ZOOMER SQUAD: AN UPDATE ON THE ONTARIO ELECTION   

Jane Brown is filling in for Libby Znaimer today. She is joined by Rudy Buttignol, President of CARP, Anthony Quinn, Chief Operating Officer of CARP and David Valentin, Principal at Liaison Strategies.

Our Zoomer Squad reacts to the latest polling with regards to the Ontario election and what they think are the key ballot box issues this time around.

ARE PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP'S "CANADA AS A 51st STATE" COMMENTS MAKING YOU ANXIOUS?  

Jane Brown is joined by Dr. Steve Joordens, a professor of psychology at the University of Toronto.

U.S. President Donald Trump keeps mentioning the idea of Canada becoming the 51st State and we ask our listeners whether this is causing some anxiety in their lives. Steve weighs in on some strategies for staying calm amid the uncertainty.

Jane Brown is joined by Amy Robinson, Executive Director, LOCO BC and Torsten Jaccard, Assistant Professor at UBC's School of Economics who researches international trade.

If you watched the Superbowl yesterday evening, a lot of the commercials shared a common theme: buy Canadian. Amid tariff tensions, there's been plenty of discussion about buying local. But how easy is it to determine that what you are buying is completely or largely Canadian made? Meanwhile, can we expect tariffs to soon be imposed on Canadian aluminum and steel by the Trump administration?
