Canada’s trade battle with the United States is officially underway. But since it kicked off on Tuesday, there have been near-constant twists and turns as U.S. President Donald Trump switches up his motives, his tariffs and his exemptions for Canadian trade.
So how big a hit is Canada’s economy taking in this fight? Internal Trade Minister Anita Anand joins the program to discuss the federal government’s response and her work dismantling interprovincial trade barriers. Then, business owners share how they’re adjusting to the shifting economic climate. Plus the cross-border — and cross-party — married couple on how these tense times are playing out in their household.
Also, the Liberals will crown their new leader this Sunday after a six-week sprint. But with Trump’s tariffs looming large, what does the road look like for the winner? Two political watchers lay out what to keep an eye on as the leadership contest concludes and Canada’s next prime minister takes office.
Finally, CBC’s defence correspondent returns from Latvia, where Canadians were taking part in a military exercise. He describes what the mood is like in the small Baltic state and what’s keeping military commanders up at night.
