Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer discuss the Carney government's handling of trade negotiations with the U.S., highlighting Prime Minister Mark Carney's reticent leadership style and how it risks hindering the Canadian public's understanding of the benefits and costs of the government's negotiation strategy. On the back half of the show, Rudyard's infamous rants are back, criticizing new government subsidies for the for-profit Just For Laughs Comedy Festival and what it tells us about the lack of a limiting principle on government spending and the state dependency of Canada's cultural industries.
