About this episode

The episode discusses the implications of Carney's decision to halt trade negotiations with the US and explores various political and economic perspectives on the issue.

The Everything Political panel with former MPs Martha Hall Findlay and Tony Clement discusses Carney’s decision to call off trade negotiations with the United States, whether this was a negotiating tactic, the possibility of a deal, whether retaliatory tariffs are a good idea, and a “united front” for Canada’s premiers. They also discuss the “good politics, bad economics” of being Elbows Up with Trump, Doug Ford’s comments, Trump’s zero-sum approach to negotiations, American booze on Canadian shelves, and the usual round of “Good on Yas.”
