Summary
Amanda Galbraith, co-founder and president of Oyster Group, and David Coletto, founder and chair of Abacus Data, join Sean Speer to discuss whether wildfires will become a defining political issue for the Carney government, drawing parallels to how the Harper government responded to climate concerns in 2007-2008. In the second half, they explore rising support for socialism among younger Canadians, debating whether it represents a genuine ideological shift or simply a desire for systemic change. They also address generational politics, democratic representation, and why younger voters feel disconnected from current economic and political systems.
