has already been done for canada. this work suggests a rate of increase that is clearly below 2%. you might ask, where did that come from? well, it came from a lot of research, but the three reasons for having an inflation rate above zero at the time for us, we're not regarded as that material. we had a measurement bias in the c.p.i., but it was judged to be very low. presently probably, and then half a percent or less now, that's not a reason to have a 2% target. we could find some statistical support for this notion of nominal wage rigidity, which would be the second argument, but our work suggests that economically it was not very important or meaningful. and because of the great moderation perhaps, we underestimated the significance of the effect of lower balance. that was something that we thought, if it did occur, surely there would be means to overcome. so that's where we were coming from at the time. in the event the target was renewed with the government in 1993, i won't go through why, instead of 1995, and i

and canada and the u.s. and mexico in their very nature to make them a creative place where you are providing security but facilitating all of that good traffic and doing it in the context of a network of information sharing that really lets you know who is coming and going. and that vision is also in danger if we move back to an isolated idea of the three countries sort of getting along with each other but not really taking advantage of all of the potential that is there. >> i think the scene coming up with an upgraded 2.0, or 3.0 free trade agreement is to jettison my way or the highway approach and the zeros -- on the mechanics with which this administration has approached the issues in the negotiation itself. you have to get rid of sunset clauses. it is on surd. a sunset clause -- it runs counter to why you have a free trade agreement in the first place. you're not going to sign a free trade agreement if you are a company and invest, you are not going to do it if every five years you have to renegotiate

iris canada. >> there you go. >> i have multiple photos on my ipad of her, not only voting in the 2016, the 2015, every single election she voted in right there at her polling place. she received physical therapy at her home. she left her home to be hospitalized. when you have adults that come together and collude against a senior that's disabled for financial benefit, it's called elder abuse. when you're the director of housing and you have that privilege and you remove property from the housing market in another state at the height of a housing crisis, that's a moral issue. i ask this body that's supposed to protect the rights of the citizens ask -- and that's why you have this process. he wanted her to refuse her rights to refusal. the first application stated that my aunt had moved to texas. however, he visited us on may 29th until the bay area, took a picture in a dr application presented by another one of the residents in the building. that resident is saying she lives there and the property

and those of mexico and canada. and how that relationship has prospered as we talked about the issues of nafta. mexico and canada are among the countries largest trading partners and we will hear about that in a second. at first i thought i would share just for a minute, how important the border cities and how important trade is with cities like san diego. i will introduce my friend from tijuana in just a second. it is not about to cities, that strength is one region. and how we are working together.how we are creating good quality jobs on both sides of the border. how it is incredibly important to our economy. san diego alone, approximately 110,000 jobs that are in our city because of nafta, because of trade. mexico is the number one trade partner and canada is the second. we are happy to have you here to get a unique perspective on issues that are facing us as cities and as mayors, particularly as negotiations are taking place this very week on nafta. it is not jobs, dollars and moving forward. i'm delighted to he

in canada. and perhaps i relay somewhat ewe neck and specific to canada. but i think you'll find it interesting and beyond that i also think that there are more general lessons here. so don't want to over sell it. first thing i'd like to say is in fact standing things on their head a little, when inflation targeting came to canada it was actually the government that proposed it. not the bank of canada. now you might say why would they do that? and three quick reasons. come to mind. one of them the most positive perhaps is a they thought it was a good idea. and thought the reserve bank of new zealand provided an interesting lead. some encouragement. number two, is that the government was in the process of introducing a new goods and services tax. which was going to boost the headline inflation rate. quite significantly. this coincided with a situation where unfortunately they had to negotiate labor contracts with almost all the unions in the federal government. so you can think of them wanting an inflation target as some kind of assurance. some kind of buff

, he said canada's ideas particularly on all rules may be counterproductive and that canada has madetack on u.s. trade laws. once again, the u.s. trade representative there is speaking. the canadian dollar is trading weaker by about one third 1% this round of talks. mark: let's look at how this impacts the markets. equities,hairman of patrick baird, joins us today. to what extent trade in terms america's first agenda -- and looking at the nafta talks and what happened with his tariffs on solar panels and washing machines, looking at the comments made by president trump on the dollar, and through it all together in a basket. does it have the potential to stop this global equity rally in its tracks? mr. baird: the important thing is, as we know now, given that trump has been in power for year since his inauguration in the 20th of january, there is no filter on the administration. they will say whatever they need to say to get a deal done. in my mind, it's been posturing. spencer: the congress has the path to many changes in these agreements before trump. they are the safety valve. he c

