Good Talk - Let's Call It The G6, Forget About Trump
6/12/202653 min
Lots of good talk on Good Talk this week, starting with Chantal and Bruce on Mark Carney's trip to Paris today and his talks with Emmanuel Macron. France is hosting the G7 next week, but for many, it's really a G6 with Donald Trump's America, no friend of the group. That and CUSMA and social media bans top the discussion agenda today.

Are you ready for Good Talk? [upbeat music] And hello there, Peter Mansbridge here, along with Chantal Hébert and Bruce Anderson. It is your Friday Good Talk session. So here we are. The globe-trotting prime minister is spin the dial, and he is in Paris today. And fulfilling his duties as the outgoing leader of the G7, he's meeting with the incoming leader of the G7, which is Emmanuel Macron. So that's why he's in Paris today, and will be next week when the, um, G7 takes place in France. Um, G7 was called the G7 for the seven nations who are in it, but a lot of people now talk about it as the G6. Not that there aren't seven nations there, but there are only six that seem to be of a similar nature in terms of where they'd like to see things be. And the seventh, of course, is Donald Trump's America, which seems to be on the sidelines for many of these people for different reasons. Um, so going into this, I, I wouldn't mind starting on this, this, this weekend, seeing as it's happening kind of right now. Um, Bruce, what's your take on the Carney-Macron meeting in light of this with the background of, you know, G7 versus G6?
