About this listen

U.S. Ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra tells Power & Politics that stopping the digital services tax returned Canada to the 'front of the line' for U.S. negotiations, and says he has a 'strong belief' Carney can get Parliament to allow concessions on supply management despite a new law that aims to prevent exactly that. Plus, Canadian Identity and Culture Minister Steven Guilbeault accuses Alberta Premier Danielle Smith of being both a 'pyromaniac' and 'firefighter' for separatism, both claiming to be putting out the sentiment and adding fuel.
