Positively Politics, Featuring the Honourable Scott Brison - Views from the North

In this episode, the Honourable Scott Brison, BMO Vice-Chair and a former Member of Parliament, joins me to discuss Canada’s political backdrop. Scott outlines the current state of the government amid President Trump’s tariff threats, his experiences with some of Canada’s key political figures ahead of what could be a spring election, and what’s needed to improve persistently weak productivity.

Following the interview with Mr. Brison, I provide a quick take on my expectations for next week’s Bank of Canada policy announcement, and my favourite trade ideas.

As always, all feedback is welcome.
