Has the West won the economic argument under a Liberal PM?

Cole Hogan, an Ottawa-based conservative strategist, reflects on something remarkable happening in the nation’s capital: a Liberal prime minister embracing the economic arguments Western Canadians have made for decades. But even among conservative skeptics, there are differing views on Mark Carney’s vision for Canada, particularly his claim of a fundamental rupture with the United States and the push to diversify trade. Is it a costly distraction from Canada’s most important economic relationship, or an opportunity to advance Western priorities? Hogan joins Alberta Edge to explore these competing perspectives, why Western Canadians may embrace Carney’s policies without embracing his party, and what this shifting political landscape means for the future of Canadian conservatism.
