In the latest episode of The Line Podcast, recorded on June 19th, 2026, Matt Gurney and Jen Gerson begin with a foreign affairs roundup. Prime Minister Mark Carney heads to Ireland and France to strengthen ties with Europe while also trying to maintain a workable relationship with Donald Trump. Meanwhile, U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth visits NATO and delivers some pointed criticism of allies that, while not directed at Canada by name, certainly sounds familiar. Your hosts also discuss the aftermath of America's confrontation with Iran. Matt argues that the United States has, in practical terms, suffered a defeat — an embarrassing outcome for Trump, but perhaps a useful lesson for the rest of us about the limits of military power.This episode is brought to you by Fractional Execs Canada.

Matt is increasingly worried that Doug Ford could inadvertently throw Canada-U.S. negotiations into chaos, and explains why. Jen provides an update from Alberta, where the political situation remains bizarre. By the end of the segment, both hosts arrive at a grim conclusion: the incentives facing almost every major political actor now reward escalation, confrontation, and nastiness. That rarely ends well.This episode of The Line Podcast is also brought to you by BioCanRx, a federally-funded Canadian not-for-profit research network helping Canadian researchers bring treatments from labs to patients in clinical trials –– all in Canada.Every day, your immune system finds and destroys different types of threats –– both external invaders like viruses, and internal dangers like pre-cancerous cells in your own body. But cancer can sometimes evade detection. Researchers are working to identify flags found on cancer cells, called antigens. By training your immune system to recognize these antigens, immunotherapy can help your immune system destroy cancer. In addition to funding clinical trials, BioCanRx supports research teams who identify these cancer antigens, and find new ways to target them. Many challenges remain — and we're working on solving them. You'll hear more over the summer. For now, go to BioCanRx.com to learn more.Finally, Jen disappears down one of her trademark rabbit holes and emerges with a sweeping explanation of how she came to fully appreciate the sheer economic power of the United States. Somehow, this journey involves gas pumps, brisket, beef jerky, the Soviet Union, and the defeat of Imperial Japan in 1945. Your hosts find themselves reflecting on what American economic dominance really means, why it has proven so durable, and what lessons Canada should draw from it as we navigate an increasingly uncertain world.All that and more in the latest episode of The Line Podcast.

Something feels like it's shifting in Canada right now—trade talks, new laws, and our relationship with the United States are all moving at the same time.  In this conversation, Josh Udall from The Elevate Report helps break down what's actually going on with CUSMA, Canada–U.S. negotiations, and why so many people feel like things are changing faster than they can keep up.  Is this just normal politics and negotiation? Or are we watching a bigger shift unfold in real time without most people noticing?  Either way, it's worth paying attention to. 

Prime Minister Mark Carney met with world leaders at the G7 in France, trying to position Canada in an increasingly uncertain global order, new questions are emerging about the country's economic stability and its most critical trade relationship. U.S. President Donald Trump has cast doubt on the future of the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement, saying "I'm not looking to renew it" and "we don't need anything that Canada has," with a key deadline approaching. How exposed is Canada if that deal unravels, and how should its foreign and economic strategy adapt? Arif Lalani, Shannon Gormley, Adam Chapnick, and Drew Fagan join Jeyan to discuss.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When President Trump imposed 25% tariffs on Canada, one of its biggest trading partners, it kicked off a series of back-and-forth tariffs between the two countries. As a result of the ensuing uncertainty, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has emphasized the importance of reducing Canada's reliance on the United States as a trading partner, announcing a new trade deal with China during a recent visit to Beijing. Does this signal a shift in the Canada-U.S. trade relationship, and create new opportunities for Chinese companies looking to do business in Canada? Canada's former Chief Trade Negotiator Steve Verheul and Blakes' Brian Facey join host Anant Raut to discuss developments in Canada's trade relationship with the U.S., and how this impacts foreign direct investment in Canada.

Minister Marc Miller discusses the new social media ban for kids under 16. Plus, examining Canada-U.S. relations amid the delay of opening the new Gordie Howe bridge between Windsor and Detroit.

The on-again-off-again opening of the Canada-U.S. Gordie Howe bridge is off again as U.S. President Trump repeats threats to kill CUSMA. U.S. Ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra says those threats are an 'opportunity' to 'make us an offer.' CBC's Catherine Cullen, The Canadian Press deputy parliamentary bureau chief Mia Rabson and La Presse parliamentary bureau chief Joël-Denis Bellavance bring you inside the week's biggest political stories.

We break down why Canadian and U.S. officials are publicly sparring but privately keeping the relationship on track.

