We’re all a bit sick of the on-again, off-again tariff roller coaster coming from south of the border. But the reality is, the tariffs from the United States have had a hard hitting impact on many sectors in Manitoba.

But there has been a silver lining for Chaeban Ice Cream and Chaeban Artisan. The buy Canadian push has been a boon for this small but growing business.

In our latest Manitoba Inc Business Podcast episode, we sit down with co-owner and chief flavour expert Joseph Chaeban to discuss his success story in these uncertain economic times.

Also in this episode, we take on the topic of Portage and Main re-opening to pedestrians in late June and head back to Lake of the Woods brewing Company to get recommendations on the perfect long weekend beer choices.
