Publisher Rudyard Griffiths and editor-at-large Sean Speer discuss President Trump’s online post that he’s halting trade talks with the Carney government over its digital services tax and its economic and political implications. They also cover some big developments in Canadian immigration policy, including Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre’s comments in an exclusive Hub interview, that he supports a policy of net population decline for a time period.
