The long-awaited Carney-Trump summit in the Oval Office left the
Canadian delegation feeling encouraged, though the U.S. president
still taunted the prime minister over Canada becoming the 51st
American state.

Former Quebec premier Jean Charest, also a member of Prime
Minister Mark Carney’s Council on Canada-U.S. Relations, joins
the show to explain why he believes Canada could ultimately have
reason to thank the president.

Then, two former top political staffers share their thoughts on
the critical meeting and discuss the future of the Canada-U.S.
trade and security relationship and how it could influence
Carney’s cabinet picks.

Plus, as the Conservative Party asks itself tough questions about
what to do next following a stinging election loss, Globe and
Mail senior reporter Stephanie Levitz compares notes with
Catherine Cullen on what she’s hearing inside the Conservative
caucus and whether Pierre Poilievre is safe as party leader.

Finally, MPs who lose their seats in the election are quietly
packing up and saying goodbye. Liberal Marc Serré, Conservative
Rick Perkins, New Democrat Peter Julian and the Bloc’s Julie
Vignola share the lessons they’ve learned from hard losses, and
the joys and sacrifices of political life.

Jean Charest, former Quebec premier and former deputy prime
minister

Gerry Keller, chief of staff to former foreign affairs John
Baird
