Mike Wixson hosts a roundtable with Paul Micucci and Jim Lang breaking down the world tour on “Can Force One,” what (if anything) Canada brought home, and what it all means heading into the Nov 4 budget.
We cover: The new CC-330 “Can Force One” and why the optics matter
A country-by-country look at the PM’s trips — press releases vs. real deals (Indonesia, UK/EU, Ukraine, Mexico, Asia)
Big spends abroad (Ukraine support, AUS radar, UK R&D) vs. lack of reciprocal wins for Canada
Trade reality: still ~70% tied to the U.S., and how the Reagan/tariff ad drama complicates it Mining and resources without the pipelines/roads to ship them (risk vs. reality)
What Australia and South Korea did differently (long-horizon industrial strategy)
Internal roadblocks: interprovincial barriers, cost of lumber, stalled projects Why this might be the most consequential Canadian budget in years—and whether it triggers an election
