She says the controversy raises serious questions about political honesty, media accountability and why Canadians appear willing to overlook broken promises.LeDrew and Ferreri also discuss stalled trade negotiations with Washington, Mexico’s ability to keep working with Donald Trump and the risks facing Canadian manufacturing.
