Episode Details

Why does it seem like the United States economy is holding up “remarkably well”, despite Trump’s tariffs? Is it a false sense of security? Why are US businesses refraining from passing their (billion dollar!) losses onto consumers… yet? As for Canada’s economy, our national employment is up, consumer spending is up and loyalty to Canadian businesses seems stronger than ever. But will it last? Or is this just the calm before the storm? Let’s talk about these complex US-Canada trade dynamics in Episode 185 of The Bill Kelly Podcast!