In the latest episode of The Line Podcast, recorded on June 12th, 2026, Matt Gurney and Jen Gerson begin with an update from Alberta. Jen reviews Pierre Poilievre's recent speech on why Alberta belongs in Canada. She liked it, with some caveats. Matt was somewhat more encouraged. He also has a few sharp words for Liberals who seem determined to police the boundaries of acceptable federalism. His view is simple: if people are defending Canada, let them defend Canada. Not every argument for national unity needs to come packaged with Liberal talking points. From Toronto, Matt also reflects on a genuine tragedy this week — a police officer killed in the line of duty while confronting a problem that had been allowed to fester for far too long. It's difficult to discuss without emotion. In his view, it never should have ended this way. But, alas, it was always going to: even if the exact tragedy was unforeseen, a tragedy was inevitable. This episode is brought to you by Cameco. In nuclear energy, timelines and costs matter.

In what may be the strangest segment of the year, Jen reimagines 250 years of Canada-U.S. relations as a raunchy romantic comedy full of love, betrayal, heartbreak, and, yes, sex. Video viewers can watch Matt become increasingly horrified as the bit unfolds — not because he disagrees with the analysis, but because he finds himself unable to refute it.This episode is also brought to you by BioCanRx, a federally funded, not-for-profit Canadian research network that specializes in bringing Canadian cancer immunotherapy research from the lab all the way to patients in clinical trials in Canada.

Both agree that kids probably shouldn't be spending their lives online. Their concern is that any attempt by the government to solve that problem could easily create several new ones. If recent experience is any guide, they aren't especially confident Ottawa can regulate this area without making a mess of it.All that and more in the latest episode of The Line Podcast.

Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer examine the turbulent state of Canada-U.S. trade relations following President Trump's assertion that the United States does not need Canada or a renewed CUSMA. They also analyze the shift from Prime Minister Carney's "sovereignty economics" toward a "Fortress North America" approach, exploring whether it signals a recognition of Canada's limited options. In the second half, they critique the Carney government's embrace of state-directed capitalism, questioning whether state-led industrial policy can deliver economic growth or if market-based solutions remain superior despite global trends toward greater government intervention.If you are enjoying the free version of the Hub Roundtable, subscribe to become a Hub Hero or Fellow to access the full version every week: https://thehub.ca/join/The Hub is Canada's fastest growing independent digital news outlet.Subscribe to The Hub's podcast feed to get our best content when you are on the go:https://tinyurl.com/3a7zpd7e (Apple)https://tinyurl.com/y8akmfn7 (Spotify)Follow The Hub on X: https://x.com/thehubcanada?lang=enCREDITS:Amal Attar-Guzman - ProducerElia Gross - EditorRudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer - Hosts Hosted on Acast.

In the latest episode of The Line Podcast, recorded on May 29, 2026, Matt Gurney and Jen Gerson begin with discussion of Prime Minister Mark Carney's trip to New York and the state of Canada-U.S. trade negotiations. Your hosts debate whether Canada has actually surrendered ground in the talks or merely put an opening offer on the table. They also discuss Carney's popularity. Matt remains eager to see more concrete accomplishments, but he concedes that, at least for now, the prime minister is decisively winning the vibes war.This episode of The Line Podcast is brought to you by Electro-Federation Canada. Canada's clean electricity grid gives us a competitive edge in attracting global investment — but to maintain that advantage our system needs to break down barriers and unlock the grid.

Electro-Federation Canada has developed a research-backed roadmap for grid readiness focused on smart policy and regulatory alignment. To learn more, visit MakeTheSwitch.ElectroFed.com.Next, Jen asks Matt to explain the Swedish aircraft Canada is buying, giving him an opportunity to walk listeners through the logic behind the deal. Is this a new line for Canada, or just Carney buying himself the room to buy some U.S. equipment next? That conversation quickly expands into a broader rant about Canada's inability to simply get important things done. Once again, governments are creating new mechanisms, new processes, and new workarounds to accomplish tasks that functioning countries often manage through their existing institutions.This episode of The Line Podcast is also brought to you by Dominion Dynamics.

An iconic Canadian air show is going to be put on pause. The military's Snowbirds squadron will be grounded until at least 2030 amid concerns the planes aren't safe. The current planes were first commissioned by the military in the late 1960s. The plan is to replace them, but it will be years before the new ones arrive.And: Prime Minister Mark Carney is playing down a decision by the Trump Administration to abandon a Canada/U.S. defence panel. The panel has been around since the Second World War, but Carney says he “wouldn't overplay the importance” of the decision.Also: From hantavirus on a cruise ship, to an ebola outbreak in East Africa… is the world ready for the next pandemic?

Plus, Canada's iconic Snowbird squadron will be grounded after the 2026 flying season as the federal government takes steps to replace the decades-old fleet.
