Summary

Trudeau and Trump will be talking Monday. Word of that major development comes as the trade war involving the U.S., Canada, Mexico and China ramps up before it even starts. The Prime Minister has announced a long list of 25 per cent tariffs on American imports as a reaction to the Trump Administration’s tariff assault. A number of B.C. businesses have joined in supporting Premier David Eby in his ban on U.S. based companies doing business in the province and his ban on booze from Republican-led states. Meanwhile, hockey fans at Rogers Arena booed the U.S. national anthem before the Canucks-Red Wings game.
