Our show Gloves Off with @stephenmarche.bsky.social is climbing the podcast charts. Why? Season 2 is all about winning: Trade, tech, defense, alliances, economy. Canadians want to fight, and we tried to show the ways we can win. We all left the season more optimistic, and I think you will too.

Defense strategy must be a middle power resilience strategy - and it can be. That's my main learning from Gloves Off Ep. 5. Me, Stephen Marche and Vasiliki (Vass) Bednar work through it on the Cross Check aftershow. lnkd.in/gPtqnng5

We can't win this trade war with the US, but we can win the next one. Appeared on @stephenmarche.bsky.social's new podcast Gloves Off (lnkd.in/gtc3qFRa) to talk about whether free trade with America has really been good for Canada and what a pivot toward a Middle Power Alliance could look like.

Canada didn't "steal" American auto jobs. We didn't even take them nicely. Some facts about Trumps' latest lie in the trade war: * As a % of population, Canada has underperformed the US in auto manufacturing jobs since 1992 * Both countries have about the same # of jobs as 1992 #Canadasky #elbowsup

In the depths of the pandemic, Chrystia Freeland acted to help save small businesses across this country by rescuing the commercial rent relief program. While the focus will be on the politics of her resignation, that's what I'm thinking about today. Thank you for your service.
