Amanda Galbraith, co-founder and president of Oyster Group, and David Coletto, founder and chair of Abacus Data, join Sean Speer to discuss the consequences from collapsed Canada-U.S. trade negotiations. They examine Prime Minister Carney's commanding performance following the breakdown, the rally-around-the-flag effect benefiting the Liberals, and the challenges facing the Conservatives. They also explore whether Canadian politicians face perverse incentives to prolong the crisis given its political benefits, regional tensions over retaliatory measures, and the difficulty of reaching any deal amid heightened public emotions on both sides of the border.
