Description

In some big business news, Canadian company Alimentation Couche-Tard Inc...better known simply as Couche-Tard has offered to purchase the entire 7-11 empire for tens of billions of dollars in a still confidential takeover bid!

Host Alex Pierson speaks with Professor Sylvain Charlebois, the director of the agri-food analytics lab at Dalhousie University and a professor in food distribution and policy at Dalhousie University about what we know so far about this deal, and also what it would mean for Canada if our entire rail system is essentially shutdown due to strikes...like what we could see in the coming days.
