The cost of lving (Radio One)

Radio One (News Talk Canada) interviewed senior research fellow Joseph Glauber on US trade in the Americas. “The US can now get fruit year-round. During winter, fruit comes from Mexico or Central America. In the summer, the U.S. eats local, in the winter we don’t.” The tension comes during, what Glauber calls the “Shoulder season” or Spring. “We have some markets of the country [U.S.] which are warmer and produce fruits and get things into the markets in early Spring when we’re still importing a lot. There has been some tension there. Some states, like Florida want tariffs that are seasonal (just in the shoulder season) so they have an advantage in the market.” Rebroadcasted on Radio One outlets throughout Canada, including CBLA (CBC Radio One Toronto), CBTK-FM CBC Radio One Prince Rupert, CBCV-FM (CBC Radio One Victoria), CBYK-FM (CBC Radio One Kamloops), CBTK-FM (CBC Radio One Kelowna), CBU-FM (CBC Radio Two Vancouver), CBYG-FM (CBC Radio One Prince George), CHAK (CBC Radio One Manitoba), CBRFM (CBC Music Calgary), CBHA (CBC Radio One Nova Scotia and thirty other outlets.
