Rudyard and Janice open this week’s Friday Focus with the surprising events out of Ottawa this week: Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland resigning in a blistering rebuke of the Prime Minister just hours before she was due to present the fall economic statement.

And what happens if the country is forced to wait through months of a liberal leadership race without a functioning government to face the existential challenges from the incoming Trump administration? In the second half of the show, Rudyard and Janice talk about Trump’s joke that Canada should become America’s 51st state. Should Canadians take Trump’s joke as a serious threat? Is this the beginning of a sinister plan to bring Canada into the US?
