  1. G7! The One Where Trump Bounces

    1 NGÀY TRƯỚC

    G7! The One Where Trump Bounces

    Canada is hosting the G-7 in Alberta, one of the most consequential meetings yet. Is this Carney’s moment to become a world leader, reorient our economy, and possibly the world order?  With the predictably unpredictable Trump, growing regional wars, rampaging wildfires, and some controversial invitations, there’s a lot of room for error. Could Carney play the role of global power broker?  And the latest on Pierre Poilievre’s one-on-one phone calls, our rekindling relationship with India, and another Liberal bill rushing through.

    Is Carney’s Bill C-2 ‘Much Worse Than Trump’?

    The Liberals’ first piece of legislation, Bill C-2 is a sweeping 139-page omnibus bill. It would allow police to open and inspect mail from Canada Post, restrict cash transfers over $10,000, bolster surveillance, and expand what law enforcement can do…without a warrant. But it will also overhaul our asylum-seeking process. And with the riots below the border, we can’t but ask: are we going down the same path?

    When Politics Ruins Friendships

    Political divides are growing, and it’s not just over basic issues anymore. Increasingly, people are feeling differences in basic conduct, morality, and how they approach discussions. These divisions feel too big to ignore. How do you go about fixing that divide? This week host Sam Konnert sits down with Ryan Broderick to iron things out. And the latest on the grand meeting of the Premiers in Saskatoon, Carney’s new chief of staff pick and Trump’s doubling of the steel and aluminum tariffs.  Host: Sam Konnert Credits: Aviva Lessard (Senior Producer), Sam Konnert (Host/Producer), Noor Azrieh (Producer), Caleb Thompson (Audio Editor and Technical Producer), Max Collins (Director of Audio) Jesse Brown (Editor), Tony Wang (Artwork) Guests: Ryan Broderick Background reading: 'Dude, I'm Done': When Politics Tears Families And Friendships Apart | NPRFriendship in divided times: People don't want to argue with you as much as you think | BBCIt is okay to lose friends due to politics | Johns Hopkins Sponsors:  Douglas is giving our listeners a FREE Sleep Bundle with each mattress purchase.

    Endangered Species – an Interview with an NDP MP

    Earlier this year, Jagmeet Singh laughed off the idea of losing. Now, he’s out and the NDP is in free fall. They lost official party status. They lost ground with key voters, organized labor, and their traditional strongholds in B.C. and the GTA. So, did the NDP learn anything from this catastrophic loss? To answer that question, host Noor Azrieh asks Heather McPherson, one of the 7 NDP MPs left.  And, the latest on King Charles Canadian tour, who’s gonna babysit rowdy MPs in the House of Commons, and maybe it's time to break up with Jenni Byrne…for good this time.

    Can Carney Run Canada Like a CEO?

    After a couple of weeks of pats on the back and trying to find Pierre Poilievre a new home, we’re finally seeing how Mark Carney’s government plans to tackle the country’s biggest problems and who he’s putting in charge to do it. Next week, King Charles is set to kick off parliament with the throne speech, and we’ll finally have MPs back in the House of Commons after months of parliamentary paralysis. We’re at the top of the hill before things start to inevitably crumble, so Host Noor Azrieh asks Nick Taylor-Vaisey what Carney’s first few weeks say about how he’ll be running our country? And the latest on what’s gone down in Terrebone, and where the hell Pierre Poilievre lives.

    Is Carney Actually Tough on Crime?

    Mark Carney promised tougher bail and more police – a “get tough” agenda that the Liberals shoplifted right off the Conservative shelf. Host Noor sits down with Adelina Iftene, a criminal law professor, who calls Mark Carney’s revival of “tough on crime” a “slippery slope”. Will Mark Carney’s revival of “tough on crime” fix anything? What actually makes communities safer? And what happens if we get this wrong? And the latest on Canada’s unemployment problem, the one vote that changed Terrebonne, and Carney’s new cabinet crew Host: Noor Azrieh Credits: Aviva Lessard (Senior Producer), Sam Konnert (Producer), Noor Azrieh (Host/Producer), Caleb Thompson (Audio Editor and Technical Producer), Max Collins (Director of Audio) Jesse Brown (Editor), Tony Wang (Artwork) Guests: Adelina Iftene Background reading: Man known to Toronto police faces 100+ charges in crime spree – City NewsFederal government proposes stricter bail system in new bill – CBC NewsRepeat violent offenders set to spend more time in custody as feds approve bail reform bill – CBC NewsRandall Denley: Ontario can't get tough on crime until it gets tough on court delays – National PostMost Canadians feel as safe or safer than 10 years ago, Nanos poll finds.
