At the same time, Canada’s political landscape is shifting after Lori Idlout, the NDP MP from Nunavut, crossed the floor to join the Liberals, bringing **Mark Carney’s government closer to a potential parliamentary majority. The hosts analyze what these developments could mean for global stability, oil prices, and the balance of power in Ottawa.
