Republicans Break with Trump Over Canada Tariffs | Your Morning
The tariff interview stood out. CTV Your Morning's segment on Republican opposition to Donald Trump's proposed tariffs on Canadian imports reached about 190,000 views in its first 13 hours, far beyond the show's usual first-day audience for a regular upload.
In "Republicans Break with Trump Over Canada Tariffs | Your Morning", Western University political science professor Matthew Lebo discusses how the trade dispute connects with the U.S. midterm elections. The segment's description points to Michigan Senate candidate Mike Rogers as an example of Republican pushback, saying he called for an end to the tariff rhetoric and described Canada as “not our enemy.”
The question at the center of the interview is larger than a disagreement within one party: how might a dispute with Canada affect key American races?
Your Morning also posted "Stelco Workers Would be Recalled if Trade Deal Reached | Your Morning" that day. That report brings the trade discussion back to Ontario steelworkers, describing a company executive's position that avoiding potential layoffs depends on a Canada-U.S. steel deal.
