Did Trump bring peace to the Middle East?

In this episode of On The Line, Jen Gerson speaks to Vivian Bercovici, former Canadian ambassador to Israel, appointed by Stephen Harper. They talk about the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas -- and how long it will last; the role Donald Trump played in bringing it about. And, for a Canadian audience, the role Prime Minister Mark Carney did not play, though he showed up for the photo op in Egypt. This episode of the On The Line Podcast is brought to you by Forestry For The Future. Canadian forestry supports 200,000 workers, generates $87 billion in annual revenue, contributes $21 billion annually to our nation’s economy, and provides the products we need to build homes and drive economic growth. While trade barriers from the U.S. are siphoning jobs and investment away, Canada’s own approval processes and regulations are preventing critical projects that both prevent wildfires and boost our economic self-reliance.We can and should have programs that expand domestic wood use, advance biomass use and pulp market opportunities, and cut red tape and regulatory barriers. The government of Canada has a clear opportunity to stand up for Canadian forestry at a time of growing global uncertainty. We need real action that puts Canadians first — supporting employees and their families, securing stability for our businesses, and protecting the long-term potential of our sector and its people.
