Episode Details

CUSMA’s future hangs in the balance — and Manitoba’s voice must be heard. While the deal could auto-renew for 16 years, its quiet review window offers a rare chance to push for agricultural access, rail capacity, and Indigenous economic sovereignty. Winnipeg’s pivotal role as a trade hub and northern gateway means provincial priorities can’t be sidelined. With tariffs looming on steel, aluminum, cars, and lumber — industries vital to the Prairies — now is the time to ensure Manitoba and First Nations aren’t just consulted, but central to shaping Canada’s next trade chapter. The Bank of Canada expects minor tweaks, but “fine for Canada” doesn’t mean “great for Manitoba.” Time is ticking — and it’s up to us to make our case loud and clear.
