Trade Wars, Teacher Strikes, and Canada's Week of Chaos

Mark Adam, your Head Dummy, breaks down the week where Canadian politics officially went off the rails, featuring tariffs, tantrums, and questionable leadership choices. The Blue Jays are crushing the World Series, and President Trump is so angry about it (and some anti-tariff ads running during the game) that he terminated all trade negotiations with Canada. We discuss if Canada really just traded billions in commerce for a sports-fueled moral victory. Also in this episode: • Carney's 'Sacrifices': The Prime Minister warns young Canadians. • Poilievre & The Mountie Mess: Is he running a political party or starring in a low-budget legal drama? • Pivot to Beijing: Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand rebrands China as a "strategic partner" in a dramatic policy shift. • Auto Industry Angst: We discover who pays the price for corporate broken promises. • Alberta's Back-to-School Battle: 51,000 striking teachers are about to be ordered back to work by law.
