Ontario vs Alberta & Saskatchewan: How Should Canada Respond To Trump?
Description
Canada's premiers are divided over how to fight back in the escalating trade war with the United States.
Hear from Ontario Premier Doug Ford, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, and Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe as two very different strategies emerge. Ford wants Canada to use its economic leverage and take the fight directly to President Trump. Smith and Moe are warning against restricting or taxing Canadian oil and potash exports, arguing that doing so could cost Canadian jobs and cause enormous damage here at home.
Plus, hear from Peter Navarro and U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, who continue to argue that Canada walked away from trade negotiations for political reasons.
There are two sides to this story, and this episode gives you the opportunity to hear the arguments for yourself.
Which strategy will work? And which one do you agree with?
