Shiftheads - Why Silence From Ottawa Feels Like Endorsement

Rob Breakenridge breaks down why Canadians are growing tired of hearing that the government will do whatever it takes, while new Trump tariffs keep landing with no exemptions left under the existing trade agreement. This one is for anyone wondering whether waiting out the chaos is actually a strategy or just a delay tactic. The conversation turns to where real opportunity might still exist, particularly around energy security, and what it would take for Ottawa to seize it instead of just reacting. Rob Breakenridge also makes the case that silence in moments like this reads as endorsement, not caution. A quick round of Canadian sweet treat picks kicks things off first.
