The Bridge with Peter Mansbridge · Good Talk: Carney and Trump Are Talking, What Does That Tell Us? · 11 Sep 2026 podcast

I think the Prime Minister gave a scrum yesterday and he was talking about um

Whether or not Canada was going to react to the latest round of Trump retaliation to our retaliation.

And he talked about the fact that some of the things that uh the president did this week

uh weren't as aggressive as they as the rhetoric suggested that they would be.

Um and I think that was an interesting point for him to make because from my vantage point anyway, what's going on in the United States is that Donald Trump is in trouble.

He knows he's in trouble politically.

He doesn't deal with trouble the same way that other politicians do.

He uh he doubles down sometimes on the things that that cause trouble for him.

But the evidence that he knows that his party is uh

is facing a pretty significant threat um in a relatively short period of time in the midterms elec uh midterm elections.

Um, he's not oblivious to that.

Oh.

We saw it in the way that he handled some of the you know, his some of his speech in in Dallas, I think it was earlier this week or maybe just last night, um, offering five thousand dollars to everybody in the United States if they would reelect the Republicans uh to control the House and the and the Senate.

But the more important dynamic from my standpoint as it relates to the Canada US trade thing is

There are a lot of Democrats who are now campaigning to win office in a matter of weeks, and they're talking about the tariff war with Canada that Donald Trump started as part of that.

That's not their only focus, and they're putting it in the context of what it's doing to the cost of living for Americans.

But the tariff issue has become

um an anvil around the neck of a lot of Republican uh candidates.

And you can see it in how they're dealing with it a little bit too.

So it doesn't surprise me that the president is interested in talking, and it doesn't surprise me at all that the Prime Minister would have a conversation uh from time to time with the President during this period.