so far this year time now for a quick break but hang with us because when we return we'll see why canada is taking the united states to the core of the world trade organization and ask alex mahela bitch if it means more that it seems as we go to break here are those numbers at the closing bell to close out the week. unfortunately it appears that once people learn that you've reported in a sexual assault or may have been involved in an incident that they become scared of you instead of being scared of the perpetrator. in the hearts of the swiss alps this is a place probably more secretive than the pentagon more mysterious than the cia and better guarded than fort knox swiss customs i hear pronouns lacewell all the science is controlled by them and they impose the opening times the opposite possibilities from these all plus the procedures in place of the strictest in all europe must to pieces by artists like picasso and modigliani. camped boards and sold inside this warehouse that's where the report comes in it covers up deals with naturally discreet commercially discreet step but also dis

well as president donald trump continues to say his administration will remain tough on trade canada isn't taking a backseat and is taking the u.s. to the world trade organization to arbitrate matters many times and trade disputes with negotiations between canada the u.s. it involves lumber and this one does but it may mean much more from toronto alex mchale of it helps us get to the bottom of it all alex. you know this is one of those situations where a candidate just thrown in a nother monkey wrench into trade negotiations with the united states so we know that nafta goshi actions have not been going too well and it's a lot has to do with president trump saying are you going to pull out of nafta he's going to pull out of nothing pleasant to have to hear it over and over again so of course everybody around mexico and canada glued it are panicking every time they hear that so canada kind of a weird move has now gone to the world trade organization with a completely different dispute and as you mentioned lumber is a big part of this this lumber disputes been going on since the nine hu

and those of mexico and canada. and how that relationship has prospered as we talked about the issues of nafta. mexico and canada are among the countries largest trading partners and we will hear about that in a second. at first i thought i would share just for a minute, how important the border cities and how important trade is with cities like san diego. i will introduce my friend from tijuana in just a second. it is not about to cities, that strength is one region. and how we are working together.how we are creating good quality jobs on both sides of the border. how it is incredibly important to our economy. san diego alone, approximately 110,000 jobs that are in our city because of nafta, because of trade. mexico is the number one trade partner and canada is the second. we are happy to have you here to get a unique perspective on issues that are facing us as cities and as mayors, particularly as negotiations are taking place this very week on nafta. it is not jobs, dollars and moving forward. i'm delighted to he

so far this year time now for a quick break but hang with us because when we return we'll see why canada is taking united states to the court of the world trade organization and ask alex mahela bitch if it means more that it seems and as we go to break here are those numbers at the closing bell to close out the week. some animal rights activists are just upset that we eat meat period which makes no sense by the way because animals eat other animals and we're supposed to be equal with animals but suddenly they don't want to humans eating other animals so in a sense they're saying that animals have the right to eat other animals but humans don't have a right to eat other animals even though they think we're all equal so some of there's a logical inconsistency that. in two thousand and sixteen the panama papers show the world with a tax haven the secrets to trilling and united states dollars passed through mossad conseco in the amount of time that we've been in the panama papers exposure that's what it shows it's a lot of money it really is. journalism it's a fact of journalism looking at t

our products are made in canada. have decades of history and craftsmanship and i think for sure it's an investment product. well, at the same time it's, you know, not only is it enduring but it's relevant and it's -- i think that's part of the magic. >> you have three things i want all the companies involved with retail to have, managed scarcity, preserve brand strong and shorten product cycles i can't find a company that's more than one of those you have all lee. >> yeah, we -- i think that we plan our business very well and, you know, people think like that we intentionally starve the market we don't do that we plan our business well. wholesale business well and plan our dtc business well and, you know, we're not afraid to be sold out i think we do not view ourselves as a commodity so if we were a t-shirt company and we missed a t-shirt sale then maybe we would have missed a sale to me, you know, if somebody can't find the product they want to find a certain year they'll come back for it next year we're -- our prod

4 years at the bank of canada. last four as deputy governor. he retired three years ago and is now an academic and a board member. he's going to talk a little bit about how the bank of canada has come to have a much more organized process about reviewing the framework. and then the president of the federal reserve bank of boston, who has been thinking about just that question, is going to respond. so, john? >> is this mic on? thank you. there should be a power point that accompanies this. not that one. [laughter] h. there. you can see what i propose to talk about, and for central bankers in the room, this will usually make them apoplectic.

