It’s nice to see people getting passionate about public broadcasting, but what went on this past weekend was something else. Some Canadians were losing their minds over a CBC call-in show.
Cross Country Checkup, hosted by Ian Hanomansing, teamed up with U.S. radio show The Middle to simulcast a live two-hour show on CBC, NPR stations and C-SPAN. The idea was to hear from listeners on both sides of the border about U.S. President Donald Trump’s offensive comments regarding his desire to see Canada become the 51st state.
Donald Trump says Mexico, Canada tariffs now set for April 2
U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday said stiff new tariffs on imports from Mexico and Canada would take effect on April 2, about a month later than an earlier deadline for the levies to take effect.
Trump’s remark came during his first cabinet meeting.
Earlier this month the administration had set March 4 as the effective date for 25% duties on goods from Mexico and non-energy goods from Canada.
