The West Block: December 5

This week on ‘The West Block’, host Mercedes Stephenson sits down with Transportation Minister Omar Alghabra to talk about why Canada has put in travel restrictions for the rest of the world outside the United States, while Canada is subject to American restrictions.

Finally, a new American ambassador has been appointed to Canada while we try to sort out a series of trade issues with our closest partner. The CEO of the Canadian American Business Council Maryscott Greenwood shares her insights.
