Election Promises and Political Dynamics in Canada

There is no end to the volatility and uncertainty in Washington. The U.S. president is now pledging new – even higher – tariffs on Chinese goods. He says he’s working to cut deals with other trading partners. At the same time, Donald Trump is being accused of manipulating the stock market.

And: Canada now has more measles cases this year than it’s had since the disease was declared eradicated in 1998. Ontario added 155 new measles cases in the past week, pushing Canada to more than 800 infections.

Also: Canadians are staying away from the U.S.. Travel across the border has dropped dramatically in the past two months. Anger at the tariffs, and fear of increased scrutiny at the border are two of the reasons people are choosing not to go.

Plus: Doctors say "brain drain" to the U.S. could become a Canadian "brain gain", campaign pledges, and more.
