Earlier this week, a trade war broke about between the US and Canada. But the EU, a more Canada-aligned ally, appears to have a pretty muted response so far. So, in this video, we’re taking a look at the escalating US-Canada trade war, how it’s pushing Canada towards the EU and how the EU is responding.

So we supported the channel for it to grow by subscribing, liking and watching ads, recommended it to other, and now you are putting most of your contents behind a pay wall.
Of course it is your business and you have to do what is best for it, but it does like you are deserting you original supporters.

So with the added things in it. It has become the closest thing to a regular tv news show. with the only real difference is that the briefing and slightly bigger item are switched. Does that mean the next step is to have someone cover the weather? 😉
