EPISODE SUMMARY

In this episode of Pivot, featuring Kara Swisher and Narrator, Can We Get Back Together With Canada? | Pivot explores tariffs, tourism, and tech: Kara and Scott reassess US–Canada ties Recorded live in Toronto, Kara Swisher and Scott Galloway use humor and sharp commentary to explore the fraying yet interdependent relationship between the US and Canada. They link US policy failures—government shutdowns, FAA underfunding, tariffs, SNAP cuts, ICE raids—to broader questions about economic vitality, safety, and national character. The conversation moves from air travel and AI’s economic and geopolitical stakes to the asymmetry of US–Canada trade and how tariffs are driving Canada to diversify away from America. They close by debating progressive politics, tourism declines, masculinity, and how AI-fueled disinformation and social media demand aggressive regulation, especially to protect young people.
