Canada "Going to War" with the U.S.

"You're at war when you get attacked. We were attacked." That from Prime Minister Mark Carney after negotiations collapse between Canada and the U.S. The two nations are now staring down a full-blown trade war, with 50 per cent tariffs, retaliation, and a whole lot of uncertainty on the table. Supriya Dwivedi joins in our feature interview presented by Mercedes-Benz Edmonton West to unpack what happened, whether Carney was right to walk away, and what this could mean for Canadian workers, businesses, and our relationship with the Americans.
