It was all going well — until it wasn’t. On Friday afternoon,
U.S. President Donald Trump announced he was ending all trade
discussions with Canada and blamed the federal government’s
digital services tax, set to take effect June 30. So what now?
Former deputy prime minister John Manley joins The House to
discuss what Ottawa can do next.

After that, as federal parties hit the summer barbecue circuit
and prepare for the fall session of Parliament, Liberal
strategist Marci Surkes, Conservative strategist Kate Harrison
and NDP strategist George Soule reflect on what’s changed for
their parties and look at the political road ahead.

Plus, some disabled Canadians will be able to receive up to $200
a month from the new Canada Disability Benefit — but not everyone
qualifies. B.C. resident Shauna Milne explains how she tries to
make ends meet. Then Heather McCain, Executive Director of Live
Educate Transform Society, weighs in on how Ottawa can make it
easier to apply for the benefit.

Finally, Catherine Cullen asks politicians about the best
political advice they’ve ever received and hears a wide range of
tips and tricks. For starters: don’t eat the free cookies.
