Today’s episode circles back to one theme that keeps proving itself true: it’s all about energy. Jim and Iain break down the growing tensions around CUSMA, with Mexico raising alarms while the Liberals shrug it off. We look at nations preparing for conflict, the government spending like money has no limits, and families facing yet another wave of bad economic news. From Carney’s muddy explanations to the ballooning Stellantis scandal, the clown-show gun grab, and Ottawa’s bonus-and-vacation season, the disconnect couldn’t be clearer. We dig into whether Canada can withstand the damage done by Liberal–NDP policies, Poilievre’s upcoming review, and Eby steering BC off the rails. Plus: new political contenders, global war drums, and a naval blockade escalating fast. Another packed show — and none of it looks like slowing down.
