Canada’s turning point?

Leaders on the Frontier: Is the “Building One Canadian Economy” initiative in Saskatoon on June 2 a reason for new hope or little more than a photo op? Guests law professor Bruce Pardy and Canadian businessman and former politician, Dan McTeague, join host David Leis to unpack the issues on the table, ranging from Mark Carney’s framing of Canada as an “energy superpower” (when his energy agenda is net-zero) to the menace of foreign interference and Canada’s directly or indirectly compromised elites. Can the country be fixed? Prof. Pardy looks to Alberta’s bid for independence as the hope for Canada the Saskatoon summit could not provide: a radical reset to escape entrenched issues that doesn’t rely on government solutions. The departure of Alberta, he asserts, could trigger a domino effect, forcing Canada to confront its complacency and decline, and address the fundamental crisis the country is facing (or rather, looking away from).
