  • Summary

  • After catching you up on the news of the week in business in The Briefs, Amanda Lang speaks with Duke Change, CEO of Canada Helps, to hear about the unexpected impact the recent Canada Post work stoppage had on charities who rely on mailed cheques from donors every holiday season.

    The loonie has sold off heavily in recent months, touching as low as 66 cents US at one point in December. Amanda Lang speaks with Charles St-Arnaud, chief economist at Alberta Central, and Trevor Tombe, an economist at the University of Calgary for their thoughts on what the loonie’s weakness means in the scheme of things, and how Canadian consumers and businesses should plan to deal with the currency.

    Amanda Lang speaks with Dillon Baxter, the CEO of PlantSwitch, about his company’s promising new technology for environmentally friendly and biodegradable cutlery and packaging. And in her Takeaway, Amanda says the apparent demise of the Net Zero Banking Alliance feels all too predictable given the current political climate, and serves as a reminder of the dangers of asking corporations to get out in front of always shifting political winds.
