What Canada risks in the China EV deal

Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer discuss Prime Minister Carney's controversial trade deal with China, in which China lowers canola tariffs in exchange for Canada opening its market to Chinese EVs. They examine the political risks of this dramatic reversal from Canada's Indo-Pacific strategy, potential consequences for U.S. relations and CUSMA renegotiations, and concerns about deepening ties with an authoritarian regime. In the second half, they are joined by Stephen Staley to discuss The Hub's Fault Lines initiative to actively confront rising antisemitism and threats to Canadian pluralism.
