Lindsay Broadhead and Jamie Ellerton take on the double standard hiding inside a lot of government spending outrage, using a very specific and very Canadian example to make the point. It's a conversation about a sign, but it's really about something bigger.

The pair also breaks down a segment of American tourists reacting to tariffs and Canada-US relations, and the gap between what they believe is happening and what's actually going on turns out to be wider than expected. Add in the ongoing debate over Trump's approach to Canada, and Jamie makes the case for why the current pushback strategy might not be working at all.

Buying Canadian gets its own moment too, as the two debate whether lining up for an American-owned brand under Canadian franchise ownership still counts as supporting local.

Topics: government spending hypocrisy, American tourists tariffs, Canada US relations, buying Canadian, gas tax
