The 30-day countdown is on - how Canadian businesses and consumers are impacted by an impending trade war, Why did Donald Trump push pause on tariff implementations? & The perfect 'furry' match for Valentines Day

WELCOME TO THE MWSA PODCAST FOR TUESDAY, FEB. 04th   With the threat of 25% Tariffs on American goods ‘off the table’ for 30-days – where do we go from here – and what does this mean for Canadian businesses and consumers with a potential ‘trade war’ still in the conversation? We get the thoughts of Mercedes Stephenson - Global News Ottawa Bureau Chief & Host of “The West Block”. Next – we continue our ‘tariff talk’ with Gary Mar – President and CEO of the Canada West Foundation. We get Mr. Mar’s thoughts on why President Trump pushed the ‘pause button’ on implementing the Tariffs this week – and what we can do as a country to lessen the impact of a looming ‘trade war’ – with our biggest trade partner. And finally - as Valentine’s Day approaches, Canadians are celebrating the idea of finding their “perfect match.” But….in this unique case – that ‘match’, comes with 4 legs! We speak with Gary Hiney – a Red Deer man suffering from vision loss – about the “Lions Foundation of Canada Dog Guides”. We hear about the important service they provide – and get details on how YOU can make a difference, and lend a hand to someone in need of a Guide Dog.
