Today’s livestream cuts through a rapidly shifting political and economic landscape. Jim and Iain break down what Americans are demanding to secure a deal, the increasingly uncomfortable alignment between CBC and Carney, and Poilievre standing shoulder to shoulder with Danielle Smith on a contentious issue. We look at Alberta holding assets the world wants, Liberal missteps piling up, and Ottawa preparing yet another sweeping climate doctrine while real projects remain stalled. From talk of federal cuts and foreigners leaving Canada, to taxpayer-funded research attacking the country itself, questions around accountability keep growing. Add in Russia’s aggressive Arctic posture, BC’s mounting frustration with Eby, crime policies that actually work, Trump’s address to the nation, a divided U.S. economy, culture-war moments backfiring online, the decline of traditional TV, and Starlink’s global dominance — and it’s another packed episode unpacking where power, trust, and momentum are really moving.
