Why Carney's $2.3-billion EV program is vibes over reality

Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer discuss Carney government's multi-billion dollar auto industry strategy, and its attempt to walk back unrealistic EV mandates while preserving Ottawa's climate commitments.

In the second half, they discuss major developments this week in the world of Artificial Intelligence and what it means for different industries and workers, including the so-called "laptop class."
