In this special episode, we unpack what a Mark Carney-led Liberal minority means for Canadian investors — from markets and monetary policy to energy and geopolitical strategy.

First, Frances Horodelski kicks off with a sharp overview of how the political shift is landing with Bay Street and what the new government signals for confidence and capital markets.

Then, Jim Thorne of Wellington-Altus dives deep into the global economic context — including structural shifts, U.S. relations, and Canada's place in a rapidly changing world. He explores what investors should watch for in policy, growth sectors, and geopolitical risk.

Finally, oil and gas investor Eric Nuttall doesn’t hold back. He shares his unfiltered views on the energy sector under Carney, the fading relevance of net-zero rhetoric, and why Canadian resource stocks could thrive — or suffer — depending on what happens next in Ottawa.

Whether you're managing your portfolio or just trying to make sense of the headlines, this episode delivers key insights you won't want to miss.
