Readers Want Answers on the Trade War
As the trade dispute between Canada and the United States drags on, CBC News says it has been fielding a steady stream of questions from readers, viewers and listeners. Chief among them: why hasn't Canada used the Welland Canal, a key shipping link between Lake Erie and Lake Ontario, as leverage to pressure Washington?
CBC has not detailed the specific answer in the material available, but the outlet says it is working through a broader batch of reader questions about how Canada could "turn up the heat" on the U.S. in the ongoing dispute.
