ATB Financial’s Chief Economist, Todd Hirsch, is joined by Carlo Dade, Director - Trade and Investment Centre, Canada West Foundation.

Todd and Carlo unpack the complex topic of trade and the future of trade with one of Canada’s largest trading partners, China. What is the future of trade with China as it emerges as the largest global economy? Since Canada’s exports serve the global middle class, as China’s middle class continues to grow, the opportunities for Canada to export more goods and services grows as well. 

How will entrepreneurs or business owners navigate trade relations and supply chains? How do we create a world where two economic systems co-exist? Answering these questions will guide Canada’s policies and thinking into the future.
