In advance of the trilateral CUSMA negotiations, Carney’s relationship with Trump has gone from Elbows Up to Heated Rivalry. Will Carney’s flattery of Trump pay off for Canadians?

Rahim Mohamed of the National Post joins to explain why, whatever happens with CUSMA, Carney is lucky to have Pierre Poilievre around as a convenient foil.

Plus, politicians get noisy about the Calgary Stampede, and the controversy around the Nakba exhibit in Winnipeg.
