This episode covers Mark Carney’s latest efforts to diversify Canada’s trade partnerships as U.S. political setbacks and bipartisan resistance in Congress suggest Donald Trump’s influence may be weakening, even as Carney’s personal rapport with him could matter if tariffs return. It also analyzes Carney’s narrow budget victory in Ottawa, along with internal strains facing the NDP and Conservatives, and what the vote signals about parties’ preparedness for an election. The episode ends with a 200-second interview with Conservative MP Jamil Jivani.
