In the lead-up to Donald Trump’s return to the White House, he has escalated his taunts and economic threats against Canada. How can Canada prepare for the potential upending of a trade relationship that is the backbone of its economy? To help sort through this we’ve gathered one of our all-star panels: Marta Morgan, former deputy minister of foreign affairs, Peter Loewen, the dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at Cornell University, and Mark Cameron, a former director of policy and research in the prime minister’s office. They discuss Canada’s challenges, missteps and the odds we’ll have new tariffs on Day 1 of Trump’s second term.
