canada can take that lead., but we don't need to look far for the solution. we already have one. she is living in a refugee camp in jordan. she is walking five kilometers to school in guatemala. she's every one of the girls out of school around the world today. we know what to do. what we must look inside ourselves for the will to keep our promises. this, sisters and brothers, we have a responsibility to improve the world. when future generations read about us in their books or on their ipads, or whatever the next innovation will be, i don't want them to be shocked. 130 million girls could not go to school and we did nothing. i don't want them to be shocked that we did not stand up for child refugees as millions of families fled their homes. i don't want us to be known for failing them. let the future generations say we were the ones who stood up. let them say we were the first ones, we were the first to live in a world where all girls could learn and lead without fear. be the ones to bring the change we want t

has a $400 million dairy surplus with canada, so it's not canada that is the challenge here. the way we approach our very constructive relationship with the united states on trade and other things is to base both around the facts of the issues and a shared desire to see citizens on both of our sides of the border succeed. we know that trade, nafta, free and open trade between canada and the u.s. creates jobs on both sides of the border, so we are not going to overreact. we're going to lay out the facts and have substantive conversations about how to improve the benefits for citizens on both sides of our border. john: on particular things to do with milk, every canadian family pays several hundred dollars more in terms of their annual milk bill because of certain protections you have. on this one thing, you admit donald trump has a point? p.m. trudeau: let's not pretend we are in a global free trade world. every country protect their agricultural industries. we have a supply management system that works very well in canada. americans and other countries choose to subsidize to

it is not just honorary citizenship of canada, but it is also being canada's friend and i warmly acceptednk canada for expression and and education and humanity and refugees and for standing up for women's rights and for peace. i am really excited to be here to meet you all, and you are a true example to the world of what it means to stand up for humanity that i am hopeful you will inspire many more countries and many more leaders to follow in your footsteps. i am hopeful together through our work we can ensure that every girl can get quality education. that is my mission. i am sure you will all join me in this cause. once again, i am really thankf thankful, and this is an honor and a great opportunity to see prime minister trudeau. everyone was excited, especially all the people in the uk and the u.s. who have said oh, you are meeting justin trudeau. shake his hand. i have finally done it. i want to say he is an amazing person and inspiration and a person standing up without fear for women's rights and equality and he is standing up among a time and during a time where the world is hopel

ambassador to canada. his term ended january 20 of this year. he joins us now from our detroit bureau. thanks for joining us. questionisit the first that scarlet brought up, which is an important one, from your experience in relationships between these two countries, how did this come to this point where a tariff gets slapped on? >> let's start with the fact that there is no country more important to the u.s. and canada -- and i mean that because it is one of our largest trading partners, and the trade we have with canada is 630 $5 billion in goods and services in 2016. it is balanced. the u.s. has a bit of a trade surplus right now. we have a very balanced trade. in addition to that, canada is the largest energy supplier to the united states, energy that we don't produce ourselves. by the way, we don't make enough energy within the united states to supply all of our energy needs. the oil sandsn and in hydro, solar, other ways, provides energy. norad, together in nato, we share this amazing 5000-plus mile

canada relations, outlining a new. duty range between 33 to 24%, costing canada a billion dollars. president trump did not hide that latest shot was in response to protective pricing by canadian dairy farmers. canada has made business for our dav dairy farmers in wisconsin difficult. >> canada, what they have done to our dairy farmworkers is a disgrace. reporter: like the dairy in wisconsin, depended on ultra filtered milk told to canada, but the canadian dairy formers drove the price down, and u.s. out of competition. they were notified april one they would no longer with a buyer for their milk. after 7 generations they were looking at potential of shutting down. >> we would have to have an auction and sell the cows. reporter: revenue, estimated $150 million, u.s. dairy farmers will be faced with a problem of too much milk, not enough buyers. >> you have no way to pay for it, if dump your milk. >> canada said it has always been too much product of dairy from united states. >> the challenge is a global market issue not one that cause by canada. reporter: canadian minister of foreig

sets off what some call a trade war with canada. >> canada has been very rough on the united states. >> and the president on pulling out of nafta. i'm trying to make sense of it all with canada's foreign minister. >>> and forget the first 100 days, how about the next 265? to me, the president's first year is the most important milestone. a great group of scholars join me to discuss what we have seen and what we can expect. but first, here's my take. there are so many unusual, unprecedented aspects of donald trump's first 100 days in office that's hard to figure out where to begin. the number of promises unfulf l unfulfilled the staggering. but the policies unfulfilled are those that have been reversed entirely. never in the annals of the presidency have there been so many flip-flops so fast without any explanation. trump announced many of these reversals cavalierly. as he said in late february, nobody knew health care could be so complicated. i suspect that the next education will be in tax policy. trump's proposals outlined this week are breathtakingly irresponsible. they would add

