Sean Speer, co-founder and editor-at-large at The Hub, joins Rudyard Griffiths to analyze the Carney government's unconventional governing approach as Parliament returns. They examine how Prime Minister Mark Carney operates outside traditional parliamentary constraints, announcing major policies through executive action rather than legislative process. The discussion explores the challenges facing Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre in opposing a government that bypasses Parliament, the strategic dilemma of opposing for opposition's sake, and whether Parliament's institutional power is being fundamentally diminished by executive-led governance.
