Ontario premier Doug Ford made a splash this week when he
suggested his province could withhold energy exports to the
United States if president-elect Donald Trump slaps steep tariffs
on Canadian goods. Is Ontario gearing up for a trade war with the
U.S? Ontario’s energy minister explains how far the province is
willing to go on the issue.

Then, the CEO of Abacus Data joins the program to discuss his new
poll that shows Trump is more popular in Canada than Prime
Minister Justin Trudeau, and what it means for Trudeau’s tariff
negotiations with the Trump administration.

Plus, with days to go until Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland
presents her fall economic update, two economists debate the
deficit, which fiscal anchors matter the most and what Canada
should do about Trump’s concerns on trade.

Finally, the Liberals have tightened rules around the temporary
foreign worker program, but why is it so susceptible to abuse?
The House does a deep dive into the program to understand the
problems and benefits for businesses and workers.

This episode features the voices of:

Stephen Lecce, Ontario Minister of Energy

David Coletto, CEO of Abacus Data

Armine Yalnizyan, economist and Atkinson Fellow on the Future
of Workers

Goldy Hyder, president of the Business Council of Canada

Catherine Connelly, professor of human resources and
