Canada Hits Back: $28B in U.S. Goods Tariffed // Remembering Dolly Parton

Canada is hitting back at Donald Trump with $27.6 billion worth of tariffs on American goods, but will the counter-punch actually change Washington’s approach or just make a bad trade war worse? Rob Breakenridge joins in our feature interview (4:00) presented by Mercedes-Benz Edmonton West to unpack Canada’s strategy, who ultimately pays the price, and what comes next in this increasingly bitter fight.
