PODCAST: The Daily Review for Wed. November 4th, 2026

The balance of power in both the U.S. Congress and the U.S. Senate has shifted from Republican Red to Democrat Blue. And it was a clear-as-crystal directive to the Big Cheese. During what some are calling the ‘Blue Tsunami’, the Democrats swept races across Texas, Iowa, Ohio, South Carolina, and Kansas. And in Maine, after spending nearly 30 years in the U.S. Senate, Susan Collins has been kicked out of her seat. Americans are not happy with Donald Trump’s leadership. They want to see change ahead of the 2028 U.S. Election. What does this mean for Canada’s bargaining position in the trade war? Does this Democratic victory on Tuesday give us any leverage? Either way, a former U.S. Ambassador to Canada says the Americans have damaged their relationship with their closest neighbour, and he wants the new U.S. Congress to start repairing bridges the day it takes office in January. Bruce Heyman joins Kristy Cameron on Ottawa Now.
