With Justin on parental leave, Kirstyn calls in backup. Jared Dodds of Manufacturing Automation and Sadi Muktadir of Canadian Manufacturing are the two editors behind Annex’s new Defence Manufacturing in Canada, and they break down Canada’s defence moment: drones, procurement and whether we need a homegrown prime. Plus, recaps from IMTS and the Canadian Robotics Council Symposium, and one very thin winter coat.
Justin and Kirstyn sit down with the president of Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters to discuss Canada’s defence moment and what it means for manufacturers. Naturally, the conversation gets into trade and tariffs, too.
Christy Michalak, director at NGen, joins the show to unpack the advanced manufacturing technologies with the potential to reshape the sector, Canada's emerging defence opportunity, and where the country can lead globally. But first, Kirstyn and Justin dig into the collapsing Canada-U.S. trade talks and the new tariffs hitting Canadian goods. Plus, it's Justin's last Two Truths and a Lie before he heads off on parental leave.
This episode we’re balancing light and heavy: Ray and Elke Syvitski, owners of the charming ToyMaker of Lunenburg, talk to us about using Canadian materials, manufacturing locally, and resisting the pull to move operations abroad. But first we break down the gathering storm around the price of oil and what Trump really wants from Canadian manufacturing.
Robert Jolliffe of Sabre Limited joins us to talk about Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems and AI, and to share some of his thoughts on Star Wars. Justin and Kirstyn also dig into scope 1, 2 & 3 emissions and the greenhouse gas protocol, along with more on CUSMA and other news.
