Is the promised infrastructure worth the $130 per tonne industrial carbon tax that industry warns will kill the sector anyway? We dive into Adrian Dix's wind power gamble in B.C., the slow-motion death of the Canadian auto sector, and the shocking claims that the feds are actively nudging Canadians toward Chinese e-commerce despite massive security warnings. We also look across the pond where Nigel Farage is drawing a line in the sand against Digital IDs, while Keir Starmer clings to power despite a historic wipeout in local elections. From the "shambles of shame" at the CBC to the latest COVID whistleblower, we’re asking the question: Has Canada lost its mind on morality and economic common sense?","meta_description":"On this episode of The Really Big Show, Jim Csek and Iain Burns analyze the potential \"deal with the devil\" between Danielle Smith and Mark Carn…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":7595,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-really-big-show-with-jim-csek-iain-burns-7118319/episodes/china-and-us-open-trade-doors-canada-says-no-to-prosperity/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-really-big-show-with-jim-csek-iain-burns-7118319/china-and-us-open-trade-doors-canada-says-no-to-prosperity.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
