U.S. President Donald Trump announced 125 per cent tariffs on China and a sudden 90-day pause for new tariffs on other countries — with Canada unaffected. CBC's Katie Simpson and Peter Armstrong sort through the confusion after the U.S. treasury secretary erroneously said Canada would face broad 10 per cent tariffs, and the Power Panel grades Trump's trade and economic performance during this 'reciprocal tariff' saga. Plus, the co-leaders of the Green Party argue against a 'two-party binary choice' between the Liberals and Conservatives, and say that proposals for fossil fuel development with net-zero emissions progress are 'not possible.'

Canada is not on U.S. President Donald Trump's list of countries subject to 10 per cent ‘baseline' tariffs, but Trump says a separate 25 per cent levy on all foreign-made autos will hit at midnight on April 2. Power & Politics digs into Trump's 'Liberation Day' tariffs, with insights from Jean Charest, former Quebec premier and member of the Prime Minister's Canada-U.S. Council and Chuck Todd, American political analyst and former host of Meet the Press. And we have the latest from Washington with the CBC's Katie Simpson. 

Finance Minister Dominic LeBlanc says the 'bottom line' of the partial U.S. tariff delay to April 2 is that the 'vast majority' of Canadian goods can quickly comply with the CUSMA trade deal to qualify. LeBlanc says Canada will pause its second wave of counter-tariffs but keep the first in place, and Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew details how his province will continue to retaliate despite the reprieve. Plus, CBC's Rosemary Barton and Katie Simpson break down the latest on what this means for the broader trade war. 

CBC's Katie Simpson and Rosemary Barton break down how the Liberals are working the phones to get U.S. tariffs lifted, including a call between Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and U.S. President Donald Trump that sources say lasted 50 minutes. Plus, Bryan Barnett, the Republican mayor of Rochester Hills, Mich., describes how tariffs will harm the city and why he believes it will be difficult to keep unity among Republicans on the policy. 

In this episode of “Bruin to Bruin,” host Celina Landero Valenzuela sits down with student and singer-songwriter Katie Simpson to talk about her journey as an independent artist. Simpson shares insights into her creative process, the inspiration behind her upcoming album “Strangers, But Not Really,” and the balance between music and student life. She treats us to a special live performance of her song “Echolocation.”

We've been waiting weeks for this, and even now — we're still not exactly sure what to expect. But today, we may finally see U.S. President Donald Trump level punishing tariffs on Canada. The White House has told reporters tariffs are happening this weekend, and Trump himself has said there's nothing Canada can do to avoid them. One of CBC's foreign correspondents in Washington joins the program to unpack the details from the White House. We then hear from a Canada-U.S. expert about what's in store for both countries, and small businesses from both sides of the border share how they're bracing for impact.Plus, the final report from the public inquiry into foreign interference says there are no traitors in Parliament, but there are still concerns about threats to Canada's democracy. A national security expert sifts through the findings and an NDP MP details the questions she is left with.Finally, some Liberal leadership candidates are trotting out policy proposals while others are dropping out or being disqualified altogether. Two Hill watchers explain the latest in the contest.This episode features the voices of:Katie Simpson, CBC NewsLaura Dawson, Executive Director of the Canada-U.S. Future Borders CoalitionMaggie Ori, Frankor HydraulicsBill Butcher, Port City Brewing CompanyWesley Wark, senior fellow with the Centre for International Governance Innovation Jenny Kwan, NDP MP for Vancouver EastStuart Thomson, Parliamentary bureau chief for the National PostStephanie Levitz, senior politics reporter for The Globe and Mail

U.S. commerce secretary nominee Howard Lutnick is threatening two rounds of possible tariffs on Canada: emergency action on Feb. 1, and then wider-ranging measures in the spring. CBC senior foreign correspondent Katie Simpson reports the latest from Washington. Plus, Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Andrew Furey breaks down the discussions on Canada's negotiating strategy after another meeting of the premiers and prime minister. 

With just under two weeks until he re-takes the Oval Office, U.S. president-elect Donald Trump has outlined a mind-map of sorts to, as he says, “make Canada the 51st American state.”He has referred to the border separating Canada and the U.S. as an “artificial line,” called Justin Trudeau Canada's “Governor” and said Canada would “dissolve” without U.S. assistance.At the same time, he's not ruling out forcibly incorporating the territory of Greenland into the U.S. and seizing control of the Panama Canal, a crucial shipping route.Threat, negotiation tactic, or meaningless bluster? CBC Washington correspondent Katie Simpson unpacks where it's all coming from.For transcripts of Front Burner, please visit: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/frontburner/transcripts

The Police Ombudsman says the PSNI investigation into the death of Katie Simpson was “flawed and failed her family”. The 21-year-old died in hospital a week after an incident where her sister's partner, Jonathan Creswell, claimed to have found her mid-suicide attempt. In reality, he had repeatedly attacked her. Police failed to question Katie's death, despite Creswell's violent history and physical signs of abuse on her body. He was later charged with her murder but took his life one day into the trial earlier this year. Ciarán Dunbar is joined by Allison Morris. Hosted on Acast.
