Carlo Dade, director of international policy at the University of Calgary’s School of Public Policy, says Canadians shouldn't expect much relief from Donald Trump's trade war despite Democrats taking control of both chambers of Congress. But could the president’s weakened political position offer Canada an opening to strike a deal? And at what cost?
Dade joins Alberta Edge to explain why any new trade agreement may be little more than a temporary truce, how U.S. negotiations with Mexico could threaten Western Canadian exports to China, and why the rise of a new socialist Left in American politics may force Canada to rethink its approach to Washington. Plus, he reveals a surprising personal connection to one of the DSA movement's newly elected members of Congress.
