David Frum: Trump’s main character syndrome & how the U.S. lost the Canadian election
Leading author, journalist and thinker David Frum and The Hub's editor-at-large Sean Speer assess the Trump’s administration's first 100 days in office, including the chaos caused by its ill-conceived tariffs and likelihood of a self-caused recession. They also cover this week’s Canadian federal election results, including the lessons for the Conservative Party, and how the new Carney government should handle forthcoming trade negotiations with the Trump administration.
