Chong is demanding to know why he wasn't told about the potential threats.Raitt says the Trudeau government is losing all credibility on this file.Also:To use a Dana Bash expression, will the Donald Trump Townhall on CNN be anything more than a "Shit Show"?And Canada's international economic clout is in freefall at a time when we need to be building back better as we emerge from the pandemic. Raitt co-Chairs the Coalition for a Better Future and the group's latest report says labour productivity, an uncertain climate transition, risks around fiscal sustainability and a lack of global competitiveness are challenges for the Canadian economy.