is $400 million dairy surplus with canada. so it is in canada that is the challenge here.y we approach constructive relationship with the united states on trade and other things is to base both around the facts of the issues and a shared desire to see citizens on both of our sites succeed. the free and open trade between canada and the u.s. creates millions of good jobs on both sides of the border. so we are not going to over react. we are going to lay out the facts and we're going to have substantial conversations about how to improve and benefit both sides of the borders. pays every canadian family several hundred dollars more in terms of their annual milk bill because of the measures you have. surely the protection of the middle class on this one thing, you admit that donald trump has a point? pm trudeau: let's not returned we are in a global free market when it comes to agriculture. every country -- it is an agriculture industry. a management system that works very well here in canada. the americans and other countries choose to subsidize to the tunes of hundreds of mi

and costing canada $1 billion. and president trump did not hide that the latest shot was in response to protective pricing by canadian dairy farmers. we'll not stand for this. watch. >> >> canada what they did to our dairy farmer are system a disgrace. >> it was was ultrafiltered milk. and canadian farmers drove the price down and 75 dairieses in wisconsin and new york were notified they would not have a buyer for the milk in may. this family was look being at the potential of shutting down. >> we would have to have an auction and sell the cows. at the end of the month u.s. dairy farmers will have too much mullk. >> you can't pay the bills. >> reporter: canada said the problem is overproduction of u.s. dairy. >> the challenge in united states and canada is a global market issue and not caused by canada. >> reporter: the canadian minister issued the sharp rebuke and stating it will increase the price of new homes and putting them out of reach for tens of thousands of america home bares. 75 percent of the exports are

to canada. the president said he does not fear a trade war because canada has a surplus, the u.s., a deficit. >> bret: thank you. let's talk about this canadian trade situation and the state of the u.s. economy. fox business networks trish re. 20% tariff on canadian lumber, how much does that matter to the u.s. economy? >> in the scheme of things, it's not a ton of tax revenue. we are talking about a billion dollars. and then there is some concern about the housing market and whether it would drive housing prices up via higher costs for number, but that is on the margin. it's not expected that it would have a huge effect because lumber is not the most important are most expensive part of building a home. really what it comes down to here is that president trump is sending a message great his administration is sending a message to canada, to mexico, to china in that we are taking it very seriously. if you think that you can bring your goods to the u.s., goods that are subsidized, and sell them he

what we're dealing with canada is unfair practices in display from canada for years, a matter for the united states to take action, exactly what wilbur ross explained. they're the ones that are protectionists, like japan and other nations, they take care of themselves and it's time for the united states to take action. it was a clear approach from the trump administration that we're going to protect american interests and the unfair practices are unacceptable from other nations. >> go ahead, david. >> the rhetoric runs off the table here. you're talking about not making america better, about the other side losing. that's what jose is talking about, to push the rhetoric. talking about a thousand dollar increase on a 300,000 home, are you kidding me? that's peanuts. trish: not to mention what it does for the u.s. lumber industry which translates into more jobs. >> it's not just about lumber, it's about our entire economy. >> china, mexico, you said very small. trish: perhaps in some ways, you could think of this as a giant pr stunt, you're making it clear to china, you guys have to play

guest: prescription drugs is a problem in canada. when they designed the program, originally more than half of the expert is referred doctors and hospitals, but now 2/3 is for drugs. the way it works in canada is if the drugs are prescribed when you're in the hospital, they are covered. therefore, doctors will sometimes it patients in hospital so they get a prescription. one thing about the canadian are a fewthere problems. you mentioned one. there is also a wait time problem. you have to wait longer for emergency surgery -- or elective surgery. in canada is $4500 per person versus $9,500 here. if you doubled canadian spending, you would have something very much comparable to what we have here. one thing about whatever change would have to be made in the united states -- it cannot be made worse. americans would not accept worse. host: we here from bud, also in connecticut. republican. caller: thanks for c-span. a couple of things -- what if you are over 65? how does that work? covered orthings scheduled like an mri or cat scan, how l

i love canada, but they've outsmarted our politicians for many years. >> seth: canada's been rough onome on, the worst thing canada's ever done, is try to pass off ham as bacon. [ light laughter ] and remember, the worst thing we ever did to canada was just one year ago. >> a game between two u.s. teams last night officially ended any faint hope for a canadian team to make the playoffs. this will be the first time since 1970, the nhl playoffs will be all american. >> seth: no canadian teams made the playoffs, prime minister. what should we do? lower the price of soft wood. [ laughter and applause ] in fact, trump was apparently so upset with canada that as of yesterday, his white house was threatening to terminate the landmark free trade deal between the u.s., mexico and canada. >> the white house considering drafting an executive order to pull out of the north american free trade agreement, nafta. >> seth: something tells me this isn't the first time trump has had to pull out because of some soft wood. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] "i'm -- i'm sorry nafta, this has never happe

