"You can't be in a permanent campaign," says the guy whose party has been in full-on campaign mode since about 2013. I think Poilievre might come to appreciate not having won this election. The Liberals will have to sleep in the bed they shit in for a decade. And kudos to Polievre for making the Liberals adopt (or campaign on adopting) Conservative policies. He's an extremely influential politician, whether you like him or not.
Do you suppose the remnants of the NDP will just quietly fold up their tent and merge into the liberals or alternately simply acknowledge that they will retain their NDP identity but vote with the liberals to once again leave Canada at the mercy of a coalition government?
Dr. Lee was a little weak on international economics and trade policy. First, prior to Trump's tariffpalooza tariffs between more adv economies were extremely low (<10%) and only on select goods (autos). Non-tariff barriers (regulatory and quantitative restrictions) were more important and better explain why Matt (and I) cannot get good European butter. Even with zero tariffs and no trade barriers, the US would run a trade deficit as long as investment exceeds savings, since this requires capital inflows.
On capital inflows and investment. Currently, foreign holdings of US government debt are larger than foreign direct investment, so the presentation of the foreign excitement to "invest" in the US might also be well explained by the desire to hold the world reserve currency, the $US, in the form of US government debt. The Trump program of undermining the $US role in trade will mean more expensive borrowing costs and a reduction in the security and policy advantages of having global trade and currency movements pass through US clearing houses. Kenneth Rogoff presented this very well on the Ezra Klein show.
If you can get Barry Einchengreen on to talk about economic disasters, you should be able to get a more knowledgeable guest for trade policy.
Polievre gives many, many women the "heebie jeebies". It's not fixable. He will never be PM. He has peaked. The Liberals would love to run against him again. They have his number.
