Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer discuss the political implications of Prime Minister Mark Carney's pipeline deal with Alberta Premier Danielle Smith. They debate whether Carney's leadership represents a fundamental shift in Liberal politics or simply a "new personality cult" in light of his reversal of various Trudeau-era policies. They also cover what his centre-right positioning on different issues is a challenge for Pierre Poilievre and the Conservatives.

In the second half, they explore the complex conditions embedded in the Carney-Smith pipeline agreement, including whether a private sector proponent will step forward and and industrial carbon pricing's future impact on Canadian competitiveness.
