#23 Sean Speer: High Stakes Politics & Challenges for Canada's Next Prime Minister
from Concepts with Shawn Whatley · host Shawn Whatley
Sean Speer, Editor at Large at The Hub, paints a stressful (dire?) picture of what faces the next prime minister. The need to secure a stable economic and security agreement with the United States may, paradoxically, compromise the Prime Minister’s political future. They might not be able to secure an agreement that any Canadians will like. What will America want in return for an improved trade relationship? Will we have to change policies on supply management, internet regulation, and customs? We end by discussing the shifting political dynamics among the so-called ‘tech bros' and their alignment with conservative politics, and what that might mean for Canada. The stakes couldn’t be higher for this election. I hope you enjoy the episode.
