Canada-U.S. Relations
My Work
I am hosting an ongoing series of short chats on Canada-US relations with a focus on current trade and diplomatic issues. For around 20 minutes I talk with experts and practitioners about the consequences and implications for Canada of the changing nature of our relationship with the USA, and the possible ways in which we can respond to these developments.
Episode 1: Dr. Laura Dawson, Executive Director, Future Borders Coalition
Episode 3: Sean Strickland, Executive Director, Canada's Building Trades Unions
Panel Discussion on Canada-U.S. Tariffs
The Progressive Senate Group hosted a panel discussion of experts from different economic sectors. This discussion focused on the economic and strategic challenges and potential solutions for Canada in the face of President Trump’s proposed tariffs and the changing dynamics of Canada-U.S. trade relations.
