The Hub's co-founders analyze Prime Minister Mark Carney's high-stakes meeting with President Trump at the White House. They focus on the possibility of Canada agreeing with Trump's proposed "Golden Dome" continental missile defence system, arguing that this technology is fundamentally flawed and would represent a dangerous shift toward deeper military integration with the United States. The discussion also explores the political risks for Carney. These range from Carney making a series of concessions to the Trump administration without securing trade concessions in return, to committing billions on an unproven defence system that contradicts Canada's goals of diversifying its economic and security relationships.
