U.S. MIDTERMS | What comes next after Democrats win control of Congress?

The election results are American; the trade questions reach into Canada. CBC News's post-midterm special moves from Democratic celebrations in Michigan and Texas to an Ottawa discussion of tariffs and Canada-U.S. relations, with Rosemary Barton and former ambassador Kirsten Hillman.

That cross-border discussion adds a Canadian perspective to the congressional results we reported here earlier. David Common hosts from Detroit, while Mark Carcasole reports from Washington on the prospect of congressional investigations and the limits Democrats will face with Donald Trump still in the White House.

Trump signals that he intends to use those limits. "It's the power of veto, it's one of the stronger powers that a president has," he says in the phone interview played during CBC's coverage. Asked whether he accepts the results, he answers: "Yeah, sure, I'll accept them. Why wouldn't I?"

The broadcast also follows the Democratic breakthrough in Texas, where journalist Steve Futterman reports from Austin and voters celebrate James Talarico's Senate victory. At roughly eighteen minutes, the focus shifts north: Barton and the panel examine the implications for Canada's trade relationship with a Washington whose balance of power has changed.
