The political fallout of a new Canada-U.S. trade deal

Amanda Galbraith, co-founder and president of Oyster Group, and David Coletto, founder and chair of Abacus Data, join Sean Speer to discuss the Canada-U.S. interim trade deal. They examine why the Carney government is accepting tariffs after months of resistance, the political challenges of selling concessions to a public conditioned to expect defiance against Trump, and the unraveling consensus among premiers. The panel explores whether this deal can be successfully communicated, how it affects Carney's political capital, and the implications for Canada's upcoming investment summit.
