Some good coverage of Saint John and how the tariffs will impact the city on the second night. Didn’t expect to see this from the CBC.

I totally missed this and didn't even know it was happening. How times have changed. I used to watch The National pretty religiously years ago but since cutting the cable we never watch broadcast TV and it really isn't on my radar.
I do read the CBC and other (CTV, Global, TJ/NP, CNN, BBC) news websites daily but as to watching a traditional news broadcast? .....rarely. I rarely even watch the short videos on the CBC website as they force you to watch a 30 second commercial in order to see a 90 second story. I will stream CTV News Channel if there is something major happening in order to get live coverage.
Given the 24 hour news cycle and how fragmented viewership is today I have to wonder how relevant traditional "nightly newscasts" are in today's media landscape.
