The clock ticks down on Trump’s tariffs

We’ve been waiting weeks for this, and even now — we’re still not
exactly sure what to expect. But today, we may finally see U.S.
President Donald Trump level punishing tariffs on Canada. The
White House has told reporters tariffs are happening this
weekend, and Trump himself has said there’s nothing Canada can do
to avoid them.

One of CBC’s foreign correspondents in Washington joins the
program to unpack the details from the White House. We then hear
from a Canada-U.S. expert about what’s in store for both
countries, and small businesses from both sides of the border
share how they’re bracing for impact.

Plus, the final report from the public inquiry into foreign
interference says there are no traitors in Parliament, but there
are still concerns about threats to Canada’s democracy. A
national security expert sifts through the findings and an NDP MP
details the questions she is left with.

Finally, some Liberal leadership candidates are trotting out
policy proposals while others are dropping out or being
disqualified altogether. Two Hill watchers explain the latest in
the contest.
