Q1 Economic Outlook with Stephen Poloz

Canada at a crossroads: economic uncertainty in the wake of ‘America First’

With U.S. President Donald Trump’s “America First” trade policy weighing heavy on the minds of Canadians, what can businesses and policymakers in Canada do to navigate these challenges effectively? On top of a looming trade war and ongoing threats to make Canada the 51^st state, uncertainty is further amplified by political upheaval in Ottawa and a federal election on the horizon.

Even though Canada’s unemployment rate dropped in January as the economy posted solid job gains, adding 76,000 jobs, will that trend continue as organizations consider how best to shore up if tariffs come into effect and cut into their bottom line? Some small manufacturers have already made job cuts even with a 30-day pause on proposed tariffs.

Please join us virtually, for a discussion on these and other issues related to the health of the economy, with Osler Special Advisor and former Bank of Canada Governor Stephen Poloz.

This is a unique opportunity to gain valuable insights and engage with one of Canada’s most-respected economists. Whether you are a business owner, policymaker or simply interested in the economic health of Canada, this webinar promises to equip you with the knowledge needed to make informed decisions.

Osler National Co-Chair Maureen Killoran will facilitate the Q&A session with Stephen.
