Episode description
Canada has a new prime minister and a smaller cabinet with several familiar faces. As Mark Carney takes charge amid a trade war with the U.S., his first diplomatic stop isn’t Washington but France and the UK. Meanwhile, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and Ontario Premier Doug Ford clash over whether to use oil exports as leverage. With an election looming, tensions rise between Carney and Pierre Poilievre, setting the stage for a heated campaign. Host Kathleen Petty returns to break it all down with former Conservative MP Monte Solberg, Liberal strategist Sabrina Grover, and economist Kent Fellows, exploring the new cabinet, Canada’s trade and energy challenges, and what "standing up to Trump" really means.
