‘Carney’s enjoying the international role’: The Roundtable on an action-packed United Nations General Assembly
Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer discuss key developments from the UN General Assembly, focusing on Trump’s confrontational rhetoric toward Europe and the implications of his administration’s hostility to European governance models. They also examine Carney’s international engagement during the UN General Assembly, questioning whether his focus on global forums and European relationships risks alienating the Trump administration while neglecting pressing domestic issues like housing and affordability.
In the back half of the show, they address the challenging media landscape facing independent outlets, reflecting the Western Standard‘s difficult decision to accept government subsidies after years of opposition. They discuss how this highlights the broader debate over media independence and the distorting effects of state subsidies on both journalism and the economy.
