## Resource

Amanda Galbraith, co-founder and president of Oyster Group, and David Coletto, founder and chair of Abacus Data, join Sean Speer to discuss Prime Minister Carney's ambitious first 15 months in office. They examine his Senate appointments, pipeline deals, and increased defence spending, arguing that the prime minister is operating with extraordinary political license due to perceived threats from the United States. In the second half, they also analyze Pierre Poilievre's struggles with internal discipline within the Conservative Party, as well as the party's unclear strategic purpose in this wartime-like political environment.
