Sky-high tariffs, a federal election and US threats to annex their country: Canadians have a lot of issues to address. Jonny Dymond hosts a debate with leading politicians and people putting questions from across six time zones. Should Canada have an independent nuclear deterrent? Can it join the EU? What about housing, immigration and the climate impact on Canada’s extraordinary environment? It’s a deeply felt discussion as some Canadians voice a sense of betrayal from their closest ally.The Panel: Heather McPherson: Foreign Affairs Spokesperson, New Democratic Party Stéphane Bergeron: Former Foreign Affairs and International Trade Spokesperson, Bloc Quebecois Kate Harrison: Conservative Strategist and Vice Chair of Summa Strategies Nathaniel Erskine-Smith: Minister of Housing, Liberal PartyPresenter: Jonny Dymond Producer: Charlie Taylor(Photo: Protest in Toronto against Donald Trump's rhetoric about Canada becoming the 51st state of the USA.
