores like T&T and HMart, as well as Edmonton independents like Spinelli’s Italian Centre, Lucky 97 and 99 Supermarket. #tariffs #yeg #Edmonton #yegfood #elbowsupcanada