what is canada's position on a retaliation? how far along are you in the process, and in french as well please. justin trudeau: to highlight how closely the federal government has been working with the premiers, i have to say over the past month, the regular phone calls to premieres, the collaborative approach where the various premieres have engaged in different ways with different aspects of the u.s. administration to tremendous affect. it is obvious a candidate is -- it is obvious canada is strong and it can engaging in a constructive, productive way, and i think brad for it on the call. we had a great call following is excellent and productive visit to washington and to iowa where he was able to continue to speak not just for saskatchewan but for all canadians, how we will work together to make sure we are creating real opportunities. so the kind of collaboration and ongoing partnerships we have across the country on this issue is really something canadians can all be very proud of. on the issue of steps, candida -- steps,

people don't realize, canada has been very rough on the united states. everyone thinks of canada of being nice but they've outsmarted our politicians for many years and you people understand that. so we did institute a very big tariff. we announced it yesterday and we're going to take care of our dairy farmers in wisconsin and upstate new york and lots of other places. so i think you people all probably agree with that, right? would you agree with that? >> you got to believe it. >> our farmers deserve a government that empowers them to do the hard work that they love to do so much and that's what

everyone thinks of canada of being wonderful and they are, i love canada.ve been out smarting our politicians for years and you understand that. >> mexico on the southern border gets a wall to stop bad hombres and way up north, canada's on the hit list as well. and believe it or not it's all about timber and milk. ana navarro is here. steven moore and cnn contributor, jason canter. steven, i'm going to start with you. the president said canada's been very rough on the united states and taking advantage of us. why the tough talk on canada all the sudden? what's this all about? >> i agree with most of what he wants to do with the economy. i think that the whole idea which was kind of regan version of making north america a big free trade zone is exactly the right thing to do. it's good for all of countries of north america. but there have been some problems on south of the border, sure. but i haven't seen too many people complaining about trade with canada and it's not as if they're beating us with lower wages and so on. it's just that times the lumber is che

not only was henry clarke able to move to canada.05 he setup a children's home in ontario. he only left that post having been questioned by police while on holiday back in belfast in 1985. the historical institutional abuse inquiry was told that after those interviews he admitted to detectives that he'd abused three boys at three different care homes where he worked in northern ireland. yet he was never prosecuted and it's believed that information wasn't passed on to anyone in canada. after making the admission to police, he left the children's home he'd setup in ontario and went on to become a pastor at several churches in canada. he insists he was never involved in further abuse and that no allegations have been made against him in the country. i enjoyed caring for young people and... but you enjoyed it because you were getting access to children. that's not fair. i didn't do it for that reason. that's not the reason i did it at all. i did it because i enjoyed looking after them, i enjoyed the work. the opportunity arose and i too

and so i believe -- i believe as prime minister of canada we have a very simple choice. we stand by israel and we stand against those threats or we watch those threats come daily to our own shores. and that is why i believe so strongly that as canadians and americans, all western countries it's in the absolute vital interest to stand by the state of israel. >> so as you look back on your tenure as prime minister, what do you now consider to be your top priorities and achievements in that bilateral canadian-israeli relationship? >> look, i could point to a lot of small things. i mean one of the things i consider small in a way because it was more a personal honor, i was the first canadian ever to speak to the canessa, we modernized their free trade agreements, a number of bilateral issues we took in terms of science and ten among other things. but the two things i'm most proud of are these, and i know one very strongly supported here -- our government, the government i led, john barrett, our former affairs minister, we consistently -- give him a hand. we consistently refu

everyone thinks of canada as being wonderful and they are, i love canada.ey've outsmarted our pligsss for years and you people understand that. >> so the north and south. mexico on our southern border gets a wall. the president says it's to stop bad hombres. way up north, canada is on the president's hit list as well and believe it or not, it's all about timber and milk. let's discuss now. cnn political commentator ana navarro, steven moore and jason candor. good evening. steven, i'm going to start with you. the president said that canada has been very rough on the united states and taking advantage of us. of all places, why the tough talk on canada all of a sudden? what's this all about? >> well, i'm a supporter of donald trump's and i agree with most of what he wants to do on the economy but this is one area where i strongly disagree. i think that the whole idea which was kind of reagan vision going back to the '80s of making north america a big free trade zone is exactly the right thing to do. it's good for all of the countries of north america. but ther

so we will have to get to the negotiating table with canada very quickly. again, just to tell you, this is another nafta disaster. we will not let it continue onward. i think what i would like to do is ask a few of the people if they would like to -- these are some of the great steel companies of our country. some of those companies were much bigger years ago. u.s. steel would be an example, and others would be examples. but they were -- these were the greatest companies in the world years ago. today, they have been hurt but they will be great again. and there will be great i think very soon. we will impose very strict regulations on unfair competition. perhaps i could ask the head of united states steel to say the words. >> i think the signing of this executive order demonstrates your understanding of the fundamental importance that our industry has, not just the national economy but national defense. president trump: thank you very much. anybody else like to say something? >> i would like to thank you, secretary ross, for this action, protecting not only
