Premium Edition Teaser: 51st State of Mind, You Bloody Bastard, Wanging On


Listen Later

Three months ago, Pierre Poilievre was going to take 50 per cent of the total vote, a historic generational landslide. Now, he’s a pub trivia question. 

What happened in Canada? 

Did it warp beneath the enormous trade gravity of the Trump Presidency? 

And why did Canadians think that turning to a milquetoast former central banker would turn off the US electromagnet dismantling their country one bolt at a time? 

India and Pakistan are at it again. 

Early in the week, reports were of World War 3. Vishnu and Allah duking it out with nukes at the gates of hell. 

So far, it’s all sparks and no light, but this week’s rift shows how the region is both increasingly important and ever more a pawn of bigger powers. 

Finally, on Saturday Foreign Ministers from five central Asian countries met with China’s Wang Yi to talk over deepening trade ties.

It may seem like just a bunch of bros jawing over the agree-to-agree communiquê, but this is the dawning of the Middle Corridor.
