Prime Minister Mark Carney joined the leaders of the U.K. and France in condemning Israel's strike in Qatar on Tuesday, with Carney saying 'such attacks pose a grave risk of escalating conflict throughout the region.' Former Canadian ambassadors and experts discuss whether the peace talks hosted by Qatar can be revived and whether Israel has crossed a line by striking a U.S. ally, with former ambassador to Israel Jon Allen saying U.S. President Donald Trump 'seems unable to control a rogue Israeli prime minister.' Plus, Bloc Québécois deputy house leader Alexis Deschênes discusses how far his party may be willing to support the Liberal government when the House of Commons returns next week.

Government House Leader Steven MacKinnon discusses which spending priorities the Liberals will try to pass before the summer despite forgoing a budget this year. Conservative MP Adam Chambers expands on leader Pierre Poilievre's accusations that skipping the budget sends the wrong message to investors, and goes against Prime Minister Mark Carney's assertion that he has a 'plan' for the economy. CBC's Meagan Fitzpatrick reports on the $14.6-billion deficit unveiled in the Ontario budget today. Plus, the Bloc Québécois announces it's challenging the election result in Terrebonne, where it lost by a single vote.
Political commentator James Mennie is a reporter, columnist and editor at the Montreal Gazette. He can be heard weekdays at 4:05 p.m. on Montreal Now with Aaron Rand.
Elias Makos welcomes back Dan Delmar, Co-founder of the content marketing firm TNKR Media and co-host of the podcast Inspiring Entrepreneurs Canada, and Sue Smith is a Montreal journalist and broadcaster. Prime Minister Mark Carney unveiled his cabinet yesterday. And the names and roles announced have turned quite a few heads. Bloc Québécois candidate Nathalie Sinclair-Desgagné is weighing her options after a judicial recount saw her lose the Terrebonne riding by just one vote to Liberal Tatiana Auguste A new poll shows that Quebecers may be ready for something new… The CAQ has dropped to third place in voter intentions with just 20% support A devastating government report shows that the healthcare network's payroll modernization project costs have already risen from $202 million to $430 million
The long-awaited Carney-Trump summit in the Oval Office left the Canadian delegation feeling encouraged, though the U.S. president still taunted the prime minister over Canada becoming the 51st American state. Former Quebec premier Jean Charest, also a member of Prime Minister Mark Carney's Council on Canada-U.S. Relations, joins the show to explain why he believes Canada could ultimately have reason to thank the president.Then, two former top political staffers share their thoughts on the critical meeting and discuss the future of the Canada-U.S. trade and security relationship and how it could influence Carney's cabinet picks.Plus, as the Conservative Party asks itself tough questions about what to do next following a stinging election loss, Globe and Mail senior reporter Stephanie Levitz compares notes with Catherine Cullen on what she's hearing inside the Conservative caucus and whether Pierre Poilievre is safe as party leader.Finally, MPs who lose their seats in the election are quietly packing up and saying goodbye. Liberal Marc Serré, Conservative Rick Perkins, New Democrat Peter Julian and the Bloc's Julie Vignola share the lessons they've learned from hard losses, and the joys and sacrifices of political life.This episode features the voices of:Jean Charest, former Quebec premier and former deputy prime ministerBrian Clow, former deputy chief of staff to Justin TrudeauGerry Keller, chief of staff to former foreign affairs John BairdStephanie Levitz, senior reporter for the Globe and MailJulie Vignola, former Bloc Québécois MP Rick Perkins, former Conservative MPPeter Julian, former NDP MPMarc Serré, former Liberal MP
The Bank of Canada says the trade war with the U.S. puts Canada's financial stability at risk, and warns the worst scenarios could lead to 'market dysfunction' and pressure on the banking system. U.S. President Donald Trump hails his first trade deal since imposing his tariff regime — but the agreement with the U.K. hasn't been finalized. Plus, Bloc Québécois House leader Christine Normandin discusses how much the party is willing to collaborate with the Liberal minority government.
The federal election results are in. The Liberals have won a fourth term with Mark Carney at the helm, besting Pierre Poilievre's Conservatives but falling just shy of a majority government. While the Tories have much to celebrate, Poilievre's seat loss in Carleton is a major wrinkle that will impact his party for the next few months and possibly years. The NDP also saw its leader Jagmeet Singh lose his seat. Singh said he would resign on election night after leading the party to the worst electoral result in its history. This week, our panel of recovering partisans weighs in on both of those storylines, as well as the challenge Carney faces and how long this 169-seat minority government can survive. In this episode: Karen Vecchio, the outgoing Conservative MP for Elgin—Middlesex—London; David Christopherson, the former NDP MP for Hamilton Centre; and Rodger Cuzner, the former Liberal MP for Cape Breton—Canso, and now an independent Senator. Hosted by Althia Raj. This episode of “It's Political” was produced by Althia Raj and Kevin Sexton. Kevin also mixed this episode. Our theme music is by Isaac Joel. Some of the audio clips this week were sourced from CPAC, CBC and CTV. Note: At the time of the panel recording, latest figures showed the Liberals at 169 seats. After a validation process, Elections Canada has reported that one of those seats has flipped to the Bloc Québecois. There will be a judicial recount for that seat
Conservative MP-elect Jamil Jivani blasted Ontario Premier Ford, accusing him of sabotaging the Conservative's campaign. Alberta Premier Danielle Smith has called for a “reset” to the relationship between Ottawa and her province following news that the federal Liberals won a minority government. The National Post reports that Bloc Québécois Leader Yves-François Blanchet said that he's willing to cooperate with the Liberals for at least one year.

