The looming threat of tariffs has Canada's premiers rolling up their sleeves. British Columbia Premier David Eby is calling for export bans on B.C. minerals as retaliation, while Alberta Premier Danielle Smith went alone to meet with U.S. president-elect Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago. Kwantlen Polytechnic University instructor Jeff Meyers joins the show as we ask viewers about the best approaches to Trump's tariff threats.

Neelam Sahota, CEO of DIVERSEcity, discusses the resources available as we ask new immigrants to tell us about their experiences.
