Key interest rate continues to drop, Alberta's handling of the trade war, tariffs impacting tourism

  • Summary

  • The Bank of Canada lowered the key interest rate to 2.75% earlier this week. It's been a steady streak of cuts, but the trade war could throw a wrench in any plan for further decreases. Steve Ambler is a professor of economics at Université du Québec à Montréal and is the David Dodge Chair in Monetary Policy. He previews what could come in the months ahead. Alberta still holds a 'silver bullet' in this trade war with a possible oil export tax. Premier Smith has said repeatedly that's not on the table. Jason Kenney is the former premier of Alberta and held many different federal cabinet positions. He's been watching this closely and took some time to share his views with Shaye.
