Scott Bessent says Canada free-rides on American security. Hannity asks what happens if the US sits it out. The real question: does Canada even want to be a country that can defend itself?
Jim and Iain play Bessent's Fox hit — verbal beatdown, NATO cellar-dwellers, a "best" trade deal Carney walked away from — then flip Hannity's hypothetical. America protects Canada for America. What Canada owes itself is self-respect: a military that used to scare Germany, and a political class that now leaves captains sharing pistols. Carney declared "economic war." He is not an off-the-cuff guy. If he meant it, why is Ottawa still shocked when Washington answers?
