Was Carney's speech an election preview?

Update: 2026-01-22

Description

After Prime Minister Mark Carney's second speech on Canada's place in a changing global order this week, former prime minister Brian Mulroney's chief of staff David McLaughlin and former Liberal campaign co-chair David Herle discuss whether Carney is meeting the moment at home — and why Herle says global issues are '100 miles of bad road' for Conservatives. Then, the Power Panel discusses whether Carney's speeches are preparing Canadians for difficult days ahead, or preparing them to go to the ballot box.
