Has Pierre Poilievre learned ANYTHING from his unemployment? In recent news, Poilievre is still fighting ghosts and slinging mud against Prime Minister Mark Carney, but most Canadians aren't buying into his petulant style of politics. Poilievre's lukewarm reception at the Calgary Stampede says a lot—and so do his lowbrow attacks on Mark Carney's ethics, which seem more about personal political gain than in the spirit of Canadians' best interests. In Episode 177, Bill breaks down why Poilievre's lack of growth and divisive smear tactics could threaten his political future—and why Canadians deserve leadership that puts the country first.Don't forget to like, follow and subscribe across our channels!

In this episode, Antonio and Ward talk about the challenge of photographing in new places. Antonio's just moved to Lincoln, Nebraska and is still unpacking boxes, figuring out where to store his gear, and trying to spot what's interesting to shoot in a much quieter environment than New York. He shares how different it feels to look for subjects like grain elevators, small-town architecture, or even backyard birds, and mentions playing around with his Fuji X-Half and a little drone to stay inspired. He also talks about noticing the slower pace of life, meeting friendly neighbors, and thinking about how he might approach more deliberate projects like set-up portraits in a community where people seem more open.   Ward describes his recent nights photographing the Calgary Stampede, explaining how he focuses on close-up, expressive portraits and uses different cameras to stay low-key in crowds. He talks about the energy of the event, shooting into the night with carnival lights, and building a long-term series he can add to each year. They talk about the tension between shooting things that have been done before and bringing your own perspective. Ward encourages just picking something and getting started, and they discuss ideas like making connections through local coffee shops, setting up portrait sessions, and simply finding a way to feel at home with the camera in a new environment.   Photo Gallery: https://adobe.ly/4kGspYf Recent Substack Articles: From the F Train to Farmland - Part 1 From F-Train to Farmland - Part 2 Point of Departure: Japan   Subscribe to our Substack Newsletter Help out the show by buying us a coffee!

Youth from across the province put agriculture front and centre at the Youth Agriculture Speaking Championships, put on by the Calgary Stampede in partnership with the Alberta Young Speakers for Agriculture. The youth were competing for $15,000 in prizes as well as money to travel to Toronto to compete in the Canadian Young Speakers for Agriculture Finals at the Royal Winter Fair in November. The competitors delivered speeches on one of five agri-tech and agri-food related topics that were five to seven minutes in length. The preliminary competition was held at Olds College and Stampede Park on July 11. The top five from the Junior and Senior divisions were selected to participate in the final on July 12th at the Calgary Stampede.  

Send us a textMitch Zorn has been celebrating the release of his debut EP Mitch Zorn. We caught up with him during his Calgary Stampede adventures.Mitch grew up in a town of 1000 people, rural Nakusp, British Columbia, where he joined his family band at just eight years old. It wasn't long before he was headed South to work in the oil fields in Texas. Mitch would spend five years going between there and Nashville to write songs on his weeks off.We talked a lot about how working in the oil fields really inspired and shaped his songwriting. Mitch decided to move home after five years down South and really started to work on recording music. A chance encounter with representatives of 604 Records at his show led to him celebrating his first record deal in mid 2024.Since then, Mitch has released singles leading up to his EP, started touring throughout Canada, and participated as a semi-finalist in SiriusXM's Top Of The Country competition. Keep up with Mitch Zorn on Instagram, TikTok and Facebook. We're so excited to bring back Season 4 of On The Porch with Front Porch Music.

Amidst the pancake breakfasts and rodeo fun at the Calgary Stampede, canola farmers were looking for updates on tariffs with China. Andre Harpe, Chair of Alberta Canola and the Canadian Canola Growers Association, met with Prime Minister Mark Carney face-to-face, and trade with China was top of mind. "It was a great opportunity to have," says Harpe. "It's not every day you get the chance to chat with the prime minister. All we did was share our concerns about what's going on right now with China and the tariffs, so it was a good conversation." Earlier this year, China slapped retaliatory tariffs on canola and other ag products in response to trade restrictions imposed by Canada on Chinese-made electric vehicles, steel, and aluminum products. It has created considerable concern among canola growers.

On this edition of RealAg on the Weekend, host Shaun Haney has some first-hand thoughts on the Calgary Stampede and the latest on new (the same? old?) Trump tariff threats.

The Calgary Stampede is making history. For the first time in 45 years, a new event has been added: ladies breakaway roping. We speak with world champion Shelby Boisjoli-Meged about what it means to compete on her home turf, and why equal pay and representation in rodeo matter more than ever.

In this episode of The Line Podcast, recorded on July 11, 2025,  your hosts are back together! Matt returns from Europe and Jen gets him caught up. First up: a full debrief on this year's Calgary Stampede. Matt wants to talk breakfast, but Jen wants to talk vibes — and this year, the CPC was a much quieter, more cautious presence than last. Poilievre showed up and got the applause you'd expect from a friendly crowd, but even some Conservatives are starting to quietly admit … Carney's off to a strong start.This episode of The Line Podcast is brought to you by Unsmoke Canada. Canada can be a global leader in reducing the harm caused by smoking, but it requires actionable steps, including giving adult smokers the information they need to choose potentially less harmful alternatives. Learn more at Unsmoke.ca.Next, Matt shares what actually made news in Europe: a bit about Trump, some sad headlines out of Texas, but very little from Canada. The biggest political storyline back home? The NDP is hunting for a new leader, and neither Matt nor Jen can think of anyone likely to win.  This episode of The Line Podcast is also brought to you by Forestry For The Future. Canadian forestry supports 200,000 workers, generates $87 billion in annual revenue, contributes $21 billion annually to our nation's economy, and provides the products we need to build homes and drive economic growth. While trade barriers from the U.S. are siphoning jobs and investment away, Canada's own approval processes and regulations are preventing critical projects that both prevent wildfires and boost our economic self-reliance.We can and should have programs that expand domestic wood use, advance biomass use and pulp market opportunities, and cut red tape and regulatory barriers. The government of Canada has a clear opportunity to stand up for Canadian forestry at a time of growing global uncertainty. We need real action that puts Canadians first — supporting employees and their families, securing stability for our businesses, and protecting the long-term potential of our sector and its people. To learn more, visit ForestryForTheFuture.ca.To wrap up, Matt offers a few unsentimental takeaways from his European trip. No postcard clichés, just a growing unease: even cities with reputations for being gritty are starting to look better — cleaner, safer, more orderly — than some of Canada's big cities. Are we losing ground without realizing it? Would Canadians ever accept it even if we were?This episode is also brought to you by Airbnb. Everyone agrees that Canada needs to take real action to tackle the housing crisis, but only a few people argue that short-term rentals like Airbnb are part of that solution. Countless experts have argued that short term rental regulation is nothing more than a distraction, with the Harvard Business Review recently saying that “Put simply, restricting Airbnb is not going to be an effective tool for solving the housing-affordability problems.” This makes sense when you consider two key statistics: Canada needs 5.8 million homes to reach affordability by 2030, and Airbnb's account for only 0.6% of Canada's overall housing stock. The closer you look the clearer it gets that Canada needs bold action that addresses the entire housing market, not just 0.6% of it. Learn more at Airbnb.ca/closerlook.Oh. And. This is a bit of an aside. But. We discuss why Elizabeth May should not be given a gun. All that, and more, in the latest episode of The Line Podcast. Subscribe at ReadTheLine.ca.
