Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer discuss the political shockwaves from ex-Conservative MP Michael Ma crossing the floor to join the Liberal Party, which puts Carney within one seat of a majority government. They examine the strategic implications of securing a majority without an election, the growing restlessness within Conservative ranks, and what this could mean for Poilievre's upcoming leadership review.

In the second half, they discuss Trump's new national security strategy and its assertion of American dominance over the hemisphere. They question whether Canada's diversification efforts are now obsolete and what realistic policy options remain.
