Weak Consumers, Big Deficits, and Ottawa’s New Industrial Policy

In this episode of The Canadian Macro Investor, we break down some of the biggest Canadian macro and investing stories from the week. We discuss signs of pressure on Canadian consumers, recent government fiscal trends, and what the latest economic data could mean for interest rates, inflation, and the broader economy.

We also look at Ottawa’s push into critical minerals, including the federal government’s potential investment in Teck, and why these types of projects are increasingly being framed through a national security lens. We then touch on broader North American macro themes, including trade, tariffs, consumer spending, and what investors should watch as the second half of the year unfolds.

Tickers discussed: TECK-B.TO
