Free For All Friday - Hour 1 Amanda Galbraith breaks down the biggest stories of the day with Canada's top newsmakers. On today's show: It's been a full week since the U.S. struck Canada with 35 percent tariffs. We still don't have a new trade deal with the Trump administration. So where do we go from here? We pick the brain of David McLaughlin, a former Chief of Staff to former Prime Minister Brian Mulroney. Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre plans to pressure the Carney Liberals to implement the Canadian Sovereignty Act. What exactly does this act entail? Adam Chambers, the Conservative MP for Simcoe North, pays us a visit. Canadian teenage tennis star Victoria Mboko wins the National Bank Open in stunning fashion. How about those Toronto Blue Jays?! They steamrolled the Colorado Rockies in a 3-game series earlier this week, and are now preparing for a pair of measuring-stick matchups.

Today's edition features former Toronto Star editor Michael Cooke and Crestview Strategy Vice-President Deirdra Tindale. Topic 1: The latest developments on the Canada-U.S. trade war.

Should Prime Minister Carney remove counter-tariffs on US goods? Or should we fight back with more retaliatory tariffs? Ontario Premier Doug Ford is calling on Prime Minister Carney not to “roll over” and to hit back hard, even pushing for more counter‑tariffs and limiting U.S. electricity exports. Meanwhile, Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe urges a more cautious path: easing Canada's retaliatory tariffs to avoid making goods unaffordable for Canadians and instead focusing on internal trade reforms and infrastructure. In Episode 189, Bill breaks down why these provincial divisions matter and why Prime Minister Carney refuses to rush a trade deal, and why bold, strategic planning—not panic—is the key.Don't forget to like, follow and subscribe across our channels!

U.S. President Donald Trump wrote letters to over two dozen trading partners last week, threatening a fresh set of tariffs. Canada was among them and is now facing the possibility of 35% tariffs on all Canadian goods that don't comply with CUSMA, the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement, if a deal isn't reached by August 1st. Where do our negotiations with the Trump administration stand and how much worse could things get if these tariffs come into effect? What cards can Canada still play at the negotiating table? And what does Trump's ongoing tariff approach mean for the world? To help make sense of it all, we're joined by Eric Miller, trade analyst and president of Rideau Potomac Strategy Group. For transcripts of Front Burner, please visit: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/frontburner/transcripts.
When asked about the possibility of a deal with the U.S. that removes all tariffs, Prime Minister Mark Carney said there isn't much evidence of the U.S. making agreements without them. A member of the Prime Minister's Council on Canada-U.S. Relations, former Nova Scotia Premier Stephen McNeil, says that the question may be 'how big' and broad the tariffs on Canadian goods will be, and that Carney will negotiate a deal 'Canadians can live with.' Plus, Canadian Chamber of Commerce executive vice-president Matthew Holmes discusses what the prospect of continued tariffs means for Canadian businesses.

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 CanadaWesley Wark, senior fellow at the Centre for International Governance InnovationLt.-Gen.

Chief U.S. negotiator for the original NAFTA agreement, Carla A. Hills, says the president's threat of 35 per cent tariffs on Canadian goods on Aug. 1 is 'like shooting your sibling in the heart.' Prime Minister's Council on Canada-U.S. Relations member Arlene Dickinson argues the threat isn't a surprise, and that there's likely to be some level of tariffs even if a deal is reached. Plus, our political insiders discuss whether it's time to panic, or if the U.S. president's repeated reversals and the White House's clarification that CUSMA-compliant goods will still be exempt takes the sting out of the threat.

Canada-U.S. trade once again became the hottest topic in town after Donald Trump said he was walking away from the negotiating table over the federal government's digital services tax. Just a few days later, Prime Minister Mark Carney rescinded the tax. Was that a smart move? Two trade experts join The House, guest hosted by CBC's trade reporter Janyce McGregor, to discuss the retreat and the looming July 21 deadline for a deal.Plus, The House talks to cheesemakers at a festival in Kingston, Ont. about concerns Trump's tariff threat will spell the end of Canada's protection of its dairy industry. Then, a Saskatchewan cattle rancher explains why she's frustrated over a recently passed bill that protects that supply management system from Canada-U.S. trade talks.Next, as Canada's trade relationship with the U.S. remains uncertain, it needs other allies more than ever.

Thank you for your attention to this matter! https://twitter.com/disclosetv/status/1939522597550518357 If Canada had kept the Digital Services Tax (DST) in place, the financial and economic consequences would have been significant, primarily due to potential U.S. retaliation and disruptions to the Canada-U.S. trade relationship. Lost Tax Revenue vs. Retaliatory Tariffs: The DST was projected to generate approximately C$5.9 billion (about US$4.3 billion) over five years, or roughly C$1.2 billion (US$870 million) annually, according to Canada's 2024 federal budget However, U.S. President Donald Trump threatened to impose new tariffs on Canadian goods in response to the DST, which could have far exceeded the tax revenue. For context, Canada exports over US$400 billion in goods annually to the U.S., representing 75% of its total goods exports. If the U.S. imposed tariffs (e.g., 10-50% as suggested by Trump's April 2025 tariff levels), the cost to Canadian exporters could have ranged from US$40 billion to US$200 billion annually, depending on the tariff rate and scope. Specific sectors like automobiles, energy, steel, and aluminum (already facing 50% U.S. tariffs) would have been hit hardest, with ripple effects across supply chains. Increased Costs for Canadian Consumers and Businesses: The DST would have imposed a 3% tax on digital services revenue from Canadian users, affecting U.S. tech giants like Amazon, Google, Meta, and Apple. Some companies, like Google, had already introduced surcharges (e.g., a 2.5% “Canada DST Fee” on ads starting October 2024) to offset compliance costs, which would have raised prices for Canadian consumers and businesses reliant on digital services. Canadian business groups warned that these costs would be passed on, increasing the price of digital subscriptions, online marketing, and e-commerce. Economic Impact of Retaliation: The U.S. could have targeted Canadian pension funds and investments through retaliatory measures, as warned by the Canadian Chamber of Commerce. A trade war could have exacerbated Canada's economic slowdown, with unemployment already at 7% in 2025, potentially leading to job losses in export-dependent industries like manufacturing and energy. Sector-Specific Impacts: Automotive and Manufacturing: Tariffs on automobiles and parts would have disrupted integrated North American supply chains, increasing costs for Canadian manufacturers and potentially le...
