## Resource

Today on The Peak Daily , we’re heading to Beijing’s massive auto show to see why China’s EV makers are pulling ahead, and what it could mean for North American giants like Ford, GM, and Stellantis. Then, we break down a quiet Canadian tax change that could make it easier for business owners to sell to employees through Employee Ownership Trusts — potentially reshaping who owns the country’s small businesses. The Peak Daily is produced in partnership with reframevid.com
