WELCOME TO THE MWSA PODCAST FOR TUESDAY, FEB. 11th

We begin with our weekly conversation with Mercedes Stephenson – Global News Ottawa Bureau Chief – and Host of the West Block. This time out, we get clarification on the latest ‘Tariff’ announcement earlier this week by President Donald Trump – focusing on Steel and Aluminum – and what’s being done to ‘counter’ the tariffs, on our side of the border.

We catch up with Carlo Dade – Director of Trade and Trade Infrastructure with the “Canada West Foundation” – for his views on just how much of an impact the taxation would have on these industries – and our overall economy.
