Episode Description

Amid the constant churn of U.S. tariff headlines, fundamental questions about Canada's trade often go unanswered. Questions such as:

• Which provinces are most at risk from trade disruptions?

• Should we worry less about tariffs on certain goods like fungible raw materials than others?

In this episode on the 10-Minute Take, RBC Economics’ Claire Fan and Carrie Freestone dig into these questions and more.
