Inside Mark Carney's act of defiance

Entering an economic war isn't your typical Friday night activity.

But according to PM Mark Carney, it was necessary after the last 18 months of US President Trump.

Not only did Carney suspend all negotiations with the US, he also announced dollar-for-dollar retaliatory tariffs on US goods in response to the latest round of tariffs Trump placed on $28 billion worth of Canadian goods.  

Host Caryn Ceolin speaks to Lori Turnbull, political science professor from Dalhousie University to break down the latest update in the Canada-US trade war, what kind of response from Trump Canadians should expect, and how Canadians are interpreting Carney's act of defiance.
