What questions do you have about the trade war  and what it means for you?

On Thursday, U.S. President Donald Trump said duties on a wide range of Canadian products may not hit until April. This comes after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said he spoke with Trump about how to bring the American-led trade war to an end. But there's no indication Donald Trump won't impose tariffs again, and on Friday was threatening to impose them on Canada's dairy and lumber sectors. Are you ready if the dispute becomes less talk and more tariffs? What questions do you have about the trade war? What does it mean to you? We'll ask Hadrian Mertins-Kirkwood, a political economist at the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, and Bruce Sellery, an expert on personal finances.
 

What questions do you have about how to deal with a bully?

You can find a bully in many places — in a school yard, at work or maybe even at the highest levels of government. Some have accused U.S. President Donald Trump of being a bully, in a world of international politics, where diplomacy is the norm. Canadians have been forced to respond. When you've got no choice but to take on your bully, how do you do it? What does it look like when it takes place at work? What are the conditions that make bullying possible? How do you fight back? We'll ask Tony Volk, a Brock University professor and scientist who studies bullying as well as parenting, personality and psychopathy and Linda Crockett, the founder of the Canadian Institute of Workplace Bullying Resources.
