‘Dizzying’: The Roundtable breaks down a turbulent week in Canada-U.S. trade talks
Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer discuss the turbulent week in Canada-U.S. trade relations, from Prime Minister Carney’s underwhelming primetime address and mixed signals on sectoral trade deals to President Trump’s explosive reaction to the Ontario government’s Reagan ad. They explore how the apparent breakdown in trade negotiations may actually benefit the Carney government politically by justifying deficit spending and empowering domestic interests who prefer the status quo over meaningful economic reform.
On the back half of the show, they discuss how modern conservatism is drifting away from Reagan-inspired principles of limited government and free markets, with conservatives increasingly embracing culture war politics and deficit spending over economic liberty and fiscal discipline.”

Ah Moloch, I thought I recognized you. Never gone, but all too quickly forgotten. You’re calling yourself “Government” these days I see. Head of bull and body of hot air, same as ever.
The deal is the same I take it? We consign our children to the care of your trustworthy hands and you take them unto your brazen womb. The fire is stoked a final time, then we who remain begin the danse macabre, hoping to pass out before the glow subsides and inflation comes to collect what fate is owed.
