Guest: Star Queen’s Park Bureau Chief, Robert Benzie

Last week, Canada’s premiers wrapped up their annual Council of the Federation meeting in Ontario’s cottage country, against the backdrop of serious political and economic pressure. With Trump’s threat of tariffs on August 1 looming large, and Prime Minister Mark Carney facing his first major leadership test, the summit was framed as a show of strength and unity. But was that solidarity real behind the scenes? And how prepared are the provinces for an unpredictable trade fight with Trump?

Toronto Star Queen’s Park Bureau Chief Robert Benzie joins This Matters to break it all down.
