Doug Ford imposed an electricity surcharge on Monday, Donald Trump responded with doubling the tariffs on steel and aluminum, and then they called the whole thing off. Steve Paikin and John Michael McGrath examine a chaotic week in Canada and United States trade relations.
Doug Ford's team at Queen's Park is going to look a lot like the old team with few MPPs losing their seats during the last election. The government will also deliver a full budget, and Steve and John Michael speculate what might be in that.
The Supreme Court of Canada struck down Doug Ford's third party election spending law, which is a win for unions and civil society groups. Will the government use the notwithstanding clause to get it passed? Or will they drop this altogether?
