Episode Details

Canada’s trade talks with the U.S. have collapsed amid shocking new tariffs and political brinkmanship, as Washington imposes 50% duties on Canadian goods after claiming Canada backed out of a deal—only to reveal last-minute demands that would give the U.S. veto power over Canadian trade policy. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s alleged hostility toward Canada has further poisoned relations, forcing Canadian leaders like Premier Danielle Smith into a delicate balancing act while opposition parties urge restraint on separatist moves. Prime Minister Mark Carney bluntly calls the situation “economic war,” acknowledging Canada’s disadvantage against its giant neighbor. Yet, Canadians rally behind their government as they brace for a tough economic fight, even as the U.S. grapples with its own global challenges.
