Once again, Canada finds itself in a deep hole in its push to get
a trade deal with U.S. President Donald Trump. This time, an
advertisement by Ontario that used Ronald Reagan’s own words
criticizing tariffs annoyed Trump so much he cut off negotiations
entirely. Derek Burney, who worked with former prime minister
Brian Mulroney as he hammered out a Canada-U.S. free trade deal
with Reagan, weighs in on the latest upset, then Tonda MacCharles
of the Toronto Star and Stuart Thomson of the National Post
discuss where this leaves Canada now.

Then, Michael Kovrig, the former diplomat who spent more than
1,000 days detained by China, tells host Catherine Cullen how he
feels about Canada’s growing “strategic partnership” with Beijing
and what advice he’d offer the Prime Minister before meeting
China’s president.

Plus, the government is adjusting the rules around bail again,
making it harder for some repeat offenders and those charged with
serious offences to be released. A victim’s family and a criminal
defence lawyer weigh in, and Justice Minister Sean Fraser defends
the new legislation.

Finally, as Liberals and Conservatives spar over what continues
to drive up food costs, economist Christina Caron argues it’s not
price gouging or the industrial carbon tax — it’s climate change
that’s costing you more at the grocery store.
