Episode Party for Two | Retaliation Debate | Ford Reacts to Tariffs

0:00 37:35

It's Party for Two! Jerry is joined by Karen Stintz, Vice-President of Finance and Operations for the Canadian Council for Rehabilitation and Work, former Toronto city councillor, and former TTC chair, to discuss the biggest developments in the Canada-U.S. trade dispute and the day's top stories.

As calls grow for Canada to respond aggressively to new American tariffs, Jerry argues that responding to unreasonable actions with more unreasonable actions is not a winning strategy. He examines whether retaliation is the right approach and what alternatives policymakers should consider.

To explore those options further, Jerry speaks with Ian Lee, Associate Professor at Carleton University's Sprott School of Business, about what tools Canada has available beyond tariffs and what a successful response to U.S. trade pressure might look like.

Plus, Jerry revisits Bill Carroll's interview with Premier Doug Ford from earlier this morning, reacting to the latest tariffs announced by Donald Trump and discussing what they could mean for Ontario workers, businesses, and the broader Canadian economy.
