The Bridge with Peter Mansbridge · Reporter's Notebook - Raj and Russo on Canada/Us and Much More · 2 Jun 2026 podcast

So we're using our elbows to nudge business again.

to business people who are close to Trump to do some of our bidding for us.

That's what New York was about last week as well.

Going to Republicans in that audience and saying, you guys donate money to this president.

You guys trade with Canada.

We need your help.

There are fears.

There are fears about some of the people who might do it.

I'll come back to that in a second.

I think Stephen Harper was always going to be involved.

He wanted to wait for a couple of things.

Number one, he wanted to wait to be sure that those in favor of Alberta independence actually reached the threshold.

And then he wanted to make sure that there was going to be a question.

And then he wanted to see the question.

Once all those things were determined, he was always going to play a role, I'm told.

You know, it's interesting when you ask

Daniel Smith, when you ask Mitch Sylvester and other people, would they be doing this if a Conservative government had been elected last April rather than a Liberal one?

Mitch Sylvester said no, and Daniel Smith only lowered the threshold the day after a Liberal government was elected last year.

So there does there there is, it seems, real faith, real currency, even among those who, A, like Premier Smith, who are putting forward the referendum and B, those who are in favor of independence.

They seem to put real currency, valuable currency in Harper or in Poiliev as well.
