Episode Details

Canadian unity starts with questions about fairness and belonging. Jimmy Zoubris and Karen Stintz offer competing perspectives for making sense of wealth taxes and provincial frustrations. A millionaires tax sounds specific, but who would actually pay, and what would the money fund?

The separation debate raises another question: do Quebec and Alberta want recognition for the same reasons? Language, culture and resource wealth enter the argument, but Jimmy and Karen differ on how those forces fit together. That distinction matters when considering what Ottawa could address.

Then there is the everyday business of being one country. Moving Canadian products between provinces becomes a test of that relationship. What would stronger common ground look like beyond a shared response to an outside threat?
