As Canada seeks to land a trade deal with the United States,
cracks began to emerge this week over whether some sectors — and
corresponding provinces — are getting more attention than others.
David Paterson, Ontario’s representative in Washington, joins the
show to discuss whether Ottawa is too focused on Canada’s auto
industry as B.C., Saskatchewan and Manitoba ask for more help
with their lumber and canola sectors.

Plus, while the trade war continues to bubble, Prime Minister
Mark Carney is attempting a plan to get tougher on crime — and
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has called RCMP leadership
“despicable.” Political strategists Kate Harrison, Marci Surkes
and Jordan Leichnitz join The House to dig into some of the
biggest headlines of the week.

Then, Catherine Cullen speaks with former Vancouver mayor Larry
Campbell, who’s been tapped by the B.C. government to improve the
city’s Downtown Eastside amid ongoing complex problems
surrounding drugs, crime and homelessness.

And: even with cuts to government spending on the horizon, Carney
says he’s making the Trudeau-era National School Food Program
permanent. Debbie Field, national coordinator for Coalition for
Healthy School Food, discusses the state of the program and
whether the funding is still far from hitting the mark.

This episode features the voices of:

David Paterson, Ontario’s representative in Washington, D.C.

Kate Harrison, Conservative strategist and vice chair at
Summa Strategies

Marci Surkes, former senior advisor to Justin Trudeau and
chief strategy officer at Compass Rose

Jordan Leichnitz, NDP strategist and Canada Director at the
Friedrich Ebert Foundation

Eastside
