If you have access to Google Maps, or preferably, an original wall map of Africa, stand back for a moment to savour the grand vista which is southern Africa. Living on the tip looking upwards creates a culture of outwardness, a mental and psychological state of eternal expansion. Despite this grandiosity, for many, it is a place of entrapment, they express sentiments of being stuck at the end of Africa, peering outwards to the continents of Europe, or America, Australasia with a sense of longing. It is as though we are fenced in by our own preconceptions, endlessly scrolling through the timelines of the grand and glorious X Y or Z generation gallavanting through the safe woods of Croatia, swimming along the elegant isles of the Med, wondering at the delights of the Barrier Reef. Croatia, of course, is where European-based ethnic cleansing took place in 1995. Europe is where almost 50 million died 70 years ago in a world war. America has been transfixed by a form of national socialism, Australia faces Chinese hegemony. Still, humans are a strange bunch, history a distant ship smoke on the horizon. It is a pitiful state where middle-class South Africans appear to have become transfixed by the myth of greengrassism. Where the grass is always greener on the other side. Our ancestors made their way into south Africa with a very different set of personal codes. From the earliest San, the Khoekhoe, then the Bantu settlers, then the European settlers, all arrived in this territory with plans and dreams. The dream may have been purely survival, or seeking treasure, for some it was purely adventure, for others, a combination of the above. But all of our ancestors had a plan which involved movement, migration, heading out to the next vista with necessities of whatever sort packed away and taken along. They were stoked by imagination, courageous, expansive. Looking at that southern African map a few important facts leap out. There are three main corridors from the south to the centre. One lies to the East, which can be tricky as it harbours fevers, faster flowing rivers, and inhabitants stretching back millennia. The centre is cooler in places, it is higher ground, but it also suffers from a lack of water, slow flowing larger rivers, and as you move north, geology plays tricks on you. To the west, well, there's a bloody great series of deserts, marching from the Karoo, Namaqualand, to the Kalahari, into the Namib, then into the Angolan plateau. Good luck using that route, even these days. Take a Land Cruiser with spare tanks, tyres and don't forget the satellite phone. There are a few important characters in this episode. One is Lobengula kaKhumalo, the descendant of Mzilikazi who had led his followers away from Shaka. You know his story if you've followed this series. Lobengula was crowned king of Ndebele in 1868 after a short, sharp civil war, at the great place called Mhlanhlandlela. He had long been tolerant of the Boer and English hunters who showed up as his home in Matabeleland, and in 1870 had even granted Sir John Swinburne's London and Limpopo Mining Company the right to search for gold along the Tati River — between the Shashe and Ramaquabane Rivers. N those days, the whole of Ireland was part of the United Kingdom, but people like MacNeill were working towards Home Rule. In what can only be called a head scratcher, Rhodes fell in with the nationalists. He knew that they had 85 seats in the British parliament and were strategically important, many times when the Liberal Party and the Conservative Party were at loggerheads, it was the Irish Parliamentary Party that turned into King-makers, holding the balance of power in the House of Commons.

Canada is fighting back against the latest round of U.S. tariffs, with retaliatory tariffs taking effect today. But will hitting back actually help Canada's position, or risk making a difficult trade relationship even worse? Joining us is Erin O'Toole, lawyer, former leader of the Conservative Party of Canada and a member of Prime Minister Mark Carney's Council on Canada-U.S. Relations. He's with us on the day these tariffs take effect to talk about Canada's strategy and what comes next.

The journalist and social activist is being remembered for her wisdom, wit, optimism, and tireless pursuit of equality. Ms. Magazine co-founder Letty Cottin Pogrebin tells us it was an honour to see that feminist force up close. Canadian writer and feminist Michele Landsberg recalls meeting Gloria Steinem for the first time at a Toronto Planned Parenthood event — and says she always made time for anyone working to further the cause. For the first time ever, Élections Québec will only mail out voter information in French — a move that's already causing a contretemps.A Halifax woman living in an encampment was hopeful a recent court decision would qualify her for a higher income assistance rate. Then the government changed the rules to make it clear that her campervan is not actually considered a home. Still more MLAs leave British Columbia's Conservative Party, and one of the most recent defectors says he'd rather sit as an Independent than remain in a party led by Kerry-Lynne Findlay.

