Summary

It's a heavy news week, and we're catching up. As Canadians, we are honour-bound to comment on Mark Carney's acclaimed speech at the World Economic Forum. Is the rules-based international order dead? And what does it mean that our banker-in-chief is the one to bury it? PLUS: A word of solidarity to our friends in Minneapolis.

0:00.0	I've got Canada in my pocket, a little bit of history, a penny and a nickel and a quarter
0:07.3	and a dime mean a lot to you and me.
0:10.1	Siri accidentally activated on my computer, and I lost you, so I didn't hear anything except
0:15.4	a question mark at the end there.
0:17.3	Unbelievable. I can't believe it. Are you recording?
0:20.4	I am recording, And I assume,
0:22.0	you know, your question was one of levity. There's nothing going on at the moment that I need to be
0:26.6	concerned about, nothing happening in the world. Well, why don't we just get into it? Welcome to Michael
0:31.2	and us. I'm Will Sloan, here as always with. Luke Savage, welcome back, everyone. Etc, et cetera,
0:37.0	Mark Carney, the man of the hour,
0:39.2	Prime Minister of Canada. He's our Prime Minister, so I feel we are uniquely qualified to talk
0:44.2	about him. Is there anything else to talk about this week? I would like to introduce a little bit of

1:08.8	ever nominated by accident. Do you know what the movie is, Luke?
1:14.2	Can you answer this trivia question? It was like, I don't know, nine out of ten of the movies that
1:20.0	have won best picture, at least I hope so. It was driving Miss Daisy. It was La La Land.
1:26.6	Well, actually, that one didn't win. But no, what, what's the answer?
1:29.9	It is 1956's high society. Now, you may be wondering, wait, is that the Cole Porter musical starring Bing Crosby, Grace Kelly, and Frank Sinatra? No. It was the Bowery Boys comedy of the same year. The Bowery boys, for those who don't know,
