What blocking the Billy Bishop Airport expansion reveals about Canada's ability to build

Amanda Galbraith, co-founder and president of Oyster Group, and David Coletto, founder and chair of Abacus Data, join Sean Speer to discuss the Carney government's decision to block the Billy Bishop airport expansion in Toronto. They examine whether vocal minorities can derail major infrastructure projects, what this signals about Canada's capacity to build, and whether it undermines the prime minister's nation-building agenda.

In the second half, they explore conservative debates around supporting professional women and mothers, discussing workplace flexibility, fertility rates, and reconciling career ambitions with family life.