net trade with mexico and canada. mexico at the top and canada at the bottom.n the right-hand side of the screen, you can see size relative to the other. the mexican number is way bigger than the canada number. just to give you a sense of the mathematical issue here for canada, way worse than the mexicans. youyou get any sense when were talking to these people on the canadian negotiating team whether they believed the united states were willing to budge? josh: not in this round. in previous talks, the canadians have said their case is different and mexico, but they have a voided -- avoided throwing mexico under the bus, because president trump has treated canada as a problem as well. u.s. data tends to back up justin trudeau. it depends on which data you use. president trump is trying to solve problems with mexico and canada. saying, that is not how you measure a trade deal. we will not help you change those numbers. bloomberg'snks to canadian government reporter, joining us from ottawa on canadian government officials saying that the increased likelihood of th

canada being our second. we're delighted to be here with all of you to get a unique perspective on some of the issues that are facing us as cities, as mayors, particularly as negotiations are taking place this very week on nafta. it's about jobs, it's about dollars, it is about moving forward. so i'm delighted to help moderate the panel here today. but first i'd like to introduce, we will go through some speakers, i'd like everybody to speak or maybe just about three to five minutes. want to make sure we have time for questions and dialogue from her fellow mayors across the country for our session long today. so for selected introduce the director of the adrian ash latin america said on atlantic council. jason will provide us a brief overview on the nafta process picked his conference work with atlantic council on pastorate issues and look forward to ongoing collaboration. please help me welcome jason marczak. >> thank you very much, mayor faulconer. it's a pleasure to be a, pleasure to be with the conference

interdiction and secretary thompson could have you asked canada and canada's military to play a role in this important part of enforcing the sanctions. well nice to see you here glenn thanks for coming. as secretary tillerson said we had an extensive discussion of counter smuggling sanctions evasion and maritime interdiction and one of the points that we discussed at length and i think it would be fair to say the group of twenty nations agreed on is not only our sanctions starting to bite are they starting to have a positive effect but the best next step for us to take is to be sure that those sanctions already in place with you when approval actually are fully implemented so that was an issue we discussed at some length and certainly canada has a strong role to play we are working together on a number of different fronts we've joined together with our american partners in capacity building for countries there are a lot of countries we have found in the world who have the political will to implement sanctions but lack the technical capacity and can it is contributing three point two

panels affectar canada?urvery tariff in estimation is potentially in the negative, so we will look for ways to come to an agreement that reduces terriers on tariffs. a big part of that is that to make sure that canadians see the benefits. we can't do those two things in isolation, have to think about making sure that families could see opportunities for their children, and that is the same confidence that will make them say that we can be part of the global system. that is our approach. >> what is the percentage that nafta gets ripped apart or it gets renegotiated to the point that president trump says that we are still in? our plan a is to improve nafta, and that is the outcome that should be the expected outcome. nafta provides 9 million jobs in the united states. and has been positive in mexico and canada. our supply chains are interconnected. will we all recognize that it was done 24 years ago, so there are places we can improve, by looking at the digital economy, looking at how labor in certain sectors

the biggest companies in canada. you can see that's pretty good stock down about one and a quarter percent. on the chart just when those headlines came out with regard to whether or not canada thinks that the u.s. is going to withdraw from nafta. that move there exacerbated by those headlines. also the ishares mexico capped etf, this is another one that tracks the biggest mexican companies. same kind of situation that chart on the right hand side, right when the headlines came out, a sharp move lower we can call your attention to the other stocks we've been seeing with regard to moves. general motors on the auto manufacturing side we have a lot of business cross border between the u.s., canada, and mexico also kansas city southern, a railroad company that does a good amount of business with regards of the mexico side of the border as well also constellation brands. known for among other things, corona beers and modello beers, those moved as well. we're going to continue to watch this story as things develop some of t

