Front Burner

Front Burner is a daily news podcast that takes you deep into the stories shaping Canada and the world. Each morning, from Monday to Friday, host Jayme Poisson talks with the smartest people covering the biggest stories to help you understand what’s going on. We’re Canada’s number one news podcast and a trusted source of Canadian news. We cover Canadian news and Canadian politics, Justin Trudeau, Pierre Poilievre, the Donald Trump administration, the upcoming 2025 Canadian election, provincial politics from Alberta, British Columbia, Ontario, and politicians Danielle Smith, David Eby and Doug Ford. We cover Toronto, Vancouver, and Calgary as well as other municipalities across Canada. In this Canadian election year, Front Burner will be focusing more on Canadian politics. After Trudeau’s departure as Prime Minister and leader of the Liberals, we are covering the Liberal leadership race and frontrunners Mark Carney and Chrystia Freeland. We will take a close look at the Conservatives and Opposition Leader Pierre Poilievre as well as other leaders like Jagmeet Singh from the NDP and Quebec’s Yves-François Blanchet from the Bloc Québécois during the 2025 Canadian federal election. The podcast goes beyond Ottawa and digs deeper into major election issues like jobs, the economy, immigration, cost of living, housing and rental costs, taxes and tariffs, democracy and technology. The Front Burner daily podcast covers Canadian news from every province and territory: Alberta, British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Ontario, Quebec, Manitoba, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and Labrador, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Nunavut, Northwest Territories and Yukon. We cover news from major cities like Ottawa, Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary and Edmonton. When U.S. President Donald Trump declares he wants to make Canada the 51st state, and decides to implement tariffs, Front Burner has an analysis into what is happening. We cover Elon Musk’s DOGE. We cover the latest in technology from the rise of bitcoin and crypto, the future of TikTok, Meta, artificial intelligence, influencers, and more. Look to our archives to see fact-checked stories about infrastructure, fascism, border security, immigration, Pierre Poilievre, Justin Trudeau, the Republican Party, American politics, Canadian politics, India, China, Trump’s tariffs, Mark Carney, Elon Musk, Toronto, technology, artificial intelligence, international students, healthcare, and inflation. We cover global news like the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza, the ceasefire, the Ukraine-Russia war, and the U.S. economy, DOGE, and U.S. politics. Front Burner is a part of your morning news routine. Whether you’re in Toronto or Vancouver or Washington, this is the news that matters to Canadians. We take a look at the economy and break it down from the budget to interest rate hikes to inflation to recessions to jobs to the cost of living. We look at the policy around housing, Canadian housing supply, and what this means for first-time home buyers, renters, and those with a mortgage. We look at technology, from AI to the manosphere to social media like Meta, Twitter, Facebook, and more. We look at influential newsmakers like Elon Musk and influential technology industries like crypto and AI.

Listening to today’s episode, I feel the guest has forgotten the lessons in resilience and resistance Ukraine has gifted the world.
Carbon Tax episode
2024/09/23
Let me first say I love Front Burner and listen regularly. However, I found myself so triggered by Arno Kopeokey’s commentary during this podcast. Trotting out the government talking points about 80% of Canadians getting back more than they pay in tax and the other part about the tax not having any measurable affect on market prices. The evidence says something entirely different. I am so disappointed your podcast did not explore any further than the previously covered aspects while you sailed past some obvious issues that would have made this a standout discussion. Surely you would want to be ground breaking and more thorough than this? Instead it just reinforced the Federal government position and we were none the wiser after Arno was done. No mention of the fact all Canadians are required to pay the tax but only families, as a whole, get the refund. It is smoke and mirrors. As one tiny example; shipping companies are adding a sizable fuel surcharge to their deliveries and it is certainly not 1.1%. Common sense dictates this would have a significant affect on retail costs. You did not discuss Canada’s meager contribution to global greenhouse gases and whether it was fair to ramp up carbon tax on Canadians while other countries are just rubbishing the progress we make. You also failed to discuss the fact some parts of Canada have not developed and do not offer alternatives to carbon based fuels (NL is one of them). We are sitting ducks here in NL. Perhaps most annoying to me is the fact our government feels no obligation to combine the escalating tax with National programs and/or initiatives to reduce the enormous number of diesel trucks on our roads or make it really affordable to convert to electric heating. The government is only interested in taxing Canadians to submission relying on their belief the tax will make them rich and force greenhouse gas reductions. They need to be involved if they really mean it.
Why not just listen to CBC?

This podcast just pushes a woke liberal agenda. Useless podcast.
Excellent News & Analysis

I’ve been a fan of this show for many years. I’m in TX USA, and find the Canadian view refreshing and interesting. I enjoy the Canadian focus as well as their analysis of their southern neighbor. I think it’s a necessary follow.
