What's different about the Canada/U.S. trade talks this time around?

Update: 2025-08-28

Description

Here we go again.

Trade talks between Canada and the US are back on following a lengthy pause between the two sides. Our Canada-US Trade Minister flew down to Washington this week to resume negotiations. Canada dropped many retaliatory tariffs in order to get everyone back to the bargaining table.

So what now, and will Canada be able to achieve what other countries can’t on sectoral tariffs?

Host Cormac Mac Sweeney dives deeper into the latest round of trade talks with lawyer William Pellerin of McMillan LLP.
