No deal is better than a bad deal. That appears to be the consensus among political and business leaders in Canada, after President Donald Trump applied new tariffs on Canadian imports that aren't covered by a 2018 free trade deal. While other countries rushed to make trade deals, Canadian leaders determined they could not agree to one — yet. To catch up with how all of this is being processed in British Columbia, and some other topics, KUOW’s Kim Malcolm talked to Vancouver-based journalist Michelle Eliot, who hosts the CBC weekday call in program BC Today.

In 2018, the Washington state Legislature passed a law that, among other things, prevents state agencies from sharing residents’ personal information with federal officials when it comes to immigration enforcement. It's part of a range of laws and policies that makes Washington a sanctuary state.
