Ottawa At Work with Patricia Boal - March 28, 2025

Earlier in today's show, we received details on U.S. President Trump's pending tariffs. And as of right now, we don't know exactly if Canada is getting a break. We'll try to get some details in Hour 4. We also have unconfirmed reports that an uninhabited island might be getting some of the Trump taxes. Because that definitely makes sense...

America’s trade war with Canada is about to heat up in a matter of moments, as U.S. President Donald Trump is expected to unveil his next round of tariffs on ‘Liberation Day’. This also includes a series of reciprocal tariffs. We take you live to the White House once he steps up to the podium. Afterwards, we gather instant reaction from CFRA’s Andrew Pinsent.

Hour 3 of Ottawa Now for Wed. April 2nd, 2025

If you are working in an industry that is being threatened by U.S. tariffs, it might become a lot more difficult to borrow money from the nearby bank. According to an internal BMO memo that was shared with its brokers, they plan to tighten their lending criteria for self-employed borrowers who are working in Aluminum and Steel sectors. This directive also applies to other ‘high-risk’ industries, ranging from manufacturing and farming to other natural resources. The bank claims this move is being done to protect the ‘long-term financial health’ of its customers. Kristy Cameron digs deeper with Chris Roberts in Hour 2. He is the Director of Social, Economic, and Policy Department at the Canadian Labour Congress. Meantime, the ‘Elbows Up’ movement has been skyrocketing in popularity across the country, as the effects of countermeasures drift around the periphery. But if the feds proceed with an all-out counter-tariff gameplan, experts say we could see differences in costs all over the place. This, in turn, could test our country’s inner loyalty to a Canada-first initiative going forward. CFRA’s Chris Holski has more on that.
