UW ETIC

Fotios Raptis, Senior International Economist at TD, Michael Adams, President at Environics Institute, and Mark Warner, Principle at MAAW LAW joined us for our first "In the Trump Economy" speaker event. Missed Mr. Michael Adams' speech or want to hear more? Don't miss his new book, Could It Happen Here?: Canada in the Age of Trump and Brexit, which is coming out shortly in this September! :)

It is a hot summer day in Las Vegas during the year of 2019. In front of a Russian Roulette wheel there sit four people: Eric, Tom, Ian, and Calvin.

Eric was a billionaire who invested heavily in Canadian companies, but he lost all of his money recently due to the weakened Canadian economy.

Tom was the owner of a Ford auto factory in Ontario, now he just lost his job because the company decided to move the factory back to the U.S. since the taxes are cheaper there.

Ian was a mechanical engineer at an oil company in Alberta, and he is also unemployed since the oil company had to cut huge expenses due to the low demand from the U.S.

Calvin, as a lumberjack in Canada, he was forced to leave his job since the lumber company he worked for just declared bankruptcy.

Now, the four Canadians met for the first time on a casino table, hoping they can use the last penny in their pockets to save themselves from poverty.

Is it possible that this story can actually happen in the future?
As the Canadian government, what actions should we take in order to prevent this from happening?
As individuals, how should we manage our investments to minimize Trump's impacts on our jobs and income?

During UW ETIC's brand new chapter, we will help you understand what exactly the "Trump Economy" means to all of us.
