With decades of experience in media and public life, Shurman offers a sharp and candid assessment of where Canada stands heading into 2026.Shurman explains why Canadians feel a deep malaise despite upbeat headlines about GDP. He breaks down the lack of optimism, the loss of direction, and the frustration with a Prime Minister who promised to manage the Trump relationship, fix the economy, and rebuild confidence - and has delivered none of it.From stalled energy projects to foreign policy blunders to businesses leaving for the United States, Shurman lays out how political missteps have weakened Canada’s economic foundation. He also reacts to why Justin Trudeau was elected three times, why the Liberal brand still holds sway with some voters, and why Canadians need to give their heads a shake about where this country is actually headed.A frank, funny, and insightful conversation with one of Canada’s sharpest political voices.
