From Conversative to Liberal, Nova Scotia MP Chris d'Entremont did more than just cross the floor after the budget was tabled.It begged the question of whether or not Conservatives still believe Poilievre is doing the right thing at the top. After the fallout of the leader's comments on the RCMP, thorough conversations will be held ahead of January's Conservative Convention, where Poilievre's leadership will be brought into question for his party to decide on his fate.Host Maria Kestane speaks to Glen McGregor, political correspondent for CityNews to dig into what d'Entremont's move implies for the broader picture of the future of Poilievre's Conservatives, and just how likely other Tories could fall for Carney's right-of-centre playbook.

Clinton Wilkins and his team take to the streets to answer real questions from listeners about homeownership, saving for a down payment, and navigating the ever-changing mortgage landscape.

More than 750,000 Alberta students have been spending the better part of October not in a classroom, but rather left to their own devices as a historic province-wide teachers strike heads into a third week.Although higher wages and increased staffing are among the key sticking points for the Alberta Teachers Association (ATA), the thousands of educational workers currently on the picket lines are looking for a generational change across the province's education sector. However, the Smith government doesn't seem to be budging on how far they want to reach into their pockets, with the Premier even considering ordering a back-to-work if kids aren't back in the classrooms by the time the legislature returns.Host Maria Kestane speaks to Sean Amato, Alberta politics reporter for CityNews to break down what the last few weeks have looked like during the province's first ever teacher strike, and how close the ATA is to getting what they're fighting for.

Clinton Wilkins and guests dive deep into the evolving landscape of mortgage lending in Canada. From the rise in mortgage fraud and the tightening of regulations to the increasing role of family support in helping first-time buyers.

Host: Kelsey Coleman Guest: Hannah Key Air date: Oct 15, 2025

In this special "Best of 2025" episode of Mortgage 101, Clinton Wilkins breaks down the year's biggest trends in homeownership and mortgage lending. Clinton shares candid advice on the responsible use of home equity lines of credit, emphasizing the importance of not treating your home as an ATM.

Instead of walking into their classrooms on Monday, some 51,000 Alberta teachers walked off the job, triggering the province's first teacher's strike in its history. It comes after more than a year of failed contract talks between the Alberta Teacher's Association (ATA) and the provincial government - including two rejected offers - with higher wages and increased staffing among the main sticking points.But class (sort of) remains in session for the more than 730,000 students who've been affected by the job action, with the province posting an online learning toolkit of lessons, as well as a stipend of $30 a day to help families who's children are now at home. Teachers, however, will not be monitoring or assessing work during this time, so who's to say what degree of learning will realistically take place. Host Richard Southern speaks to Sean Amato, Alberta political reporter for CityNews to discuss what a potentially weeks-long education strike could mean for the province's public school system, and the reaction from hundreds of thousands of families who will now have to play the role of 'educator' at home or pay someone else to do it instead.

Clinton Wilkins recaps this year by diving into topics like: Canadians facing renewals, the decision whether to refinance, consolidate debt, or just extend your amortization.

Clinton and Dan discuss financial literacy, mortgage rates, and housing market trends. They note that while other provinces like Ontario and BC see housing price declines, Atlantic Canada's property values rise by about 3% annually due to high demand. They highlight the affordability issues, with $29.40/hour needed to live in HRM, equating to around $60,000 annually. They also discuss the impact of new rental units on the market, predicting a rebalancing by 2026. The conversation underscores the need for early financial planning, especially for education and housing.

Clinton and Dan discuss the current state of the mortgage market, focusing on interest rates and home ownership. Clinton mentions a Bank of Montreal economist's projection of a 75 basis point reduction in the key overnight rate by early next year, which could lower mortgage rates to the 3% range. They debate the pros and cons of variable vs. fixed rates, with Clinton noting a shift towards variable rates. They also discuss the impact of rising rates on inflation and the potential for a 25 basis point cut in September.

Dan and Clinton discuss the challenges of student housing in Halifax, noting the high cost and limited availability. They observe a shift from parents buying properties for their children to more student housing being sold. Clinton highlights the impact of reduced foreign student numbers on the market.

