The escalating trade conflict between Canada and the U.S. isn't just an economic crisis, it is fracturing the North American security architecture. In Season 2, Episode 3 of The Tariff Home Companion, host Rambod Behboodi and co-host Stephen de Boer (Wellington Advocacy) are joined by Erin O'Toole, former Leader of Canada's Official Opposition, for a blunt assessment of Canada's economic and national security vulnerability.

As the U.S. leverages tariffs to force supply chain shifts, the panel examines the myth of "equal partnership" in North American defence. From the F-35 procurement dilemma to the concept of "Fortress North America," O'Toole argues that Canada must urgently develop sovereign industrial capacity and permanently diversify its security alliances through frameworks like CANZUK and European partnerships.
