Episode Details

Canada just walked away from U.S. trade talks after Trump’s last-minute demands, slammed by PM Mark Carney as an assault on sovereignty — a move timed to maximum impact, right after Labour Day. Rare political unity has emerged across Canada, even from Conservatives led by Pierre Poilievre, who backs standing firm against unfair tariffs. But Alberta Premier Danielle Smith stands apart, pushing for immediate restart of talks and opposing any Canadian countermeasures — fearing Alberta’s economic pain. Her chief of staff Rob Anderson warns against rash reactions that could derail Alberta’s push for separation. Meanwhile, U.S. VP JD Vance hinted at favoring opposition leader Jamil Jivani, leaving Poilievre scrambling with a weak response focused only on tariff-free trade.
