Friday Focus: another tariff announcement and Bibi scores a political victory

Rudyard and Janice open the show with Trump’s announcement of auto tariffs which, coupled with the tariffs on steel and aluminum, could cripple the Canadian car sector. Instead of doubling down on a dying industry that is bound to the US, why not invest in an industry like mining that we export to the rest of the world? In the second half of the show Rudyard and Janice turn their attention to Israel, where a budget victory for Bibi has bought him 18 months until the next election. Can he free himself from the right-wing ideologues in his coalition? Or will this new sense of security galvanize him to continue prosecuting the war in Gaza?
