Shifting Perspectives: Economics vs. Environment in Canadian Pipeline Debate

In the face of a possible trade war, Canadians are increasingly supportive of plans to reduce our reliance on the U.S. as a trading partner.  

That includes politically sensitive industries, like oil and gas and politically sensitive projects like pipelines.

 Host David Smith speaks with Jon Roe, research associate with the Angus Reid Institute, about this latest shift in public opinion in response to the U.S. tariff threat.
