The Truth About Canadian Agriculture’s Political Reality with Tyler McCann
In this episode of The Truth About Ag, Evan Shout sits down with Tyler McCann, Managing Director of the Canadian Agri-Food Policy Institute (CAPI), for a candid conversation about the state of ag policy in Canada. They start with the role CAPI plays in shaping agri-food dialogue, including the value of its regular newsletter, before diving into the aftermath of Canada’s recent federal election.
They examine how policies around capital gains, tax incentives, and trade disputes are shaped, not always by evidence or industry needs, but by shifting politics. The conversation also takes a critical look at Canada’s supply management system, comparing it to the U.S. model and asking hard questions about long-term competitiveness and economic resilience.
For anyone trying to understand where Canadian agriculture policy is headed—and what’s getting in the way—this episode brings needed clarity.
