The ups and downs of a shifting relationship with China

As It Happens

About this episode

Prime Minister Carney strikes a deal on Canadian canola exports with China; I’ll speak with an Alberta farmer who’s feeling cautiously optimistic -- after losing six figures to the trade war. 


Canadian auto industry leaders are feeling incautiously pessimistic about a new deal with China, saying a promise to import Chinese-made EVs puts the domestic auto sector on the road to ruin.


Hearing the other side from the other side. Our guest says he was talking to Ugandan opposition leader Bobi Wine just moments before security forces took him away -- further evidence, he says, that the presidential election was rigged from the start. 


A CBC journalist is heading to Italy -- not to cover the Olympics, but to cover the skis of Canadian biathlon athletes with wax; to make sure everything, and everyone, goes smoothly. 


A reporter in Florida is being criticized for commiserating with the local NFL coach after a huge loss, instead of questioning him. 


In one Swedish community, it's an annual tradition for authorities to dismantle a particular sculpture chop-chop -- because it’s a giant, distracting snow penis in the center of a roundabout.
