Battle lines are being drawn in the Canadian tech industry around a policy initiative that is drawing comparison to Elon Musk’s DOGE.
Plus, updates on tariffs, and The Breakdown podcast’s legal battle.
CORRECTION: In an earlier version of this episode, producer James Nicholson suggests reports of the number of USMCA-compliant goods imported from Canada to the United States are between 62% and 95%. The number reported is actually between 38% and 95%; the CBC reported Canada-imported good to the U.S. could be as high as 62% non-compliant. The episode was edited to remove the mention of this range.
