Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer discuss the rocky week of Canada-U.S. relations, from President Trump's latest tariff threats to child labour accusations against Canada. They also discuss Prime Minister Carney's strategy of "anticipatory obedience" and whether Canada should push back harder against U.S. demands. They also examine the Gordie Howe Bridge controversy and the prime minister's political vulnerabilities.
In the second half, they discuss a new DeepDive on the emerging doctrine of sovereignty economics in Canada. They scrutinize Canada's push for "AI sovereignty," arguing that government-led digital nationalism risks repeating past industrial policy mistakes."
