S30·E5 January 13, 2025 - Mark Carney

Jon Stewart examines how Trump's finger-pointing, and the GOP's threats to withhold disaster relief for the L.A. wildfires are missing the bigger picture: nature is fucked, and helping those in pain shouldn't be a political issue. Mark Carney, Canadian economist and former Governor of the Bank of Canada and Bank of England, chats with Jon Stewart about his country's response to Donald Trump's desire to annex Canada: "It's not going to happen." They also discuss the impending financial crisis Canada faces if Trump follows through on his tariff threats and how the country's upcoming election involving the leader of the opposition Conservative Party Pierre Poilievre mirrors the 2024 U.S. presidential race. Carney also discusses his bona fides as he considers entering the race to replace Trudeau as the leader of Canada's Liberal Party.