the bank of canada has breaking news. julie: the bank of canada raising its overnight rate here as many expected but some were predicting perhaps some kind of hawkish hold. that's not happening. the bank of canada raising its interest rate to 1.25%. the bank of canada forecasting 3% gdp growth in 2017. 2.2% in 2018. slowing obviously. at the same time, it's raising its estimates for this year for consumption and housing. labor slack is being absorbed more quickly than anticipated and the bank of canada expects inflation to remain near 2% three 2019. the u.s. tax reform is likely to curb canadian investment growth. bank of canada raising its overnight interest rate to 1. 25%. eady -- we are seeing the dollar spike. a .5% gain in the dollar in reaction to that. there had been a bit of hedging in recent days. the bank of canada might consider nafta and a breakdown in nafta talks as a central risk and might hold off on this raise, but that has not happened. we will hear from the bank of canada governor later in the day. he wi

canada is a very energetic and enthusiastic global activist. we believe in doing what we can to try to bring peace and prosperity and freedom to all people in the world. even as we do that, we are always mindful of the work we have to do here in canada to make our country a better place. one of the things that we feel we haven't done very well and that we're working on to do better is our relationship with the indigenous people in canada. for that reason we like to make a point of opening important international summits like this one with anme acknowledgement o the indigenous presence in canada. i'm pleased we'll be able to open our meeting today with an indigenous welcome. he is going to start things off in a way that should bode well for our deliberations today. deana, please. [ applause ] [ speaking foreign language ] >> i said good day to you all. my name means the cannibal woman. it's a big woman from the mountains. i earn that name on our canoe father and moth family when i was just 18 years old. i got that name because i got children. no

canada has now taken this to the world trade organization pumping up the writer apart pumping up the argument some are calling it very bad timing since we're trying to get now to push through softwood lumber very quickly when we talk about software lobert us about eighty percent of the lumber we see it's me used in construction also used to make paper and cardboard as well so for canada this is a very touchy point since we have a huge forestry industry in this country and they're saying that the u.s. is not playing fair when it comes to this but again this is something we've been saying since the one nine hundred eighty s. and for this to be resolved i can't see it happening too soon you know well we'll keep on it and you'll help us keep on it r.t. correspondent alex mahela bitch thank you as always thank you. so let's get into the details a little bit more how is the farm and rural economy doing and how has the trumpet ministration fared so far let's ask brad kaufman the author of bet the farm how food stop being food who joins us from new york fred thanks for being with us i love t

well the one that you highlighted the case that's ongoing with the trans canada pipeline it's called there's two pipelines one of them in the u.s. called sort of texas two talks to tucson pipeline and there's. two to the pipeline those pipelines connect one of them crosses the us mexico border and goes across the gulf of mexico into mexico and so that the mexico part of the pipelines being protested both act you know activism and courts and in the court case to answer your question at least for that pipeline it's been held up in court because a judge agreed in that court that there was not sufficient consultation with the o. tommy tony tried therefore there needs to be a more consultation more discussion before that particular pipeline can move forward we see a parallel with that with sampras pipeline which crosses the us mexico border in arizona which i wrote about in the article that one is still being heard in court but it's not clear how the judge ruled that ruling will come in the in the weeks to come and go back to the u.s. example of standing rock you know that was held up for

at even for canada this is pretty bad 7 it winter. at even for canada this is pretty bad?is concerning to most people. things have been cancelled all day today. we already have cancellations rolling in for tomorrow. there have been hardly any flights in or out of halifax all day. that is set to continue tomorrow. the confederation bridge, which links new brunswick and prince edward island, that has been com pletely edward island, that has been completely shut down to traffic as well this evening. it is a very significant storm, and a storm surge overnight tonight is anticipated also to be bad for coastal communities. i am sure that you guys expect a winter to be rough, but how well prepared our people, how are people dealing with it? welcome yesterday there was a mad rush to get supplies. grocery stores were com pletely get supplies. grocery stores were completely packed with people looking to get food and water in case the power went out and they we re case the power went out and they were unable to get out for this —— get out of their homes for a few days. gas stations a

it is thatout what canada once and how far canada is going to let itself be pushed around.: when are they meeting next? >> it begins february 26 and runs until march. everybody a great they make a little progress on smaller bright red line is how much auto content has to be made in the united states. the dispute mechanism that deals with lumber is a big trade irritant for the two countries. where they go from here is an interesting question. will canada make additional counterproposals? or do they wait for the u.s.? had a guest last week, an attorney talking about the real issues with canada instead of mexico city, including lumber. we also have to talk about the special duty, because it will be janet yellen's last meeting with the fed. are we expecting a hawkish tone? do think so, because this is her last meeting and it is no sign of a breakout of inflation, so they will try to get out of town with as little views as possible. market expectations for inflation has to a little bit, so maybe take week that language, but at this point, there's no percentage of tying the hands

