Article content

Postmedia’s Political Hack team, Tasha Kheiriddin and Stuart Thomson, join Brian Lilley to assess the political spin contest over the collapse of U.S.-Canada trade talks. Despite the economic damage, they discuss why neither side has an incentive to make a deal. Prime Minister Mark Carney just crushed three byelections, securing his majority and grinding down the Conservatives — and there are several more coming up. And they explain how U.S. President Donald Trump’s strategy is to use the trade war as an excuse to deflect voter discontent in the upcoming congressional midterms, while continuing to divide Canadians. The only question for both is how long they can politically gain from the pain of closed businesses and job losses until voters won’t stand for it anymore. (Recorded Sept. 4, 2026.)
