Canada’s Central Bank lowered rates this week to the surprise of no one. Tens of thousands of jobs were lost over the summer and inflation, if not easing, does appear to be contained. But as the Bank said in its statement, the path ahead will still be very much determined by what happens on trade. Host Amanda Lang speaks to Tiff Macklem, Governor of the Bank of Canada, about the decisions ahead and how friction with the U.S. will continue to affect our economy. “It’s not going to feel very good. It’s slow growth. And it’s slow because the economy needs to adjust to this new reality,” Macklem explains.
