According to a survey by TransUnion, a credit reporting company, in 2024, 54% of Canadians said they were recently targeted by email, phone call or text message fraud attempts. The impacts can be devastating and costly.

Before Elon Musk joined forces with Donald Trump, Tesla dominated the US electric vehicle market with some of the best-selling EVs in North America. But starting this year, Tesla became the target of protest and vandalism across the US, not long after Musk was accused of a Nazi salute, and began firing thousands of federal workers in Washington, DC. Here in Canada there have been protests in several cities, and just this past week Teslas have been burned in Calgary and over 80 were damaged at a dealership in Hamilton.

Our question: Whether you own a Tesla or not, what’s your reaction to all the backlash? 

Canada's 45th General Election is officially underway. For the next four weeks, the political parties will be doing what they can to get your vote. And whoever you support, no matter what the latest opinion polls suggest, your vote matters. Even in ridings where it may seem like a foregone conclusion, every vote is a reminder that even in those regions, there is a diversity of political views.

Our question: What’s exciting you about this election? What issue matters most? 

Donald Trump's unpredictable, unrelenting tariff announcements and his threats to our sovereignty have turned things upside down. Some Canadians have responded by taking action: boycotting US products or cancelling trips south of the border. But the uncertainty is weighing heavily on lots of Canadians.

Our question: What impact is all the Trump turbulence having on your mental health?

In the last half hour: tariff retaliation. Our expert answers questions about the Donald Trump's trade war and how aggressive Canada should get.

The trade war with Donald Trump has left many Canadians angry and worried. In response to Trump’s steel and aluminium tariffs, Canada announced retaliatory tariffs on U.S. imported goods worth $29.8 billion. But Trump is not backing down, and is still continuing with his “51st state” taunts. So, how should Canada respond? What options do we have? Carlo Dade is the director of international policy in the school of public policy at the University of Calgary. He is also a senior fellow at the Canada West Foundation. He joined us to take caller questions about Canada's tariff retaliation plan. 

It was just over two months ago that Justin Trudeau announced his resignation as Prime Minister, kicking off the search for the next leader of the Liberal party.  All of this is happening against the backdrop of a seemingly continuous stream of Trump tariff-threats designed to upend the Canadian economy. So as the Liberal party prepares to enter a new chapter, Canadians across the political spectrum are left wondering which leader has what it takes to take on Trump 2.0?

Our question: Who should be the next Liberal leader? Who do you think is strong enough to take on Donald Trump? 

There are six and a half million Canadians without a family doctor. That means more people waiting too long to get treatment or diagnosis, more pressure on emergency departments.

Our question: How are you coping without a family doctor? What impact has it had on your health?

The U.S. and Canada have been long-time allies and neighbours. But when US President Donald Trump began musing and then doubling and tripling down on Canada as the "51st state" tensions pushed us to the brink of a trade war. Then, Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told a group of business leaders on a "hot mic" that Donald Trump's 51st state comments are not a joke but in fact “a real thing”. And after meeting Canadian premiers, deputy White House chief of staff, James Blair cautioned them to take Donald Trump’s comments about the 51st state "at face value”. But while some see this as an attack on Canadian sovereignty, others believe the President is trolling and seeking negotiation leverage for the next round of trade talks.

Our question: What do you think of Trump's comments about Canada becoming the 51st state?

Right now, more than 77 per cent of Canada’s exports go to the U.S. But with the threat of Trump’s tariffs just weeks away, Canada is also looking to stretngthen trading relationships with other countries. So how feasible is it for Canada to expand its footprint in other markets? Our AMA brought in a panel of experts to explore that question. Moshe Lander is a Senior Lecturer in Economics at Concordia University. And Laura Dawson is the Executive Director of the Future Borders Coalition, an organization dedicated to better trade relations between the U.S. and Canada.

With every tariff threat Donald Trump makes and every casual reference to our country being the 51st state, Canadians have been responding. From Canadian flags on cars to flags draped over porch railings, Canadians are finding a newfound sense of patriotism. What impact has Donald Trump's tariff threats had on you? Has it made you reflect on what it means to be Canadian?
