P.E.I. potato prohibition, cushioning carbon charges

| 1 min read

The final destination for Prince Edward Island’s bumper potato crop has become a question mark after the United States, citing recent cases of potato wart in the province, asked Canada to block the export of those potatoes. But as Greg Donald of the P.E.I. Potato Board explains, the exact reason for the U.S. request is also still a question mark. Also: A lot of federal lawmakers agree Canadian farmers should have a break on carbon tax on farm fuels. Now Sarah Dobson of the University of Calgary considers what form such a tax break should take and why. Hosted by Dave Bedard.
