Trump dumps on Canadian trade as Carney lands in China. Plus: It’s official, the CAQ is in last place.

from The Big Five Podcast · host CJAD 800

Elias Makos is joined by Raphaël Melançon, political analyst for CTV Montreal and CJAD 800, columnist for the Montreal Gazette, and president and founder of Trafalgar Strategies, and Trudie Mason, veteran Newscaster here at CJAD 800. U.S. President Donald Trump visited a Ford factory in Dearborn, Michigan on Tuesday, and dismissed the relevance of the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement, saying the U.S. doesn’t need the trade deal and that “Canada would love it.”  A new Leger poll says nearly one in three Canadians are afraid that the U.S will invade Canada. As per an Op-Ed in the Toronto Star, are the Canadians that continue to move their start-up companies to the U.S., or go to school in the U.S., or vacation in the U.S. bordering on treason? As Mark Carney lands in China, state media in that country is urging Canada to break free from “U.S. influence.” Mario Roy is adamant: He is running for the Quebec Liberal Party leadership
