Canada Is Fixing Its Cities for the World Cup. Not for the People Who Live There.

from Shane Hewitt and The Nightshift · host iHeartRadio

Canada right track is the question one year out from the election. Matt Gurney's assessment is that we are more or less where he worried we would be. A poll showing almost half of Canadians think things are going well is being presented as an optimism surge. Matt Gurney's read is that the case for Canada right now exists mostly in theory, and the separatism conversation gets harder to win without something concrete to point to. Toronto is rushing to complete transit and infrastructure projects for the World Cup that should have been done for taxpayers. The question of why visitors are the motivation that residents are not is the closer. Topics: Canada right track, Alberta separatism, Canadian politics, Mark Carney, World Cup Toronto GUEST: Matt Gurney | http://readtheline.ca @‌mattgurney Originally aired on 2026-05-26
