CHECK BACK HERE EVERY FRIDAY MORNING FOR A NEW POLL!

RESULTS ARE BROADCAST LIVE ON THE JERRY AGAR SHOW FRIDAYS AT 11:50 AM.

Friday, September 11, 2026

It’s Friday, so that means Touchdowns & Fumbles is coming up at the end of the show. Here’s the item we’d like your vote on:

Prime Minister Mark Carney is taking a softer tone with the US on trade talks, describing Donald Trump’s latest counter-counter tariffs as “modest.”

Was that a communications Touchdown or Fumble?

Is Carney smart to downplay the tensions at this point, essentially saying the latest tit-for-tat from the Americans is nothing to get wound up about? If you think the cooler language is the right message, VOTE TOUCHDOWN.

Or is it a missed opportunity to - as Carney himself has said - to “negotiate from a position of strength?” If you think the PM should be holding a harder line than he is, VOTE FUMBLE.

Bob Reid of Broadway Strategy will join Jerry Agar at 11:50. We’ll have your vote results and get his take on this and other Communications Plays of the Week on Touchdowns and Fumbles.
