Is Donald Trump’s 25% tariffs ’for real’? - The cost of living, wages, and grocery prices - Culinaire Magazine is out

WELCOME TO THE MWSA PODCAST FOR THURSDAY, NOV 28th   Business leaders and politicians still trying to figure out if Donald Trump’s talk of 25% tariffs on all goods heading to the states is ‘for real’ or just the start of trade negotiations? We get an ‘insiders’ perspective on what sort of an impact such a ‘large’ tariff would have on our energy industry from Dennis McConaghy, a former executive with Calgary-based TC Energy. Next - Inflation is heading in the right direction, interest rates are slowly going down and yet most Canadians aren’t feeling they have more cash in their pockets right now – due to the high price of putting food on the table. We caught up with Stuart Smyth Associate Professor of “Agri-Food Innovation” from the University of Saskatchewan, to discuss the issue – and get some insight into just ‘when’ we may see lower prices at the grocery store. And finally – Foodies Unite! The latest issue of “Culinaire Magazine” is now out. We took the opportunity to catch up with Linda Garson, Editor-in-Chief of “Culinaire Magazine” – to share with us the latest ‘tasty trends’ in the city – including the comeback of the almighty ‘Sandwich’.
