Erin O'Toole & Sam Cooper

Erin O'Toole & Sam Cooper

As Canada faces an economic (and existential!) threat from the United States, This is VANCOLOUR host Mo Amir asks former Conservative Party of Canada leader Erin O'Toole whether now is the time to freak out. What should Canada's federal government and provincial governments be doing to strengthen their position with the Americans in trade negotiations? Plus, is drug trafficking out of Canada really as bad as the Americans say it is? Investigative journalist Sam Cooper (The Bureau) explains what we know about Canada's illicit drug production and exportation: Is Canada a 'fentanyl problem' for the rest of the world? Will Canada's newly appointed "Fentanyl Czar" satisfy the Americans? And will the Fentanyl Czar actually crack down on organized crime?
