It was assumed that when the US pulled out of the TPP last January, the bill would be dead, but it has been quietly resurrected by 11 other signatories including Canada. Would Canada fare better with the TPP deal without the US in it? ALSO: Canada and the EU trade enters a new era as CETA becomes enforced.

We’ve spoken before on this show in regards to scams, most recently the traffic email scam. Scott last night was on the receiving end of a traffic ticket phone message that was left on his machine. It was the same guy from the CRA scam last year! How vigilant do residents need to be when it comes to these scam callers?
