Let’s not waste a Thursday.
As the week grinds on, pressure keeps building in Ottawa and across the country. Bessent challenges Mark Carney to set ego aside and work for Canada, while the “new world order” talk is starting to sound more like political isolation than leadership. The premiers meet with the PM, and once again Canadians are left wondering what actually moved the needle.
In BC, David Eby openly acknowledges he has no real say on pipelines, even as tensions with Alberta rise. Nationally, energy policy paralysis continues, the auto sector feels the strain, layoffs loom in the public service, and the economic outlook remains grim.
We dig into how media narratives are being shaped, why the CBC is pushing harder for influence, and how even major institutions are quietly walking back net-zero commitments. Add Trump back on the campaign trail, global market shifts, and warnings of a looming fiscal crisis in New York, and it’s clear this story is far bigger than Canada alone.
Hard questions, zero spin, and accountability where it belongs.
