Podcasts about Chrystia Freeland

This week, Donald Trump enjoyed a second state visit to the United Kingdom and was feted by King Charles and the royal family at Windsor Castle — a move some Brits saw as the United Kingdom sucking up to the U.S. president. Canadian podcaster and author Stephen Marche and former Mexican politician Agustín Barrios Gómez discuss whether their countries should suck up or stand up to Donald Trump.Plus, this week has seen high-profile Liberals from the Trudeau era announce their departure from Parliament Hill to take on diplomatic roles, including Chrystia Freeland and David Lametti — and there's rumours of more on the way. Catherine Cullen sits down with Lametti Then, Energy Minister Tim Hodgson talks about major projects, oil pipelines, and whether Canada — in the midst of this push to build big — can meet its upcoming emissions reduction targets.Finally, political strategists Mitch Heimpel and Carlene Variyan go into sportscaster mode to review the tape from the first-ever Mark Carney/Pierre Poilievre question period faceoff in the House of Commons this week.This episode features the voices of:David Lametti, Canada's incoming ambassador to the United NationsStephen Marche, author and host of “Gloves Off”Agustín Barrios Gómez, former Mexican congressmanTim Hodgson, minister of energy and natural resourcesMitch Heimpel, Conservative strategistCarlene Variyan, former chief of staff to Liberal ministers

Keir Starmer with help from the royals sucked up to Donald Trump this week in a big way. Does that work? Is there something for Canada to learn? Plus, you never want to lose a senior cabinet minister, unless.  Unless you think you are better off without that person. What is the case with Chrystia Freeland? And, Jimmy Kimmel. There's a lot in today's Good Talk with Chantal Hebert, and sitting in for Bruce Anderson this week, former Harper Communications Director, Andrew MacDougall, in London.

At Issue this week: Prime Minister Mark Carney goes to Mexico to try and shore up a new trade partnership. Chrystia Freeland and David Lametti leave the Liberal team. And the federal government asks the Supreme Court to limit how provinces use the notwithstanding clause. Rosemary Barton hosts Chantal Hébert, Andrew Coyne and Althia Raj.

In this week's episode of The Line Podcast, recorded on Sept. 19, 2025, Matt Gurney and Jen Gerson open with Canadian federal politics. Mark Carney is clearly cleaning house. We talk about why Chrystia Freeland may actually be entering her best years as a political force, share a laugh about our backstory with Canada's new ambassador to the UN, and ask whether Carney will use by-elections or the Senate to get his people in. This episode of The Line Podcast is brought to you by Universities Canada. Across Canada, university campuses are more than classrooms – they're community hubs. From gyms and pools, to theatres, health clinics and labs, campus spaces welcome everyone. Whether it's a hockey tournament, daycare, or a summer camp, investing in campuses means investing in the communities we share. But years of underfunding have left a $17 billion maintenance backlog, with one in three campus infrastructure projects now critical or near-critical. Campus infrastructure is community infrastructure. To keep building communities, the federal government must make campus infrastructure eligible in federal programs. To learn more, visit UnivCan.ca.They then turn south, where the fallout of the Charlie Kirk assassination lingers. Jen has some tough words for people you'd normally think of as her allies, and Matt lays out the conditions under which he'll take anyone's views on these matters seriously. They also touch on the Jimmy Kimmel situation.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.Finally, Matt turns the tables and asks Jen about her recent trips to other spiritual realms. If you've read her piece on her visit to the Monroe Institute, this segment will make sense — and if you enjoyed that article, you'll get some extra value from hearing her describe it in her own words.This episode is also brought to you by the Daily Bread Food Bank. Working-age Canadians with disabilities experience poverty and food insecurity at twice the rate of the general population. The Canada Disability Benefit was designed to address this, but at $6.67 a day, it fails to cover essentials like food, housing, and medication. Daily Bread Food Bank and coalition partners urge the federal government to fully fund the benefit to lift those it was meant to serve out of poverty. Join thousands of Canadians calling for change to help ensure people with disabilities can live a life of dignity.