canada buys more from the u.s. and japan, and china combined.r us to make this thing work is obviously essential. how can we be more innovative in north america? how can we build more in north america and sell to the world? by looking at the integrated supply chain, that is what we are looking at, putting solutions on the table which would strengthen this economic box to make it very competitive around the world -- block to make it very competitive around the world. anna: do you see any chances that ct-tpp undercuts nafta? can the two coexist? it seems like the rules of origin rules look different. perhaps that might undermine nafta on that front. francois-philippe: i would say those are two separate tracts. we set from the beginning that from the canadian perspective, there has not been a better time to diversify. that opened up a market of 500 million people. $3.3 trillion for public procurement. for us as canadians, we are presented 0.5 percent of the world population. 2.5% of global trade. it is essential for canada was to -- modernizing whi

canada's government is cozying up to pro and after republicans in the hopes of keeping the trade pact alive president trump and his administration had threatened to axe the agreement on a number of occasions even with many of his own party backing the deal and how does nafta impact farm in rural economies artie's alex mahela bitch joins us from toronto with more alex tell us about prime minister trudeau strategy with the pro nafta high level republicans. yes prime minister trudeau what keeps him up at night he'll say nothing we know that negotiations haven't been doing too well the last round which was some calling a mini round in december didn't yield much progress whatsoever so the prime minister trudeau is looking to up the ante he sent christian freeland our foreign affairs minister down to the states to talk to the commerce secretary wilbur ross we know that he is not a big fan of nafta as it stands but a lot of people when they don't like nafta all they want to do is see some major changes happen to nafta mainly because if you talk to president trump to get a fair deal for the u

canada is legalizing recreational marijuana. >> canada's process of legalizing recreational cannabis sometime this summer. you are seeing the emergence of about half a dozen public-private companies. we currently have 30 countries around the world with legal medical cannabis. and those companies in canada are exporting product around the world. they are at the forefront of this industry. kn companies, kn i.p. is being built that will be difficult for u.s. companies to compete with. kennedy: the first question i have is about banging. in this country cannabis companies cannot bank with traditional banks because it's federally illegal. will those barriers come down in canada? will they have a legal banging infrastructure? >> yes, that already happened. one of our investments operates in canada for medical cannabis and will be investing. kennedy: we want that money here. >> the big banks in canada just financed a deal, the big six canadaian banks are financing this industry. kennedy: there are people in the financial industry trying to figure out how to bridge that gap. there is only on

provinces in canada discriminate against wines produced overseas.he provinces in question are british columbia, 0ntario, quebec and nova scotia. many provinces implementing higher prices as well as sales taxes on imported wine. in british columbia for example, imported wine has to be sold in a separate section of the supermarket. basically, it's a store within a store and it even has a separate cash registers, so it might prevent people going to buy foreign wine. australia's trade minister, in the complaint, in the press release, has said canada's protectionist policies has the potential to threaten jobs policies has the potential to threatenjobs in policies has the potential to threaten jobs in australia and so under wto rules, because of the complaint, canada has 60 days to settle it before it can be escalated further. they just settle it before it can be escalated further. theyjust need to sit down over a bottle of wine and sort it out. hong kong stocks hit their highest ever level in late trade on wednesday, a day after posting a record close de

in canada they tend to call it "winter" but in parts of north america the current ferocious weather is a very nasty surprise and is being called a "bomb cyclone" — its powerful effects as deadly as the name implies. a severe drop in air pressure has triggered a powerful blizzard that's battered the north east of the united states — and canada — knocking out power for tens of thousands of people. the week—long cold snap has left at least 12 dead — and wrecked travel plans for millions. we begin our coverage with this report from andrew plant. several inches of snow, winds up to 60 miles an hour, blocked roads, black ice, power cuts, and a storm stretching hundreds of miles. new york city like a fairytale for some. the snow, though, a serious hazard to many. we're enjoying it. we're from southern california so it's the first time my kids have been in the snow.

he's arriving this evening in vancouver, canada. ahead of the meetings, he will have discussions this evening with the canadian foreign minister and his counter parts from japan and south korea. the state department says the united states and canada invited countries that joined the u.s. effort in the korean war more than 60 years ago. that means china and russia were not invited and will not be here. china accounts for 90% of north korean trade. the state department says it has coordinated with those governments ahead of the meeting
