Sat, Oct 27, 2018
On this Sunday, the federal government introduces a carbon tax against four provinces Ottawa says have failed to produce a plan of their own to reduce emissions. A plan already under fire as the business community says it will hurt Canadian competitiveness. We'll put this to the finance minister. Then, a rare show of unity in the House of Commons, as MPs vote in favor of a national strategy to deal with returning ISIS fighters, but will the government follow through? And, a conversation with New Zealand's trade minister about the WTO getting rid of supply management and their 10-year free trade deal with China.

Sat, Dec 08, 2018
On this Sunday, the prime minister and the premiers facing off: sparks fly as Ottawa's agenda is sidelined. Can Trudeau get the premiers back on track? The prime minister's point man on the provinces is here. And from threats of a walkout to the controversy over the carbon tax and oil, is it all political drama? Or are the complaints legitimate? We'll ask one of the premiers. And, the arrest heard around the world. Canada puts the queen of Chinese tech behind bars. Will China strike back over Huawei?
