About this episode

BC Premier David Eby discusses Indigenous rights law and trade negotiations with the US, while the U.K. Parliament passes a significant tobacco bill.

BC Premier David Eby joins us to discuss DRIPA. He says he's backing away from plans to suspend or change parts of the Indigenous rights law, but what comes next? Prime Minister Mark Carney says Canada will not make any concessions just to start trade talks with the US. Is this a sign of rough negotiations ahead? The U.K. Parliament has passed a bill that will permanently outlaw sales of tobacco products, including cigarettes, to anyone born on or after Jan. 1, 2009. Learn more about your ad choices.
