Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer discuss Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre's major speech on Canada-U.S. relations and the Trump administration. They examine the strengths of Poilievre's speech, from his diagnosis of Canada's domestic economic weaknesses, rejection of the 'rupture thesis' that frames Trump as the permanent new normal, and his tougher stance on China. They also discuss the weaknesses of the Conservative leader's speech, including his tone toward Trump, which lacked the nationalist edge some expected, and his embrace of economic nationalism and digital sovereignty.
In the second half, they discuss AI's potential economic disruption, exploring competing economic projections about labour displacement. They examine whether society can manage the transition to an AI-transformed economy without significant political and social upheaval.
