    Pierre’s Polycrisis

    This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit hatchetmedia.substack.com Support us at hatchetmedia.substack.com It’s week two of the federal election and Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives are off to a rocky start. There’s been reporting in most major news outlets about turmoil behind-the-scenes. And high ranking staffers have been openly criticizing his campaign and pushing for a change in direction. The drama has pretty much eclipsed everything else for the federal Conservatives, so that’s what’s on the agenda for our second episode on the federal election. We dig into the whole saga and break down everything that’s happened so far. This episode is only available to paid supporters. Please consider supporting our work!

    "They're Ready to Defend This Country": Canada's Military in the Age of Trump

    With the American government regularly threatening annexation on a weekly basis, there’s one question that I’ve had on the top of my mind — what does the Canadian military think about all of this? We’re well past the point where anyone can argue that this is a joke or that Trump isn’t being serious. I don’t think it’s a surprise for anyone that the Canadian Armed Forces are almost entirely dependent on the United States. And partially because of that fact, senior Canadian commanders often have a positive view of the American military. So has anything changed? How long can we rely on the U.S.? And what does the average enlisted man and woman think about the prospect of an invasion from the South? There’s no one better to help answer some of these questions than David Pugliese, who has covered the Canadian Armed Forces for the Ottawa Citizen for three decades. We put all of these questions to him and more.

    Mark, Pierre & the Great Campaign of 2025

    This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit hatchetmedia.substack.com Support us at hatchetmedia.substack.com The federal election is here! And I think we all know this is going to be a wild one. The last few months have already been some of the strangest in modern Canadian history. But worry not, The Hatchet is here to help understand everything you need to know about this race. In addition to our in-depth coverage, we’re also launching a weekly podcast that will air during the course of the campaign that breaks down everything that’s happening. But this will only be available to our paid supporters, so I really can’t think of a better time to sign up and help support independent Canadian journalism. On this first instalment, Jordan and I walk through what the leaders of the three major federal parties need to do win — or at least not embarrass themselves — during this campaign.

    Canada’s Corporate Welfare Catastrophe

    This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit hatchetmedia.substack.com There’s a line about Canada that gets tossed around a lot. It comes from Harold Innis, the father of Canadian economic history, who said that Canadians have been relegated to “hewers of wood and drawers of water.” An…

    Hair of the Doug

    This was the week where Doug Ford finally became Prime Minister. Okay, so technically it’s Mark Carney who was actually sworn in as PM. But for a few weeks, Doug Ford appeared to be leading the nation. After all, it was Ford that was invited down to the Washington for a meeting with Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick. The feds just sort of tagged….along. And there were two people in particular that I wanted to hear ruminating on this moment, two of the longest-standing Fordologists in the land, the former hosts of Wag the Doug, Jonathan Goldsbie and Allison Smith. And luckily for us, they wanted to talk too. Wag the Doug, which used to air on the Canadaland network, where Jordan and I both worked, has been off the air since September. And in their last episode, they ruminated on how in some ways, Doug Ford was the physical embodiment of Ontario, a man who understands the province better than anyone. But my question this week has been, does Doug Ford also understand Canada better than anyone else? And so we brought Allison and Jonathan into the Hatchet studios (my living room) to hear their thoughts on what might be the most interesting moment in Doug Ford’s incredibly strange political career.

    Let the Southern B******s Freeze in the Dark

    This is starting to get ridiculous. One day we’re being tariffed to all hell, and the next day, the Trump administration says that they’re putting the trade war on pause for another month. But what we have to understand is that, from the American perspective, this is an effective strategy. Tarrifs are a tax that consumers end up paying for. So by continually pushing off the date that they come into effect, the U.S. avoids the economic pain — but Canada’s economy remains in a state of perpetual turmoil. There’s only one way out of this for us — we need to hit the Americans as hard as we possibly can, using every weapon in our arsenal. And we need to do it now.

    Will Reconciliation Survive the Trade War?

    There’s been a surge of Canadian nationalism over the last month, and understandably so. I’ve been feeling it too, I think it’d be hard not to. You really couldn’t grow a better villain in a lab than Donald Trump to actually rally Canadians in this way. And with that has come a good amount of talk of both Canadian history and the need for modern-day nation-building. That’s a good impulse. This is not the first time that the United States has presented itself as an existential threat to our country and there’s so much we can learn from the past. And I don’t think anyone would argue against the need for more infrastructure, for us to build a more resilient economy that can withstand the trade war that we’re now in the middle of. But there’s a funny thing that seems to happens whenever Canadian nationalism surges. Indigenous people get left behind. Ten years ago, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, led by the honourable Murray Sinclair, released its findings. And that reckoning helped usher in a real shift in the attitudes of many Canadians towards Indigenous peoples and their rights. But things appear to be changing. Companies that just a year ago were eager to tell anyone about their commitment to reconciliation are quietly shutting down anti-discrimination programs. Governments across the country are promising to fast-track resource projects, heavily implying that they won’t let pesky things like Indigenous land rights get in the way. And it’s First Nations that will be impacted the most by conflict between the US and Canada. The Jay Treaty, which was signed in 1794, gives First Nations the right to live and work on both sides of the border, without visas. And so those are some of the many reasons why I wanted to talk to Niigaan Sinclair. Niigaan is, amongst many other things, the city columnist for the Winnipeg Free Press, and in my opinion one of the best in the country. He’s also the author of Winipek: Visions of Canada from an Indigenous Centre, which makes the case that many of the solutions to violence and injustice against Indigenous peoples can be found in Winnipeg. Our conversation covers a lot of ground. From the ongoing trade war, to the death of DEI and Canadian’s changing relationship with reconciliation to the rise of Wab Kinew. You’re not going to want to miss it.

    The Man Behind Trump's War on Canada

    This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit hatchetmedia.substack.com We all knew that if Donald Trump got reelected, things would get chaotic pretty fast. But what I don’t think anyone anticipated was just how much Canada would be in the new administration’s cross-hairs. And there’s been one question no one really seems to be able to give a definitive answer to — why us? During the election campaign, Trump would rant and rave about Mexico and China and even Europe, but Canada barely ever came up. And now, all of a sudden, we’re being targeted for more aggressive tariffs than China. And Trump is threatening us with annexation on a weekly basis. Frankly, I haven’t heard many good explanations as to what the hell is actually going on. The best theory I’ve come across is from journalist Justin Ling. He says that the best way to understand the current administration’s obsession with Canada is to look at one man — Peter Navarro. Navarro serves as Trump’s senior counselor for trade and manufacturing and has the direct ear of the president. And according to Ling, he has it in for Canada.
