‘It’s just ugly for Prime Minister Carney’: The Roundtable reacts to Canada’s disappointing new economic numbers

Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer discuss Canada’s economic contraction in Q2 driven by a decline in exports and business investment, while the U.S. economy grew over the same period, and the economic and fiscal consequences leading up to the fall budget. In the back half of the show, they discuss how these economic developments may affect the Canada-U.S. trade negotiations including the Carney government’s own sense of urgency.