The opening date for a long suffering transit project in Toronto is a running joke across the GTA. The Eglinton L-R-T, a 25 stop above ground transit line, was set to open back in 2020. Since then, it's been continually pushed back because of a number of legal and construction issues. The cost ballooned from $5 billion dollars to $13 billion dollars, and dozens of businesses have shut down, blaming the impact from the years of construction. Although it's expected the L-R-T will start running September, there is no firm opening date although the project reached a critical milestone this week. Host Richard Southern talks about the project with CityNews journalist Nick Westoll. We love feedback at The Big Story, as well as suggestions for future episodes.

Idag tisdag skulle USA:s handelstullar mot Kanada och Mexiko träda i kraft. Men, så blev det alltså inte. Efter intensiva samtal med både Mexikos president Claudia Shainbaum och Kanadas premiärminister Justin Trudeau valde båda länderna att gå USA till mötes och tullarna pausas nu i 30 dagar. Men mitt i allt var det ett land som fortfarande stod kvar med Trumps strafftullar: Kina. Och klockan sex imorse, svensk tid, trädde tullarna i kraft. Nästan direkt kom Kinas svar och den 10 februari ska även de införa tullar mot USA. Var det väntat att tullarna mot Kanada och Mexiko skulle pausas? Blev det som Trump hade tänkt sig? Och är det ett fullskaligt ekonomiskt krig vi ser mellan USA och Kina? Gäst: Andreas Cervenka, ekonomikommentator på Aftonbladet. Producent och programledare: Olivia Bengtsson.

It's another round of Tuesday Thoughts on SDHWe go over your lingering questions on ATLUTD after the weekend, the rundown of how MLS stands, the news of the morning (Manchester City, Newcastle) and Jon's shopping addictions...

I was at a coffee shop on College Street when the barista Tony yelled “Hey! There's that duck!”     I turned and, sure enough, out the front window was a…  duck. A giant pixelated-looking green-headed Mallard set atop a rubber-tire-sized body on top of orange-stockinged legs and a pair of orange Converse. And he was just … walking by.     Like some kind of interdimensional tumbleweed.     Uh, what … was this?     Some gimmick from the local radio station? An ad campaign for a boot company? I ran outside with my friend Ateqah and was puzzled that … she seemed to know him!     “Hiiiiiii Lewis,” she cooed. “You're looking great, Lewis! How's your day going, Lewis?”     He just … quacked at her.     I had so many questions: “Who are you? What are you doing? What is the meaning of this?”     But, of course, he just … quacked.     Ducks can't talk!     Then he turned and did a 1920s-pauper-finding-a-penny-style heel-click a good three feet in the air and I was left standing on the sidewalk, stunned, with a big smile on my face.     I couldn't let the story finish there.     Turns out Ateqah had been following Lewis Mallard on Instagram for years so when she saw him she knew who he was. She took a picture of us and posted it on her Instagram Story, after which Lewis Mallard picked it up, artistically edited it, and posted it on his own.     I learned Lewis Mallard is an anonymous ‘interdimensional psychedelic folk artist' responsible for street performances and art installations across Hamilton, Toronto and, most recently, Victoria. Little duck-painted streetcar stations are popping up and, of course, the duck, in full quacking character, is being spotted on the streets.     Lewis's work has been covered in all the local press in Toronto—CP24, City News, CTV, The Toronto Star, etc. In one of many pieces of coverage in CBC a person named J.J. Collins, manager of a local record label, said "Anybody who sees Lewis will tell the next person they see and say, 'Oh my God, I saw Lewis on the way to work today.' It's like finding the golden ticket."     Finding the golden ticket? I … love that. BlogTo calls Lewis a “Toronto legend” and a “viral folk artist” and was trumpeting him after he painted a Toronto streetcar stop to look like … himself.     There was this … allure, to me, of what Lewis Mallard *was* and what he was doing. Taking over the streets, creating art amidst dustry construction, and mapping rivers of love, humanity, and community through endlessly flowing change we all feel happening on the streets.     Lewis Mallard agreed to meet me in human form—though his face, name, and identity remain secret throughout this interview—on a bright orange bench on College Street outside the same Manic Coffee where I saw him the first time. Lewis and I parked in the hot sun in front of noisy streetcars, gaggles of teens, and one guy who (really) believes Lewis is a spy.     We share Manic's famous yogurt cups, ham and cheese croissants, and cookies—all homemade!—and discuss sacrifices for art, the power of the collective, the right amount of ‘bad,' community through poverty, how to parent your parents, becoming an adult reader, what vandalism *really* is, and, of course, Lewis Mallard's 3 most formative books…     Let's flip the page into Chapter 139 now…
