Friday Focus: Trump doubles down & Canada prepares for tariffs
On this week’s Friday Focus, Rudyard and Janice start the show reacting to some of Trump’s most shocking announcements and executive orders since taking office on Monday. How is the opposition mobilizing to challenge these orders? Why has the reaction to these consequential decisions been so muted? In the second half of the show, Rudyard and Janice turn to the threat of tariffs on Canadian goods, which could come into effect as early as February 1. How can the Canadian auto and oil industries protect themselves from crushing tariffs? Rudyard thinks Canadian officials are overestimating their retaliatory options, while Janice is less pessimistic about what is coming.