Prime Minister Mark Carney and his Liberals unveiled several new pieces of legislation to boost Canada's economy and strengthen its security.

In this insightful episode of The Food Professor podcast, hosts Michael LeBlanc and Sylvain Charlebois explore Canadian food politics and industry developments before sitting down with Adam Grogan, President and COO of Maple Leaf Foods, for a revealing conversation about the company's evolution and future.The episode begins with a discussion of Canada's new Liberal cabinet, focusing on Heath MacDonald from PEI as the new Agriculture Minister replacing Kody Blois. The hosts express mixed feelings about the appointment, noting MacDonald's farming background as a positive sign. They also analyze Chrystia Freeland's surprising role as Transportation Minister and its implications for agricultural logistics.Another highlight includes the new interprovincial trade deal between Manitoba and Ontario, which aims to reduce trade barriers. Charlebois emphasizes that such provincial initiatives will drive meaningful change, not federal promises, potentially opening new markets for small and medium-sized food producers currently limited by licensing requirements.The hosts then discuss American food inflation dropping from 3% to 2.8% despite tariffs, questioning why U.S. consumers haven't experienced price increases despite trade restrictions with Canada, China, and Mexico.The feature interview with Adam Grogan reveals Maple Leaf Foods' transformation beyond being merely a protein company. Grogan describes the organization as a "CPG powerhouse" with numerous brands, including Tender Flake lard, Sunrise, Larson, Burns, Mitchell's, Schneiders, Prime poultry, and Greenfield natural meats. He also discusses their $1 billion investment in processing facilities in London, Winnipeg, and Brampton to enhance global competitiveness.On plant-based proteins, Grogan shares a nuanced perspective, noting they are "the largest share of refrigerated plant protein in North America" with three dedicated brands and manufacturing plants. While acknowledging recent market challenges, he remains optimistic about the future, citing changing consumer preferences and Canada's position as the world's largest producer of pulses and legumes.Sustainability forms a cornerstone of their strategy, with Grogan stating, "Animal production is one of the largest emitters of carbon anywhere, and big food needs to do more." Maple Leaf Foods was the first Canadian company to align with science-based targets from the Paris Agreement and the first major food company to declare carbon neutrality in 2019.The episode concludes with discussions on Newfoundland's ineffective sugar tax, which has collected $30 million without changing consumption patterns, and the controversial government-funded Aspire Foods cricket farm in London that recently entered receivership despite $9 million in public funding.This episode offers valuable insights into Canadian food policy, sustainable protein production, and the evolution of one of Canada's largest food companies under progressive leadership.

To understand President Trump's position on Canada, you have to go back to the 2016 election and President Trump's position on the NAFTA renegotiation.  If you did not follow the subsequent USMCA process, this might be the ah-ha moment you need to understand Trump's strategy. During the 2016 election President Trump repeatedly said he wanted to renegotiate NAFTA, the North American Free Trade Agreement.  Both Canada and Mexico were reluctant to open the trade agreement to revision, but ultimately President Trump had the authority and support from an election victory to do exactly that. In order to understand the issue, you must remember President Trump, Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross and U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer each agreed the NAFTA agreement was fraught with problems and was best addressed by scrapping it and creating two seperate bilateral trade agreements. One between the USA and Mexico, and one between the USA and Canada. In the decades that preceded the 2017 push to redo the trade pact, Canada had restructured their economy to: (1) align with progressive climate change; and (2) take advantage of the NAFTA loophole.  The Canadian government did not want to reengage in a new trade agreement. Canada has deindustrialized much of their manufacturing base to support the ‘environmental' aspirations of their progressive politicians.  Instead, Canada became an importer of component goods where companies then assembled those imports into finished products to enter the U.S. market without tariffs.  Working with Chinese manufacturing companies, Canada exploited the NAFTA loophole. Justin Trudeau was strongly against renegotiating NAFTA, and stated he and Chrystia Freeland would not support reopening the trade agreement.  President Trump didn't care about the position of Canada and was going forward.  Trudeau said he would not support it.  Trump focused on the first bilateral trade agreement with Mexico. When the U.S. and Mexico had agreed to terms of the new trade deal and 80% of the agreement was finished, representatives from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce informed Trudeau that his position was weak and if the U.S. and Mexico inked their deal, Canada would be shut out. The key points to remember are: (1) Trump, Ross and Lighthizer would prefer two separate bilateral trade agreements because the U.S. import/export dynamic was entirely different between Mexico and Canada.

