Will Carney’s ‘dangerous and divided’ talk placate Alberta?

Will Mark Carney’s “dangerous and divided” message resonate in Alberta? Jim Csek and Iain Burns examine his remarks, the reaction to The Really Big Show’s Pete Hoekstra interview, and the choices facing Canada on trade, energy and investment. In this October 16, 2026 livestream replay, the hosts discuss Canada–EU cooperation, Europe’s response to Chinese imports, immigration changes, Mélanie Joly’s dispute with Stelco and Cleveland-Cliffs, and U.S. trade representative Jamieson Greer’s comments on Canada’s China policy. Also in the show: Toyota’s Ontario plans, Doug Ford and electricity imports, LNG and oil pipelines, housing-department bonuses, First Nations financial reporting, David Eby’s election record and land-transfer questions, Ukraine funding, and Jensen Huang on innovation. The show closes with history, viewer comments and a look ahead to election coverage.
