It’s the start of a new week, and Jim & Iain are diving straight into a wild stretch of Canadian and global news.
Mark Carney publicly apologizes to Donald Trump, while admitting “Team Canada” doesn’t exist — a moment that exposes how fractured the country’s economic and diplomatic footing has become. His press conference highlights everything Canadians are worried about: capital flight accelerating, weak growth, policy paralysis, and a government still betting on climate diplomacy while major players like the U.S. and China move in different directions.
Meanwhile, boomers continue to prop up Carney, even as Canadian media bias gets called out, and Pierre sits down with Rosie for an interview that raises more questions than answers.
We dig into Canada’s largest tax dodger, why investment keeps fleeing the country, and how Hodgson is celebrating “critical minerals” while the U.S. moves at a completely different scale. Is it substance… or spin?
Plus:
– Are Americans preparing for a new crusade?
– Should the Bank of Canada finally cut?
– Newsom finds out he hates himself (politically speaking)
