Canadian labour amid Trump's attack and Carney's investor agenda

Bea Bruske, president of the Canadian Labour Congress, joins Left East to West to talk about the trade war that President Trump has declared on Canadians and about Prime Minister Carney's investor agenda. Bea tells us workers are worried about the impact of Trump's attack on them, but also expresses labour's concern that Carney's investor agenda will limit worker rights and privatize key public infrastructure.

Also, Nikki gives us the latest on the BC Conservatives' turmoil and the likelihood of Premier David Eby calling a snap election. Tom looks at the European far-right, its supporters in Premier Danielle Smith's office and their shared focus on taking away rights and benefits from immigrants or temporary workers.
