Prime Minister Mark Carney has announced billions of dollars in
funding and a new Buy Canadian policy to help Canadians fight
back against the U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs. Does that
mean we’re in it for the long haul with this trade war? Industry
Minister Mélanie Joly joins The House to answer that question and
more about whether Canada is straying away from international
free trade.

Then, as Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre demands the federal
government axe the temporary foreign worker program, Catherine
Cullen speaks to industry leaders and an immigration lawyer about
the impact this proposal could have.

Plus, the Public Health Agency of Canada is shaving roughly 10
per cent of its employees as it continues to shrink in the wake
of the COVID-19 pandemic. Globe and Mail health columnist André
Picard explains what those cuts will mean for Canada’s ability to
counter vaccine misinformation as skepticism rises in Canada and
the United States.

Finally, some of Canada’s NATO allies have been preparing their
citizens for war or natural disasters for decades. Alex Wilner,
director of Carleton University’s Infrastructure Protection and
International Security program and Eva Cohen of Civil Protection
Youth Canada join the show to discuss whether Canada too should
ask ordinary citizens to be ready to help in the event of
everything from weather-related emergencies to terror attacks.

Mélanie Joly, Minister of Industry

Kelly Higginson, CEO of Restaurants Canada

Gabriel Miller, CEO of Universities Canada

Mark Holthe, immigration lawyer
