Mark Carney's First Big Failure
Summary
Jesse Brown and Harrison Lohman critique Prime Minister Mark Carney’s speech on anti-Semitism, calling it a lackluster performance that failed to name specific threats or enact tangible policies. They discuss the controversial composition of a new advisory council and rumors that Carney acted to preempt US asylum offers for Canadian Jews. The hosts also mock the Toronto Star’s AI-driven investigation into Doug Ford’s mayoral powers and note the exclusion of media from Carney’s meeting with China’s ambassador.
