Summary
On this episode, Michael LeBlanc and Sylvain Charlebois tackle the biggest food and agriculture stories shaping Canada—from Dunkin'’s return and dairy supply decisions in Ontario to climate policy influenced by new research, potential carbon tax pauses in Alberta, and the Bank of Canada’s POV on some causes of food inflation brought on by Canada’s tariff policies. Then, in a wide-ranging conversation, Kim Furlong, CEO of the Retail Council of Canada, explains why Canadians misunderstand grocery pricing, what retailers are really facing, and how AI, regulation, and North American geopolitics and trade issues are reshaping the future of food retail in Canada.
