About this episode
Amanda Galbraith, co-founder and president of Oyster Group, and David Coletto, founder and chair of Abacus Data, join Sean Speer to discuss Prime Minister Mark Carney's "Forward Guidance" video and Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre's competing video. They analyze Carney's approach and whether his technocratic style serves as a political strength, as well as Poilievre's strategic challenges in balancing his base with broader appeal.
In the second half, they explore the political risks surrounding Canada-U.S. free trade negotiations, questioning whether Carney should pursue a quick deal or slow-walk the process.
