A potash tariff sounds satisfying, but Dalhousie food professor Sylvain Charlebois maps out who actually pays for it. By the end you will see why turning off the potash, the oil, and the electricity is nowhere near as simple as it sounds.
Grocery shelves are getting their tariff labels back, and Charlebois explains which products are actually affected this time, and which ones are not. A seafood tariff reversal comes down to one detail most shoppers have never considered.
From a beard oil built in Canada with bottles and oils sourced from around the world, to a coffee pot with nothing on the shelf clearly Canadian, the conversation lands on why buying local has gotten so hard to actually do. A quick detour into hockey sticks and a stolen lake name keeps things light.