It was a remarkable end to an unprecedented few months in Canadian politics. Mark Carney's Liberals came up just short of a majority with 169 seats, while the Conservatives won 144 seats but did not see their leader, Pierre Poilievre, win his. The New Democrats put up their worst performance in all of their history and saw leader Jagmeet Singh go down to defeat as well. But with seven seats, the NDP still holds the balance of power — as does Yves-François Blanchet and the Bloc Québécois.So, there are lots of numbers to go into on this episode of The Numbers. How did the polls perform? How did our projections do? And what results surprised us the most?Thanks for all of your support during this campaign!

Elias Makos welcomes in Antonine Yaccarini, Political Analysts, PR Expert and former PQ and CAQ staffer, and Justine McIntyre, Strategic consultant and former city councillor. Mark Carney’s Liberals have 168 seats, just 4 shy of that majority number. They were boosted by major gains in Quebec that came largely at the Bloc Québécois’ expense The Conservatives obtained their highest share of the vote since 1988, but with the collapse of the NDP, don’t have a win to show for it NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh got crushed in his seat in Burnaby Central and announced he will step down once an interim leader is appointed Are we entering a period of a de facto two-party system? The Elections Canada website went down — on election day. Does the “Canada is broken” guy have a point?
Pierre Poilievre's Conservative party, with the campaign's momentum and tightening polls, could yet declare victory in the federal election. But the party infighting that started early in the campaign already has some sniffing around a potential leadership change, as the Political Hack newsletter's Tasha Kheiriddin and Stuart Thomson discuss with Brian this week. Our 2025 election panel also gets into the surprises that could come with last-minute voters, the curious advertising blitzes of the two front runners in the race's dying days, and Liberal Leader Mark Carney's exorbitant platform promises and his growing smugness about his standing. They also consider the new, likely power status of the Bloc Québécois, should either party need the separatists to sustain a minority. (Recorded April 25, 2025) Learn more about your ad choices.

