Ashley Waters & Jeff Chesebrough are back on The Party Lines, tackling the biggest and most polarizing stories from both sides of the aisle. This week: Is Canada's trade war with the U.S. actually over? President Trump touts a deal "subject to the finalization of documents" while Canadian trade minister Dominic LeBlanc heads into talks but what are we giving up on dairy, lumber and supply management? Then, the Ontario PCs are accused of sending someone to Jamaica to spy on Liberal leader Bonnie Crombie on vacation is it dirty politics or just politics as usual? Plus, Trump's eyebrow-raising claim on the Strait of Hormuz, and Ottawa's massive $10 billion bet to expand Churchill Falls into one of the largest clean energy projects in Canadian history. All this and more, on this weeks episode of The Party Lines.
