BIV hosts Kirk LaPointe and Hayley Woodin sit down with Tantalus Labs founder Dan Sutton (1:15), who offers his insights about what these regulations mean for producers. Later, Retail Insider editor-in-chief Craig Patterson (13:15) joins the show for its regular segment to discuss how the new owner of the Canadian division of Toys “R” Us could keep some American outlets open, Amazon’s efforts to keep Canadians happy as it raises Prime membership rates in the U.S. and how Vancouver’s skyrocketing gas prices are affecting consumer spending.
