If Republicans lose the midterms, could Trump blame Canada?

American voters head to the polls on Tuesday for pivotal midterm elections — and Canadian tariffs have become a key issue in battleground states. But is the spotlight good for Canada?

Guest host J.P. Tasker speaks to former American diplomat Scotty Greenwood, former Trump advisor John Bolton, former Democratic state senator Emily Cain, Republican political strategist Dennis Lennox, Bloomberg reporter Josh Wingrove and Globe and Mail columnist Lawrence Martin about how big a role Canada is playing in these races, and the risk of Trump's wrath if he loses.

Plus, EU and Canadian officials meet in Montreal to begin negotiating a new alliance, how important is this new relationship? Historian and former Liberal leader, Michael Ignatieff is now based in Vienna. He talks about why this new chapter between Canada and the EU is about sovereignty and survival.

And, after 17 years, former broadcaster, diplomat and senator Pamela Wallin is leaving the Red Chamber. She joins The House to discuss her departure, the Trump administration and how Mark Carney is handling the American president.
