I do not usually listen to podcast but I got curious and highly enjoyed it. I am of the mind that yes the honeymoon is over and now real work starts. Liberals are still in the same tune of not really answering questions and even go back to the whining of the Trudeau years. Too many actors revert to the old ideology of the least I say, the better I do.
This is what I do not understand of all those panels of knowledgeable people in political matters, everyone expect the PM to come up with quick results because he set the bar high, apparently. Its the medias quick analysis that tells us, the public, that we should expect instant results. What has Carney achieved you and others ask. Frankly he is giving Canadians hope that we may have a serious government after 10 years of virtue signalling. The situation with Trump is complex and Canada being ten times smaller and too dependent on the USA, thanks to Mulroney has led us here. Trump could very well declare CUSMA dead by the stroke of a pen, then what. Will Mr Poilievre become our saviour, a man who has achieved nothing in 20+ years in politics. Who has no idea nor solution. There is no one else in politics right now and Carney is doing very well so far. Canada is not in a position to punch the USA, never will be. So patience is of the essence and it may take 5 to 10 yrs to build new solid relationships with other blocks and forget the USA. Canadians also have a large part to play, stop wishing we can go back to prior to Trump and work on Asia, Europe and Latin America for new commercial deals. PM Carney cannot do it all by himself.
I will address the performance of Michael Sabia, the Clerk of the Privy Council. Based on my information, he (and his two deputies, Fox and Drouin) are not doing much by way of strategic planning. Instead, they (and their political masters) seem to be stuck on fire-fighting.
Don't get me wrong--we can't let fires burn out of control.
But, if the reports I've heard are correct, Sabia and company are NOT doing much long-term strategic planning (including s-e-r-i-o-u-s public service reform).
Gkeller: 65+ old women...seriously? I think your "leader" has much bigger issues beyond this segment of the population. For example: no real-life experience except being a pit-bull in the HoC.
Good to see the Panel back in business with it's usual level-headed analysis.
Good candid exchange and comments from the three panelists.

Thank you for this.

I hope this isn't the case...

I’m in the 65+ women category, and I think Pierre is more pussy cat than pit bull.
