That weasel should be immediately arrested if he sets foot in this country.
Talking over someone’s responses
4 days ago
On today’s show the host Ms Rosemary Barton spoke over the response being given by one of her panelist making impossible to hear the response nor the cascade of of worths being thrown over the voice of the panelist. For an experienced host she should know how to control her self and calmly listen what the panelist have to say. That is why I follow the show…to hear what the members of the panel have to say and not the uncontrolled cascade of worths from Rosemary Barton.
Good updates on relevant Canadian issues

Rosemary Barton does a good job moderating, and the questions posed are poignant and well researched. Chantal Hébert and Andrew Coyne are great panelists, with Andrew in particular presenting fairly non-partisan. Althia Raj, while clearly intelligent and knowledgeable, can explain excessively, and steam roll the others in attempts to get her point across. Though I suppose the variety of personalities and perspectives is better than the alternative. Overall, this podcast is a great way to get updates on relevant Canadian issues.
Great insights

One of my favourite podcasts. Love the different viewpoints and insights. All the panelists very strong. Feels a bit rushed at times. Would love for it to be a bit longer.
