What is the toll of the tariffs?
Social Sharing
In February, under the threat of the U.S. President's tariffs, economists were bracing for the worst. But after months of volatility, ever-changing tariffs and exemptions, the country's economy is faring better than expected.
That's not to say we've escaped the trade war unscathed. Manufacturing sales are down and unemployment is up, and regions dependent on steel, aluminum and auto exports are feeling the pain. So, what does this all mean for the average Canadian? How likely is a recession? What will it take for things to get better?
CBC's senior business reporter, Peter Armstrong, joins the show today to talk about how our economy has been holding up and where things could be headed.

White House will resume Canada trade talks after digital services tax removal, Trump adviser says
A top adviser to U.S. President Donald Trump says the White House will resume trade negotiations with Canada after Prime Minister Mark Carney's climbdown on Ottawa's digital services tax. The now-scrapped tax had targeted foreign tech giants, chiefly U.S.-based companies including Amazon, Google, Meta, Airbnb, and Uber. Kevin Hassett, director of the National Economic Council, confirmed to Fox News on Monday morning that trade talks will restart. 'Oh, absolutely,' he said, when asked if the two sides would immediately resume negotiations. It was only late Sunday, hours before the first digital services tax payments were due, that Mr. Carney's government announced it was scrapping the levy. The reversal came after Prime Minister spoke with Mr. Trump earlier Sunday. Mr. Hassett said Mr. Trump raised the DST with Mr. Carney at the G7 summit in Kananaskis, Alta., earlier this month. The President then threatened last Friday that, if the tax remained in place, he would break off trade talks and impose more tariffs on Canada in seven days. 'One of the things that the President asked for,' at the G7, Mr. Hassett said, 'was that they would take the DST tax off. It's something that they've studied, now they've agreed to and, for sure, that means that we can get back to the negotiations.' The tax, which would have imposed a three-per-cent levy on digital services by major tech companies, was passed by Canada last year with the first payments due to be collected June 30. Canada and the U.S. are in negotiations towards a trade and security deal as Mr. Carney aims to have Mr. Trump's tariffs removed. Canada faces tariffs of 50 per cent on steel and aluminum exported to the U.S., 25 per cent on autos, as well as blanket tariffs on all other goods exported outside the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA.) At the G7, Mr. Trump and Mr. Carney set a deadline of July 21 to finish the deal. After that, there may be a further renegotiation of the USMCA.

Can the Share Buyback Act as a Catalyst for Vistra's Long-Term Growth?
Vistra Corp. 's VST aggressive share repurchase initiative is central to its long-term value creation strategy. Since November 2021, the company has repurchased shares worth $5.2 billion of its own shares through May 2, 2025. With $1.5 billion still authorized and expected to be executed by 2026, this program significantly enhances shareholder value by improving key per-share metrics — most notably earnings per share (EPS) and free cash flow per share — even as overall net income grows at a moderate pace. These buybacks are fueled by Vistra's strong free cash flow generation rather than debt, underscoring the financial discipline behind its capital return strategy. In 2025, the company expects its adjusted FCFbG to be between $3.0 billion and $3.6 billion, supported by its strong liquidity. This ensures that Vistra can continue repurchasing shares while simultaneously investing in high-return opportunities across clean energy, including nuclear assets, solar and storage development, and full ownership of Vistra Vision. The repurchase strategy also complements Vistra's transition to a low-carbon portfolio. As the company consolidates renewable and nuclear operations, it is seeing robust EBITDA and cash flow growth. Prioritizing repurchases over idle cash balances reflects management's conviction in Vistra's valuation and prospects. Vistra's share buyback program reinforces shareholder confidence, improves capital efficiency and strengthens its growth trajectory, making it a key pillar of its long-term investment thesis. Utilities Increase Shareholders' Value Through Buybacks Share buybacks help utilities with stable cash flows to enhance shareholder value by reducing the number of outstanding shares, increasing earnings per share and signaling the companies' financial stability. NextEra Energy NEE is executing share repurchase programs. NextEra has used buybacks to complement its dividend policy. The current authorization allows NextEra to buy back 180 million shares. Constellation Energy CEG is also buying back shares to increase shareholders' value. CEG's board of directors has authorized the repurchase of up to $3 billion in shares. As of March 31, 2025, CEG had 841 million remaining authority to repurchase shares. VST's Earnings Estimate Moving Up The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Vistra's 2025 and 2026 earnings per share indicates an increase of 3.53% and 2.84%, respectively, in the past 60 days.

Steelworkers' union in full support of sale of EVRAZ North America, Regina steel plant
The steel plant in Regina is seen in this undated file photo. The United Steelworkers union (USW) says it fully supports the sale of EVRAZ North America to Connecticut based Atlas Holdings, which includes the steel plant in Regina. In a news release on Friday, Atlas said it anticipates the deal to close in the second half of 2025. The steelworkers' union said that the announcement of the acquisition provides more clarity for its members moving forward after a challenging time. 'After a long period of uncertainty following sanctions on the company's former owner, this announcement provides a path forward for the thousands of workers across North America and brings new opportunity for investment and growth in Canada's steel industry,' the union said in a news release on Monday. Russian-owned EVRAZ was sanctioned in 2022 shortly after Russia first invaded Ukraine. Mike Day, president of USW Local 5890, which represents steelworkers in Regina said the past few years have been difficult for its members who continued to work through uncertainty with professionalism and pride. 'We're hopeful this marks the beginning of a long and positive relationship with Atlas. Our members are ready to continue doing what they do best by producing high-quality Canadian steel that supports our economy and our communities,' Day said in the release. USW says it's committed to working with the new ownership group and all levels of government to ensure that the Regina and Calgary facilities continue to play critical roles in the provinces' economic future. USW, which represents 225,000 steelworkers in Canada, says it will engage closely with Atlas and all stakeholders in the coming months to ensure a smooth transition, prioritize job security and advocate for policies that support a strong domestic steel sector. Along with Regina, EVRAZ North America operates in Alberta, Colorado and Oregon.
