Your Morning will be broadcasting live from St. Clair College on Friday from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m.

“We did a live show out of Saint John, New Brunswick. We did a live show out of Edmonton last week, and this week we are here in Windsor,” host Anne-Marie Mediwake said Thursday.

She was near St. Joachim interviewing Essex County farmer Leo Guilbeault as part of a focus on the local greenhouse and agriculture sector and the impact of American tariffs.

“We came to Windsor-Essex, because yes, it’s a smaller city, but it has big impact from what is happening south of the border,” Mediwake said. “You’ve got manufacturing and auto, which everybody knows, but there’s a secondary story that isn’t talked about a lot, but equally important, and that is agriculture in this area, the amount of produce that goes across the border in to feed the U.S., that story is a really big one here.”

Your Morning will have a wide range of special interviews from the Goodfellows to Mayor Drew Dilkens and local Unifor leaders.

Over the course of the federal election, Your Morning has travelled across the country but Mediwake says there are common themes across Canada.

“Everybody’s talking about cost of living and affordability. That’s number one for everybody; every demographic in every province,” Mediwake said. “But how what’s happening south of the border affects different industries and provinces, that’s what we wanted to dig into and that’s part of the reason we came to Windsor.”
