The secondary nugget is all about the economy, and Canada’s complicated relationship with the United States. In a nutshell, if the two sides can’t reach a trade deal by July 21st, Mark Carney has a series of countermeasures up his sleeve.

Here to explain further is Dr. Florence Dzierszinski, the President and CEO of The Royal’s Research Institute.