“You have an autocrat president next door who is threatening annexation of your country. And it's not a joke anymore..”In December of 2024, former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau resigned with an approval rating of just 22%. His centre-left Canadian Liberal Party had been in government for the last ten years - through COVID-19, the cost of living crisis, housing shortages, and party in-fighting. Canada was ready for a change.And yet, with the federal election mere weeks away, Liberals are once again the popular favourite.

Jen Psaki explains that while Trump will offer his own version of how the country is doing tomorrow in his address to a joint session of Congress, it's important to trust what you've been seeing with your own eyes. She is joined by Dan Pfeiffer and Ben Rhodes to preview what to expect from Trump's speech as he continues to cozy up to Russia and gut the federal government. Next, Jen is joined by Chrystia Freeland, who's in the running to be the next liberal leader and Prime Minister of Canada, to discuss her plans to push back against Trump's tariffs. Then, Jen is joined by Representative Ilhan Omar to discuss why she and other Democrats are bringing fired federal workers as their guests to tomorrow's joint session to highlight the devastating impact of Trump's mass firings. Later, Jen brings out the receipts to show how DOGE is actually creating more problems than it's solving. Finally, Jen is joined by Stephanie Ruhle to discuss Trump's plans to build a U.S. crypto reserve and how his allies stand to benefit from this. Check out our social pages below:https://twitter.com/InsideWithPsakihttps://www.instagram.com/InsideWithPsaki/https://www.tiktok.com/@insidewithpsakihttps://www.msnbc.com/jen-psakihttps://bsky.app/profile/insidewithpsaki.msnbc.com

This podcast explores the Liberal Leadership race debate in Canada, where candidates like Mark Carney and Chrystia Freeland tackle issues like U.S. relations and NATO commitments, alongside a wild story of Patrick Douglas Scruggs, a former Florida federal prosecutor accused of stabbing a driver in a road rage incident, with his self-defense claim stirring controversy.

The four Liberal leadership candidates - Mark Carney, Chrystia Freeland, Karina Gould and Frank Baylis - had a chance to make their case to voters and challenge each other over two debates this week. The winner of the race will go on to be the next Prime Minister and will head directly into a tariff war with Donald Trump and an imminent federal election. But with so many points of agreement, did any of the four prove they were up to the task? Especially Carney, the front-runner?Aaron Wherry, senior writer at CBC's Parliamentary Bureau, joins us to talk about the highlights and takeaways from the debates and what it all means for the race and election ahead.For transcripts of Front Burner, please visit: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/frontburner/transcripts

