Episode notes
Results Over Rhetoric
- Mark Carney must deliver concrete results rather than rhetoric to reassure Canadians after years of drift.
- He faces urgent priorities: growth, productivity, trade, energy, defence, and sovereignty.
Narrow Runway, High Stakes
- Carney has a short, narrow runway and governs in a fragile minority that can collapse after a few big stumbles.
- Managing premiers and U.S. relations will be essential to protect prosperity and sovereignty.
Polievre Needs Policy, Not Just Zingers
- Conservatives should evolve Pierre Poilievre from zinger-driven opposition to a statesman with credible policy plans.
- Offer concrete proposals on cost of living, growth, unity, housing, security, and defence to become PM-in-waiting.
