OEA Webinar: Trump Jolts — 100 Days of Carney in Office

The Ottawa Economics Association (OEA) invites you to a timely and exciting webinar:
“Canadian Economy Faces Trump Jolts: 100 Days of Carney in Office.”

Join leading economists, Bill Robson and Glen Hodgson, as they unpack the economic challenges of recent U.S. policy shifts and assess their impact on Canada’s fiscal and monetary landscape. From escalating trade tensions and shifts in defence spending to climate policy commitments and emerging macroeconomic risks—including inflationary pressures and labour market constraints—this session will explore where Canada stands and what policy levers remain at its disposal.

This webinar offers critical insights into the challenges and choices facing Canada’s economy in a volatile global environment.
