Tesla Tariffs and $2,000 Shoes

Pierre Poilievre's calling out Mark Carney for wearing $2,000 shoes. This, as Poilievre campaigns in a $2,000 parka (and Carney surges in the polls). DOES ANYBODY CARE? We demand more (58:00) in this highly-entertaining episode of Real Talk. 

3:45 | But first...(speaking of nice shoes)...we check in with economist Todd Hirsch. Could Canada stop this trade war in its tracks by hitting Tesla with a 100% tariff? Todd talks steel, aluminium, and the overall impact of this standoff. Do you agree with his take on Canada as the 51st state (39:10)?
