For the first time as Canada’s Prime Minister, Mark Carney has visited the White House. He’s had multiple conversations over the phone with U.S. President Donald Trump. Today, they met in person to address a few things. And in the middle of a testy trade war, these dialogues are more important than ever. How do you think Canada’s Prime Minister handled himself today? Lawrence Herman, a former Canadian diplomat, joins Kristy Cameron in Hour 3. Then, we sift through the CFRA textboard for your feedback, as Kristy tackles today’s Question of the Day. Meantime, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith plans to hold a referendum on provincial separation in 2026. That is, if citizens assemble a petition and gather the required signatures. We examine the potential ripple effects with Ross Hickey, an Associate Professor of Economics at UBC’s Okanagan Campus in Kelowna.
