Canadian policy shift on May 7 left most food tariffs intact, notably on tea. The 25 percent duty hits African exporters and costs Canadian consumers, seniors, and low income households, while tea imports rely on U S transshipment. Dalhousie professor Sylvain Charlebois argues the tariff harms global equity and domestic consumers, urging Ottawa to scrap it.

Housing affordability worsens under strict growth limits
The 2025 Demographia report by Frontier Centre and Chapman University finds housing unaffordability rising across 95 markets in eight countries, tied to land-use rules and urban containment like greenbelts and zoning. Canada trails with a national median multiple of 5.4, led by Vancouver and Toronto, while remote work and dual incomes shape future demand and policy debates. Lee Harding of the Frontier Centre and Troy Media contribute.
