Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer discuss the impact of Trump's tariffs on Canada and their potential long-term economic consequences, and whether Trump's tariffs represent a new norm or a temporary aberration. In the back half of the show, they address the Carney government's plans to recognize the Palestinian state, the potential negative consequences that might arise from doing so, and the questionable timing of the announcement. They also elaborate on the importance of American leadership in resolving the Gaza conflict.
