WATCH: The West Block primer looks at how a cancelled ferry terminal upgrade illustrates the sad state of Canada – U.S. relations
To understand the bigger picture of Canada – U.S. relations sometimes you need to look at the smaller picture.
Cast your eye on the ferry terminal in Prince Rupert, B.C.
Last week, Alaska cancelled bids for an upgrade that the Canadian government threatened to block because of a dispute over the use of American steel.
Watch our primer above to understand how the issue unfolded.
On Sunday, Tom Clark will talk to former U.S. Ambassador to Canada, Gordon Giffin about who’s at fault and how we can patch things up.
You can watch The West Block with Tom Clark on Global at:
11 a.m. in Ontario, Quebec, Manitoba and Saskatchewan
12 p.m. in the Atlantic provinces
10 a.m. in Alberta and B.C.
The show is repeated 10:30 p.m. in Winnipeg, Regina and Saskatoon, and 11:30 p.m. everywhere else.
