Once again, U.S. President Donald Trump is threatening to slap
more tariffs on Canada — and Pierre Poilievre has thoughts. The
Conservative leader speaks with Catherine Cullen in his first
national English interview with CBC since becoming party leader
to discuss how he’d tackle the Canada-U.S. trade war differently
and why he thinks he deserves a second shot at holding a seat in
the House of Commons.

Then, national security expert Wesley Wark explains why Trump’s
latest move should elicit a bigger response from north of the
border.

Plus, the new head of the Royal Canadian Air Force, Lt.-Gen.
Jamie Speiser-Blanchet, tells The House her priorities for the
new role in a “volatile and uncertain” time.

Finally, as Prime Minister Mark Carney’s chief of staff and the
new Clerk of the Privy Council officially take the reins of the
federal government, Janice Charette, a former clerk who assisted
with the Carney transition, and Ian Brodie, former chief of staff
to Prime Minister Stephen Harper, lift the curtain on the
high-pressure roles and examine the challenges of executing the
prime minister’s ambitious agenda.

This episode features the voices of:

Pierre Poilievre, leader of the Conservative Party of Canada

Wesley Wark, senior fellow at the Centre for International
Governance Innovation

Lt.-Gen. Jamie Speiser-Blanchet, commander of the Royal
Canadian Air Force

Janice Charette, former Clerk of the Privy Council

Ian Brodie, former chief of staff to Prime Minister Stephen
