With Jim Csek away in Japan, Andrea Jensen Bergg and Iain Burns take the reins for a sharp, fast-moving breakdown of Canada’s latest political contradictions.
Mark Carney is in the UAE asking for investment cash while BC and Alberta continue to spar over pipelines and what Alberta’s new memorandum of understanding actually delivers. Another Canadian company chooses the U.S. over home turf, Ottawa eyes Swedish fighter jets, and Coquitlam First Nations file a sweeping new Aboriginal title claim that could reshape the entire region.
Meanwhile at COP30, climate activists label Canada the “fossil of the day,” even as Ottawa prepares to sign a deal with the United Arab Emirates.
Energy, credibility, sovereignty, and a country that keeps tripping over its own talking points — Andrea and Iain break it all down.
