Episode Details

Ottawa’s launching new counter-tariffs on U.S. goods this September, hitting steel, furniture, and industrial ingredients with 15-50% duties — but they’re also extending the fuel tax break to keep grocery prices from spiraling, especially since so much food moves by truck. Last year’s similar tariffs spiked food inflation from 2.8% to nearly 4%, hurting families already struggling with rising costs and soaring food insecurity. This time, the move is more targeted, sparing everyday groceries and pairing tariffs with fuel relief to soften the blow — a smarter, more cautious approach after last year’s costly mistakes.