Catherine Cullen sits down with David Coletto to find out what pollsters will be watching as results roll in from coast to coast.Next, CBC reporters on the road send us their final audio postcards from the campaign trail — with analysis on the Liberal, Conservative, NDP and Bloc Québécois campaigns so far.Plus, our panel of political strategists dissect the final moments of the campaign, including new information about Liberal Leader Mark Carney's call with U.S. President Donald Trump, reports that Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is at odds with Nova Scotia's Progressive Conservative premier and concerns that NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh will lose his seat.Then, The House does a deep dive into the new Ontario riding of Milton East-Halton Hills South. The residents of two towns have been pulled together this election — and some are delighted to now be in a battleground riding where every vote counts.Finally, a look into the classroom of a Vancouver Island University professor who's using a game to teach students how hard it is to be a politician.This episode features the voices of:David Coletto, CEO of Abacus DataMarci Surkes, Liberal strategistKate Harrison, Conservative strategistGeorge Soule, NDP strategistKristen Everson, CBC producerMichael MacKenzie, political science professor at Vancouver Island University
Mark Carney's Liberals still hold a lead over Pierre Poilievre's Conservatives in our projections with only days to go before this campaign is all over. Will anything change between now and Monday?On this episode of The Numbers, we go over our projections and discuss whether or not the polls are really tightening. We then take a look at where each party stands and assess what would be a good or bad night for each of them. Can Jagmeet Singh's NDP retain official party status? Will Yves-François Blanchet and the Bloc Québécois hold the balance of power? Can the Greens avoid disaster?And, of course, who will win the election?Thanks for all of your support during this campaign! We'll have one more final episode on Saturday for members of our Patreon.

Cibles de propos haineux et mensongers de Donald Trump durant la campagne électorale, les Haïtiens de la ville de Springfield craignent, depuis l'arrivée au pouvoir du président américain, d'être expulsés. Le président des États-Unis a déclaré vouloir annuler plusieurs statuts de protection des réfugiés, notamment le statut de protection temporaire dont plus de 500 000 Haïtiens peuvent bénéficier. Donald Trump veut y mettre un terme dès la fin du mois et la justice a bloqué la mesure temporairement. Une incertitude insupportable pour les Haïtiens de Springfield que notre reporter Edward Maille a rencontrés. « Nous sommes tous inquiets. On nous a annoncé qu'on pouvait être arrêtés à tout moment, même au travail », témoigne l'un d'entre eux au micro de notre correspondant aux États-Unis. En Haïti, crise humanitaire concernant les migrants expulsés de la République Dominicaine et les déplacés internesLe sort de ceux qui sont installés en République dominicaine est de plus en plus difficile et les expulsions de plus en plus nombreuses. Le Groupe d'appui aux rapatriés et réfugiés (GARR) a recensé plus de 45 000 retours vers Haïti pour le seul mois de mars, dont près de 9 600 refoulements, écrit le Nouvelliste.Beaucoup de ressortissants haïtiens établis en République dominicaine, même souffrants, ne se rendent plus à l'hôpital pour éviter d'être rapatriés. Car les hôpitaux dominicains exigent désormais un document d'identité et une preuve de résidence pour accéder aux soins. Les femmes haïtiennes enceintes sont particulièrement ciblées, explique le Listin Diario, journal dominicain.Le Nouvelliste alerte aussi sur le sort des déplacés internes, au nombre de 51 000 en deux semaines seulement, entre mi-mars et fin mars, dans les villes de mirebalais et de Saut d'Eau après les violentes attaques armées du groupe Viv Ansanm. Le nombre de déplacés ne cesse d'augmenter et « les sites actuellement occupés par les déplacés n'offrent aucun cadre de vie décent à ces occupants », entre « insalubrité » et « promiscuité », note le Nouvelliste. Canada : à l'approche des élections, la question des relations avec les États-UnisCe sont les derniers jours de campagne électorale. L'actuel Premier ministre, également candidat, Mark Carney est donné favori, notamment parce qu'il est jugé le plus à même de tenir tête à Donald Trump dans le bras de fer commercial sur la question délicate des droits de douane entre les deux pays. Notre envoyée spéciale Marine de La Moissonnière, à Windsor, la capitale de l'automobile au Canada juste en face de Detroit, a rencontré un travailleur transfrontalier.Comme souvent lors des élections canadiennes, le Québec concentre l'attention des candidats. La province francophone « s'annonce comme un champ de bataille clé » pouvant avoir « une influence significative » sur le scrutin, écrit Le Globe and Mail. Le candidat et actuel Premier ministre Mark Carney, du parti Libéral, a donc passé sa journée hier au Québec où il a incité les électeurs à ne pas voter pour le parti indépendantiste québécois.Pour Mark Carney, « le Québec a besoin de représentants au gouvernement pour influencer les décisions importantes ». Les sociaux démocrates, indépendantistes, du Bloc Québécois seraient donc un mauvais choix, face aux discussions économiques et sur la souveraineté canadienne à venir avec Donald Trump, explique le Globe and Mail.Et le Bloc Québécois est en difficulté dans sa province même si Le Journal de Montréal note un sursaut du Bloc Québécois, « après avoir peiné à s'adapter dans une campagne conditionnée par la tempête Trump et une montée sans précédent de patriotisme à travers le pays ». Reportage : au Mexique, un programme pour aider les agriculteurs Au Mexique, gros plan sur un programme social et environnemental destiné aux agriculteurs les plus pauvres : l'État leur fournit une aide financière en échange de laquelle ils s'engagent à replanter des arbres.

