Why MAGA's views on Canada could derail CUSMA renegotiations

Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer discuss the deteriorating Canada-U.S. trade relationship as CUSMA renegotiations loom. They explore how MAGA media portrays Canada as authoritarian and influences the Trump administration's hardline stance against its northern neighbour. They also examine how Prime Minister Carney's anti-American positioning, while politically successful domestically, may undermine negotiations. In the second half, they address Canada's media subsidy system and the competitive pressures facing independent outlets that refuse government funding.If you are enjoying the free version of the Hub Roundtable, subscribe to become a Hub Hero or Fellow to access the full version every week: https://thehub.ca/join/The Hub is Canada’s fastest growing independent digital news outlet.Subscribe to The Hub's podcast feed to get our best content when you are on the go:https://tinyurl.com/3a7zpd7e (Apple)https://tinyurl.com/y8akmfn7 (Spotify)Follow The Hub on X: https://x.com/thehubcanada?lang=enCREDITS:Amal Attar-Guzman - Producer and EditorRudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer - Hosts Hosted on Acast.
