The Bridge with Peter Mansbridge · Good Talk -- Was This The Week Canada Really Changed? · 18 Sep 2026 podcast

Some things just don't age very well.

And his Canada is broken thing, which he's so over indexed and invested on because nothing could go wrong because he was going to beat Justin Trudeau.

That still stuck to him.

And if he wants to be a different kind of leader with a successful future, he has to enter the Canada is strong and going to get stronger conversation because that is where the puck has gone to overuse that metaphor.

yeah i i think that's right i think the prime minister is fairly you know explicit yesterday or the day before about there's going to be debate there's going to be you know disagreement and people are going to get to see it and presumably at some point they're going to have the opportunity to make a choice now i mean that presumes that that an election

would give them a choice between the conservatives or the conservatives in the NDP and the BQ or some combination thereof saying we're against this and the liberals saying we're for it.

That's an assumption.

It might or might not be the case.

But I think we're a long way from there because I think Chantal's right that there's some

There's a lot of work that needs to be done to sort of dig into what this could mean.

But some elements of it, I think, could move more quickly than others, separate and apart from some sort of formal designation.

And probably that's the pace that the prime minister wants to be on, because some of the issues do have some urgency to them, rather than think about how do we build a perfect structure.

How do we solve the urgent and build solutions for the long term?

I think should be the mindset and probably is the mindset.

I agree with what Chantal said about the starting point of Mulroney and Reagan and that this was a little bit like that.

But I think that there is a difference.

The world before Mulroney went to that stage with Reagan was,

was not the disrupted world exactly that we see right now.

And one of the preconditions for this conversation having taken root so quickly in Europe is that Europe is

very dynamically interested in what unwinding the United States has done to the defense and security arrangements, especially in the context of Russia playing the role that it's playing in Ukraine, especially given the rise in importance of China.
