Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer discuss the escalating Iran war, focusing on President Trump's erratic leadership and its economic fallout for Canada. They examine how the war threatens Canada's contracting economy while potentially creating long-term opportunities for Canadian energy exports. In the second half, they explore AI's transformative impact on policy-making, detailing how AI tools can now generate sophisticated government documents. They argue that this new development democratizes the policy development process and disrupts traditional think tanks and consulting firms.
