Why is Canada letting one of its biggest exports take the hit?
@robbreakenridge joins Shane to dig into China’s tariffs on Canadian canola, the billions at stake for farmers, and why Ottawa seems unwilling to fight back. They contrast the thriving canola trade with Canada’s export-free (consumer car) EV industry, asking whether we’re protecting the wrong priorities.

Plus—a look at shifting travel trends at the border: fewer Canadians heading south, more Americans heading north. What’s driving the change, and is it the way it should be? It’s a candid, numbers-driven conversation on trade, policy, and the choices shaping our economy.
