Canada-US trade is being negotiated against a backdrop of a premier's private jet controversy, airline consolidations, and a summer travel season that is starting to feel less certain by the week. Jamie Ellerton and Lindsay Broadhead have different reads on all of it.

What is the actual cost of a political flip-flop when trust is already thin? What does a 50% jump in flight prices do to the trip that is already half-planned? The conversation keeps circling back to what Canadians can actually count on right now, and the two answers in the room do not match.

Lindsay sees wind at Canada's back on trade. Jamie sees structural limits that do not resolve quickly. Both of them have been watching this long enough that neither read should be dismissed.

Topics: Canada-US trade relations, Doug Ford private jet, Canadian summer travel 2026, trade diversification, airline consolidations
