Former CBC and BBC Radio Host Mary Ambrose sits down with Patrick Leblond, a Senior Fellow with the Centre for International Governance Innovation, for a conversation about the NAFTA renegotiations and e-commerce.
NAFTA covers auto parts, reduced tariffs on textiles and lots of other trade issues, but it doesn’t mention online shopping. Because when NAFTA was created in 1994, there was no online shopping. A year after the ink was dry on the NAFTA agreement, Amazon started shipping books and today e-commerce is a multi-billion dollar industry.
Will e-commerce and online security get into the NAFTA discussion and will they address it? Patrick Leblond shares his thoughts in this episode of the CIGI Podcast.

Paying the Price for Trudeau's Pipeline Decisions - The CIGI Podcast
Former CBC and BBC Radio Host Mary Ambrose sits down for a conversation with Jeff Rubin, a senior fellow with CIGI’s Global Economy Program, to talk about the Liberal Government's recent pipeline decisions which delighted some and angered others. The most controversial approval is the $6.8-billion Kinder Morgan Trans Mountain project which would add 980 kilometres of new pipeline between Edmonton, AB. and Burnaby, B.C. Importantly, it would open up a route to the Pacific for Alberta’s oilsands. Jeff Rubin's recent publication "The Case for Divesting from Fossil Fuels in Canada" adds context to the decision and can be found here https://www.cigionline.org/publications/case-divesting-fossil-fuels-canada.
