Episode Synopsis

Prime Minister Mark Carney paid a visit to Washington, D.C., and met with U.S. President Donald Trump to discuss the ongoing trade war. Trump said Canada will walk away from the meeting "very happy." Douglas College political scientist Jovian Radheshwar joins the show to analyze what came out of the two leaders' meeting as we ask viewers if they think B.C. is benefiting from these talks. There was no mention of the forestry sector at the Oval Office news conference, as Canadian softwood lumber faces a 35 per cent duty, with another 10 per cent being added on Oct. 14. John Brink, president and CEO of Brink Forest Products in Prince George, discusses B.C.'s stakes in the Canada-U.S. trade negotiations.
