Canada got a temporary reprieve from Donald Trump’s tariffs, but
the fight is far from over — and may be more existential than we
thought. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau now says the U.S.
president’s threat to turn Canada into the 51st state ‘is a real
thing.’

Public Safety Minister David McGuinty, joins The House to discuss
if Trump is actually a threat to Canadian sovereignty and whether
Canada’s new border measures — including a “fentanyl czar” — are
enough to appease Trump.

Then, with all the chaos coming out of the United States right
now, is there even a playbook for Canadian leaders to follow
anymore? How should political parties adjust as Parliament
remains prorogued? Two former key staffers weigh in on how
politicians can respond to Washington whiplash.

Plus, Trump’s tariff threats are getting Canadians officials to
reexamine Canada’s economy, including whether to revive
discussions on building a west-east oil pipeline. A CBC
provincial affairs reporter in New Brunswick explains the history
of the failed Energy East pipeline and whether it could be
brought back to life.

Finally, world leaders will gather in France next week to discuss
taking action on risks associated with AI — including the threat
of disinformation. A Finnish scholar stops by the studio to share
his experience monitoring and combatting disinformation next door
to Russia.
