Canada’s economy is at an inflection point. Policymakers are weighing how to keep the country competitive while managing fiscal pressures and navigating a turbulent global landscape. Rising costs are squeezing households, stagnant growth is testing businesses large and small, and the signals that matter are getting harder to read.

The upcoming federal budget will provide the clearest view yet of the new government’s priorities. Will it find a balance between fostering growth and maintaining discipline?

Meanwhile, Canada can no longer ignore its role on the global stage. From escalating trade tensions to geopolitical uncertainty and its effect on markets, what’s happening beyond Canada’s borders is making waves at home.

The Logic’s newsroom explores these issues and more in this conversation between economics columnist and editor-at-large Kevin Carmichael, reporter Laura Osman and senior editor Sharon Lam, with special remarks from Royce Mendes, managing director and head of macro strategy at Desjardins Group.