Aux États-Unis, des feux de forêts ravagent des forêts du sud du New JerseyLe New York Times publie des vidéos, prises du ciel... on y voit les flammes oranges, de plusieurs mètres de haut, dévorer une vaste pinède sous une épaisse fumée grise. Le feu a débuté dans une « zone anormalement sèche » cette année, précise le journal new yorkais.Le bilan s'élève à plus de 3 400 hectares en feux et 3 000 habitants évacués hier même si certains habitants peuvent déjà rentrer chez eux. Aucune victime n'est à déplorer, d'après le média local NJ.com. Mardi soir (22 avril 2025), le feu était contenu à 10%.

Ukraine accusing Russia of war crime after military hospital hit in Kharkiv. Bloc Québécois only party that has released an election platform as federal election campaign enters second week.
There's been no shortage of drama one week into this sprint election campaign, which is already affected by U.S. President Donald Trump and his tariffs. Prime Minister Mark Carney and Trump spoke with each other for the first time ever, the day after Carney said Canada's old economic and military relationship with the U.S. is “over.” Goldy Hyder, CEO of the Business Council of Canada, explains the impact of Trump's tariffs and the bigger economic risk of retaliatory tariffs that could drop next week.

One thing seems clear these days: the polls aren't very clear these days.While there appears to be some indication of a Liberal uptick since Justin Trudeau's resignation, there are big disagreements about just how big that uptick is. Not only is there a discrepancy in the federal polls, there are diverging polls in Ontario's election campaign, too. Could the two be related — and just what can we say with any certainty?We also take a look at the state of the Liberal leadership race and a new poll out of Quebec that has good news for the Bloc Québécois and Parti Québécois but, conversely, bad news for the Quebec sovereignty movement.Want even more of The Numbers?

And is François Legault using immigration for political gain? Rosemary Barton hosts Chantal Hébert, Andrew Coyne and Althia Raj.

