In our pilot episode, we speak with Maryscott (Scotty) Greenwood of the Canadian American Business Council (CABC) about the Canada-US relationship, including concerns of  growing protectionist sentiments and President Obama’s nomination of a new Ambassador to Canada.

The article goes on to document mistakes made in the past and place blame on provincial governments.

Everyone has been replaying past mistakes and placing blame but my question is what do we do about it now?
