Carney's charm offensive in Washington

In this episode of Hub Politics, Sean Speer, along with Amanda Galbraith, principal at Oyster Group, and David Coletto, founder and CEO of Abacus Data, discuss Prime Minister Mark Carney's recent trip to Washington. They examine his diplomatic approach with President Trump, including his public flattery and the communication challenges this creates. They also discuss whether Canadians will accept the necessary compromises in trade negotiations despite Carney's previous "elbows up" campaign rhetoric. They also explore the emerging NDP leadership race, particularly Rob Ashton's working-class candidacy, and the growing significance of generational politics; how age-based divisions over housing, wealth accumulation, and economic opportunity may reshape Canadian political dynamics in the coming years.
