#204 Carney Compliance Condition
If you’re young enough, the Canada everyone is fighting tooth and nail to save is a country you’ve mostly heard about but never lived in or experienced.

Mark Carney is a serious politician in an age of deeply unserious politics. He’s become more than the guy running Canada’s government…he’s become the world’s poster boy for the anti-Trump resistance. But the more host Noor Azrieh talks to Canadians, the more it feels like Canada handed Carney the keys and decided we didn’t need to watch where he was driving us.
