The Prisoner’s Dilemma but Dallas Brodie Already Defected
Saturday, 24 January, 2026
This week, Arman and Akhil unpack Mark Carney’s Davos speech and what it reveals about the pressure facing middle powers in a fractured global order. We explore how that thinking shows up in Canada’s evolving China strategy. Scott Moe’s enthusiasm for the new canola and EV agreement opens a broader conversation about autos, affordability, and why Carney may be leaning on conservative premiers for political cover. We also examine Dallas Brodie’s failed outreach at UBC after OneBC lost official party status, and what the episode says about political legitimacy on campus. Finally, we turn to the end of BC’s drug decriminalization pilot and place it alongside falling crime rates across major North American cities.
