    Carney's Wasted World Travels

    Mike Wixson hosts a roundtable with Paul Micucci and Jim Lang breaking down the world tour on “Can Force One,” what (if anything) Canada brought home, and what it all means heading into the Nov 4 budget. We cover: The new CC-330 “Can Force One” and why the optics matter A country-by-country look at the PM’s trips — press releases vs. real deals (Indonesia, UK/EU, Ukraine, Mexico, Asia) Big spends abroad (Ukraine support, AUS radar, UK R&D) vs. lack of reciprocal wins for Canada Trade reality: still ~70% tied to the U.S., and how the Reagan/tariff ad drama complicates it Mining and resources without the pipelines/roads to ship them (risk vs. reality) What Australia and South Korea did differently (long-horizon industrial strategy) Internal roadblocks: interprovincial barriers, cost of lumber, stalled projects Why this might be the most consequential Canadian budget in years—and whether it triggers an election   Join the conversation & get the full show archive: https://www.tplmedia.ca/ Chapters (00:00:00) - Prime Minister's Day(00:00:23) - Prime Minister Trudeau's travel style(00:04:50) - Prime Minister Trudeau on His Foreign Trips(00:09:00) - Trump on his Ukraine trip(00:10:04) - What's Mark Carney's Plan?(00:14:13) - Mark Carney on the China trade deal(00:16:27) - President Trump on his China Meeting(00:22:17) - Canada-Australia trade deal(00:25:26) - Carney on softwood lumber(00:30:19) - Canada's approach to mining(00:36:05) - Trump on China Meeting and the Government Shutdown(00:40:00) - Should the Border Be Closed?(00:44:57) - Why Don't We Build Any Infrastructure?(00:47:32) - Canada's pro-immigration stance(00:50:09) - Canada's Place in the World

    Conservative MP Defects: Trouble for Poilievre’s Leadership?

    A shocking move rocks Ottawa: Nova Scotia MP Chris D’Entremont crosses the floor from Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives to Mark Carney’s Liberals, putting the Liberals just two votes shy of a majority. What does this mean for Canada’s political landscape — and is Poilievre’s leadership on the line? In this episode, host Mike Wixson sits down with veteran broadcaster Jim Lang to unpack one of the most dramatic political shifts in recent memory. Together, they explore the cracks forming inside the Conservative Party and what this floor-crossing could mean for the next election.   Key Topics: • Why Chris D’Entremont left the Conservatives for the Liberals. • Inside speculation on Pierre Poilievre’s leadership struggles. • How Mark Carney and the Liberals may use this to seize power. • The growing divide between federal and provincial conservatives. • Who could emerge as the next Conservative leader.   Subscribe for more conversations like this.