Justin Trudeau, Canada's long-standing Prime Minister, announced his resignation this week, marking a seismic shift in the nation's political landscape. Trudeau's departure comes after nearly a decade as Prime Minister and thirteen years as leader of the Liberal Party. His resignation was not entirely unexpected but has sparked a wave of introspection within Canadian politics.Here is what you need to know if you don't care about Canada unless they're playing hockey or changing heads of state as told to us this episode by Evan Scrimshaw.The Breaking Point: Why Trudeau ResignedTrudeau's decision to step down was a culmination of mounting pressure from within his party and worsening public opinion. In recent months, his leadership faced escalating dissent. A pivotal moment was the resignation of the finance minister, which signaled deep fractures within the Liberal Party. Over the holiday season, Trudeau faced an ultimatum from his caucus—resign or face a vote of no confidence.Several factors contributed to Trudeau's plummeting support:* Declining Poll Numbers: Trudeau's approval ratings had been steadily eroding, with the Liberal Party polling over 20 points behind the opposition Conservative Party.* Special Election Defeats: Losing in traditionally strong Liberal ridings signaled waning public support.* Policy Disconnect: While many of Trudeau's policies were popular in principle, his personal brand had become a liability. Voters who liked Liberal initiatives often dismissed them outright when they were linked to Trudeau.Trudeau's tenure will be remembered as one of bold progressive initiatives juxtaposed with ethical controversies. On the positive side, his government achieved significant reductions in child poverty, lowered carbon emissions, and introduced affordable childcare programs. Yet, his administration was marred by scandals, including:* Ethics Violations: Pressure on the attorney general to favor a Quebec-based company, SNC-Lavalin, during a corruption probe.* Conflicts of Interest: Controversies surrounding contracts awarded to organizations with personal ties to Trudeau's family.* Housing Crisis: Critics argue Trudeau's inaction exacerbated Canada's housing affordability crisis, with rents and mortgage rates soaring during his leadership.As Scrimshaw put it, Trudeau's administration embodied “reckless disregard” for ethical boundaries. While these issues might have been survivable individually, collectively, they eroded trust in his leadership.Trudeau's resignation has thrown the Liberal Party into a leadership race. He will remain interim Prime Minister until March, with no parliamentary sittings until then. Key contenders for his replacement include:* Chrystia Freeland, the current finance minister and one of Trudeau's closest allies.* Mark Carney, former Bank of Canada and Bank of England Governor.* Anita Anand, Minister of National Defence.* Other candidates, including Francois-Philippe Champagne, Dominic LeBlanc, and former B.C. Premier Christy Clark.The party faces a critical choice: selecting a leader who can halt its decline and prepare it for the next general election. Scrimshaw warns that without decisive leadership, the Liberal Party risks being overtaken by the New Democratic Party (NDP) or marginalized altogether, as seen historically with the UK's Liberal Party being replaced by Labour.As Trudeau exits, the Conservative Party, led by Pierre Poilievre, appears poised to seize power in the next election. Poilievre, a pragmatic and relatively moderate conservative, has maintained focus on fiscal discipline while distancing himself from extreme social conservatism. The scale of the Conservative victory—whether narrow or overwhelming—will shape the trajectory of Canadian politics for years to come.Trudeau's political obituary is one of contrasts. He entered office as a symbol of youthful energy and progressive ideals, but over time, his administration became a cautionary tale of hubris and ethical lapses. His departure offers an opportunity for renewal within the Liberal Party and Canadian politics at large. Yet, the path forward is fraught with challenges, as the party grapples with its identity and viability in a rapidly shifting political landscape.ChaptersOpening and Introduction (00:00:00–00:00:45)General overview of topics, including Trudeau's resignation, Zuckerberg's changes at Meta, and upcoming political discussions.The Revival of Government (00:00:45–00:01:25)Commentary on the return of political activity in the House and the Trump administration's cabinet hearings.Justin Trudeau Resigns (00:01:25–00:08:45)A detailed discussion of Trudeau's resignation, his legacy, and the future of the Liberal Party.Global Political Trends and Liberal Party Risks (00:08:45–00:12:15)Insights into parallels between Canadian and UK politics, the Liberal Party's identity crisis, and risks of being overtaken by the NDP.Future Leadership of the Liberal Party (00:12:15–00:14:22)Breakdown of potential leadership candidates and their implications.Conservatives' Prospects and Pierre Poilievre (00:14:22–00:21:57)Analysis of Poilievre's leadership style and the Conservative Party's likely dominance in the next election.Discussion with Tom Merritt on Meta (00:39:00–00:41:07)A conversation with Tom Merritt on the implications of Meta's changes for political and social discourse.The Trump Administration's Strategy (00:26:23–00:29:56, 00:42:00–00:49:20)Overview of Donald Trump's legislative plans, reconciliation tactics, and the challenges facing the House and Senate.
