Publisher Rudyard Griffiths and editor-at-large Sean Speer discuss President Trump's letter to Prime Minister Mark Carney that threatens 35 percent tariffs on Canadian exports to the United States, including what it means for the ongoing trade negotiations and how the Carney government should respond. On the back half of the show, they cover the growing calls for the Carney government to raise taxes in order to fund its spending promises and avoid massive budget deficits.
