What now for Canada?

Business Daily

Available for over a year

After Justin Trudeau resigned as prime minister last month, what does the in-tray look like for Canada’s next leader? The country is facing a major challenge from new US president Donald Trump who introduced 25% tariffs on Canadian exports - now postponed for 30 days - and is even questioning the country's identity. But Canada also has a list of problems to address from within, such as rising property costs and new rules on immigration. We find out how people are feeling – and what happens next. Produced by Megan Lawton Presented by Sam Gruet (Image: Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announcing his resignation during a news conference in Ottowa, Canada on 6 January 2025.
