U.S. President Donald Trump announced he was slapping tariffs on Canada this week, and the federal government — along provincial premiers — responded. This week on “It's Political,” Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly joins Althia for an in-depth interview during the ongoing trade war with the United States. Joly talks about the hectic week which saw Trump impose 25% tariffs on Canadian goods, negotiating with an unpredictable administration, and how Canada is preparing for a future with a more hostile American neighbour. But tariffs are just one part of a larger shift in American foreign policy under Trump. Since assuming office, the U.S. president has repeatedly threatened to annex countries, including Canada. He has battled publicly with historic allies, such as Ukraine, and become friendlier with Russia. What does this shift in American policy represent for the rules-based international order the U.S. itself sought to establish?  Two foreign affairs specialists weigh in on that.  In this episode: Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly. Raquel Garbers, a visiting executive at the Centre for International Governance Innovation and principal architect of Canada's defence policy, “Our North, Strong and Free” and Roland Paris, the director of the Graduate School of Public and International Affairs at the University of Ottawa. Hosted by Althia Raj. Some of the clips this week were sourced from C-SPAN, CPAC, the Canadian Press Gallery, CBC, CNN, Global news, NBC, CBS, Fox, BBC, Sky News, and Emmanuel Macron's X account.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called the U.S. president's imposition of 25 per cent tariffs on Canadian goods 'very dumb,' enacted retaliatory tariffs and said Donald Trump is trying to 'collapse' Canada's economy to 'make it easier to annex us.' Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly agrees with that 'far-fetched' and 'so absurd' reality. She says Canada has had 'enough' of negotiations where the U.S. is making vast demands. Plus, Vermont Sen. Peter Welch, Minnesota Rep. Betty McCollum, New Brunswick Premier Susan Holt and the Power Panel react. 

Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly takes part in a discussion on Canada–US. Relations hosted by the Vancouver Board of Trade.

In Ottawa, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre lays out his proposals for bolstering Canada's economy amid the threat of U.S. tariffs, which President Donald Trump has said may now come into effect on March 4. Poilievre also takes aim at Mark Carney, accusing the Liberal leadership frontrunner of lying about his role in moving Brookfield Asset Management's headquarters from Toronto to New York. Responding to questions from reporters, Poilievre comments on the recent Oval Office meeting between President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. As Friday ended, we all got word of a fight that happened in the Oval Office, in the White House, and it was captured live on American television. It was properly broadcasted on the White House YouTube channel, Mr. Zielinski was defending himself against bullies in the Trump administration. It kind of all started with, sadly, with some blogger commenting Mr. Zinsky wasn't wearing a suit. Pretty certain that the person commenting why he doesn't wear a suit was planted there by Mr. Trump to demean Mr. Zelensky and demean him as a leader.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/policy-and-rights--3339563/support.

We get reaction from Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs Minister Mícheál Martin.

On Friday, the International Court of Justice ruled that Israel has to take all measures within its power to prevent acts of genocide. In response, Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly only noted that the ICJ “ delivered its response” and didn't express support for the ruling or calling on Israel to comply with its legally binding provisions to prevent genocide against Palestinians. Canada's complicated relationship with the crime of genocide is the subject of a recent article by law prof Heidi Matthews. We spoke with her two days before the ICJ ruling came out.

Last week, at the International Court of Justice in The Hague, the Jewish State was accused of committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza, in a case launched by South Africa. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly both gave oddly confusing statements, in which they said Canada's support for international law “does not mean” they support South Africa's accusations. Onlookers were confused by the phrasing—and even federal government staffers didn't know what to make of it. It took a few days before a statement by Global Affairs Canada confirmed that the country will, in fact, abide by whatever the ICJ rules. But Israel is vehemently defending itself on the international stage, with its barristers at The Hague describing South Africa's case a “libel” designed to prevent Israel's right to defend itself from Hamas after Oct. 7, 2023. That's the big takeaway for legal expert Tamara Kronis, a Canadian human rights lawyer who has worked in The Hague on other genocide cases. On The CJN Daily, Kronis walks us through the inner workings of this important court, what's likely to happen and what it means if Israel loses.
