Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer Foreign Minister Anand's recent diplomatic mission to China and what it signals about Canada's evolving relationship with Beijing. They question whether this represents genuine policy triangulation amid U.S.-Canada trade tensions or a concerning normalization of ties with a regime that has imprisoned Canadian citizens, engaged in foreign interference, and imposed punitive tariffs on Canadian canola exports.
In the back half of the show, they discuss the emergence of a new meritocratic elite around the Carney government who combine genuine professional achievements with a sense of entitlement and distance from ordinary Canadians. They argue that this emerging elite risks creating dangerous blind spots in governance and could fuel the kind of populist backlash as seen elsewhere in the democratic world.