This week, Peter and Jackie discuss recent news headlines. Here is what they explored:Canadian Federal Politics. Last week was not the time for an election as the NDP and the Bloc Québécois did not support the Conservative Party of Canada's motion for a carbon tax election. But when will the election be held, and what does a faster election mean for advancing new energy legislation and regulations? Climate Week NYC is an annual event that focuses on addressing climate change. Peter and Jackie discuss the news that caught their attention while watching headlines from the week, including a nuclear energy renaissance. There is also a growing recognition that greenhouse gas emission reduction goals are not being achieved and that oil demand continues to grow.Canadian Electricity Markets. Ottawa opened a consultation to consider adding a surtax on Chinese modules, semiconductors, batteries, and battery parts imported into Canada, similar to the 100% surtax on EVs introduced in the summer.Electricity demand in Canada is growing. As a result, several provinces, including Ontario, British Columbia, and Quebec, have recently made calls to build new electricity generation plants. Alberta, however, is in the middle of an electricity market redesign that is, for now, making new investment in the province uncertain.Oil Markets. While WTI oil price stayed in the $US75-85/B range for most of 2024, it fell to $US65/B on September 10th and recovered to $US68/B at the podcast recording time. Jackie and Peter discuss factors contributing to the weakness in oil prices.Other content referenced in this podcast:World Nuclear News: Constellation to restart Three Mile Island unit, powering Microsoft (September 2024)DCD: Oracle to build nuclear SMR-powered gigawatt data center (September 2024)Canada consults on measures to protect Canadian workers in critical manufacturing sectors from unfair Chinese trade practices (September 2024)Alberta AESO stakeholder feedback on potential strategic reserves Financial Times: Saudi Arabia ready to abandon $100 crude target to take back market share (September 2024)Please review our disclaimer at: https://www.arcenergyinstitute.com/disclaimer/ Check us out on social media: X (Twitter): @arcenergyinstLinkedIn: @ARC Energy Research Institute Subscribe to ARC Energy Ideas PodcastApple PodcastsAmazon MusicSpotify
At Issue this week: The Bloc Québécois threatens to push for an early election if the Liberals don't top up seniors' benefits. The Conservatives boycott Bell Media for misrepresenting Pierre Polievre's comments. And the Speaker of the House denies a debate about naming MPs implicated in the foreign interference report. Rosemary Barton hosts Andrew Coyne, Althia Raj and Aaron Wherry.
Heated debate and insults in the Canadian parliament as the government faces two confidence motions. The Bloc Québécois lays out new conditions to support the government.And: A new hydroelectric power plant is about to go online in B.C. Yet, there are worries the province still won't be able to meet the energy needs of its growing population in this era of climate change.Also: With more and more Canadians getting their medical results through health portals and apps, some doctors are raising concerns about an emerging problem: patients getting a serious diagnosis - not from them - but from a message on a screen.Plus: Rockets, missiles and airstrikes intensify in the Israel-Hezbollah conflict, wildfire research, and a 55-km tunnel under Ontario's 401 highway?
Yves-François Blanchet says the Bloc Québécois won't vote with the Conservatives to bring down the Liberal government — this time. We look at what Blanchet wants in return, and how the balance of power has shifted in Ottawa.
The Bloc Québécois have taken what was thought to be a safe Liberal seat in Montreal, in the second surprise byelection loss for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in three months. Le Devoir columnist Emilie Nicolas gauges the mood among voters — and what this means for Trudeau's leadership.
The fall political season could prove to be a tumultuous one, as the end of the deal between Justin Trudeau's Liberals and Jagmeet Singh's NDP opens up the possibility of a snap election and ensures that brinksmanship will be the order of the day, at least until that vote happens — something that Pierre Poilievre's Conservatives will try to force as soon as possible.But a potential catalyst for upheaval will come very soon on Monday, as voters go to the polls in the Elmwood–Transcona and LaSalle–Émard–Verdun byelections, contests in which all three parties, plus the Bloc Québécois, have something at stake.To set us up for what should be a fascinating few months, I'm joined this week by the pollster panel.Dan Arnold, chief strategy officer at Pollara, was director of research and advertising in Justin Trudeau's prime minister's office and the Liberals' pollster during the last three federal election campaigns.Andrew Enns is executive vice-president at Léger. He conducted polling for the Conservatives in Stephen Harper's last three campaigns and has polled for provincial conservative parties across Canada.James Valcke is director of research and strategy at Viewpoints Research, which has polled for the NDP in elections across the country. He has worked on various central campaigns, including Jack Layton's breakthrough 2011 election.Join us at 9:30 PM ET / 8:30 PM CT on September 16 for our livestream of the LaSalle–Émard–Verdun and Elmwood–Transcona byelections. You will find the livestream here.THE NUMBERS: On this week's episode of The Numbers podcast, which is available for Patreon members here, it's all about the Elmwood–Transcona and LaSalle–Émard–Verdun byelections. We set our over/under lines and make some predictions about the outcomes. We also chat about some of the new polls out this past week that put the Conservatives at a new high of 45%, and the NDP at a new low.In addition to listening to this episode of The Writ Podcast in your inbox, at TheWrit.ca or on podcast apps like Apple Podcasts, you can also watch this episode on YouTube.