FARAGE vs POLANSKI: IS THIS THE FUTURE OF BRITISH POLITICS? #NigelFarage #ZackPolanski #ReformConference #JonGaunt #JonGauntTV #UKPolitics #BritishPolitics #ReformParty As the Reform UK Conference kicks off in Birmingham, Jon Gaunt asks a bigger question: is Britain finally ready for radical political change? Forget Labour versus Tory for a moment. Could the real future of British politics be Nigel Farage on the Right and Zack Polanski on the Left? They couldn't be further apart politically — but both are trying to convince voters that the old political establishment has failed. So are we witnessing the beginning of the end of Britain's traditional two-party system? And today I'm asking some difficult questions about Nigel Farage. Is he REALLY ready to become Prime Minister? It's one thing to attack the Establishment. It's another thing entirely to run the country. Where are the detailed policies? Where are the people capable of running the great departments of state? And can Reform move from protest movement to credible government? Meanwhile Zack Polanski and the Greens are attempting their own political revolution from the Left. Two insurgents. Two completely different visions of Britain. But would the British Establishment ever comfortably accept either of them getting anywhere near real power? Or are millions of voters finally ready to tell the political establishment: WE'VE HAD ENOUGH. WE WANT SOMETHING DIFFERENT. Jon Gaunt gives his verdict and wants yours. Farage? Polanski? Burnham? Badenoch? Or none of them? Who represents the future of Britain? #NigelFarage #ZackPolanski #ReformUK #ReformConference #JonGaunt #JonGauntTV #UKPolitics #BritishPolitics #ReformParty #GreenParty #AndyBurnham #KemiBadenoch #LabourParty #ConservativeParty #GeneralElection #PrimeMinister #Westminster #PoliticalEstablishment #RadicalChange #Britain #UKNews #PoliticsLive #Farage #Polanski #ReformConference2026 #LiveAt6 Nigel Farage, Zack Polanski, Reform UK, Reform Conference, Reform Conference 2026, Jon Gaunt, Jon Gaunt TV, UK politics, British politics, Reform Party, Green Party, Farage PM, Zack Polanski Greens, Andy Burnham, Kemi Badenoch, Labour Party, Conservative Party, General Election, next Prime Minister, Westminster, political establishment, radical change, future of UK politics, Britain, UK news, political debate, Reform UK conference, Farage speech, live politics, live at 6 This is political blogging and hard-hitting social commentary from Triple Sony Gold Award-winning talk radio legend, Jon Gaunt — former host on BBC, Talk Radio, and Sky News.

Heavy monsoon rains hamper flood recovery efforts in Nepal, where thousands remain missing and downstream communities in India face rising danger. Israel says it's prepared to relocate Palestinians from Gaza, if the US agrees. Feminist icon and Ms. magazine co-founder Gloria Steinem dies at age 92. Border businesses are feeling the pinch amid renewed calls for Canadians to boycott US travel. The Carney government is spending $4.7 billion in more than 300 VIA Rail passenger cars. The Conservative Party of B.C. has lost two more MLAs.

Alberta's population boom is putting pressure on just about every part of the province's infrastructure, and schools are no exception. With more than 87,000 new students entering Alberta's education system in just four years, we ask Minister of Education Demetrios Nicolaides (4:00) if the province is barely keeping up or actually getting ahead. Meantime, B.C.'s Conservative Party is crumbling, with nine MLAs leaving over the past month alone. Cheryl Oates gives us an insider's look (37:10) at the B.C.

Things are not going well for the Conservative Party of British Columbia. Following Kerry-Lynne Findlay's win as leader earlier this summer after the ousting of John Rustad, there have been questions as to whether or not she's too far right for British Columbians. Since then, seven Conservative MLA's have decided their answer was yes, leaving the party to sit as independents, citing a lack of faith in Findlay's leadership. Host Caryn Ceolin is speaking with Mo Amir, host of This is VANCOLOUR, about what led up to these latest events, what the seven newly independent MLA's plan on doing now, and whether or not Findlay can survive the losses. We love feedback at The Big Story, as well as suggestions for future episodes.

Pierre Poilievre has “no chance whatsoever” of beating Mark Carney—that's the hosts' blunt forecast after Canada's latest federal by-elections.In the final 39 minutes of this week's show, Joey and Len debate whether the Conservatives have the right leader, why neither U.S. party is likely to unwind the tariff regime, and how Ottawa's new $7.5 billion support package could affect Canadian businesses, workers and the dollar. They also examine Trump's Venezuela oil deal, the pressure on U.S. strategic reserves, what the agreement could mean for Alberta, and why the hosts believe the Bitcoin case is becoming harder for Canadians to ignore.Can Pierre Poilievre still find a path to beat Mark Carney—or does the Conservative Party need a different leader?Canadian Bitcoiners PodcastWebsite: https://canadianbitcoiners.com/Subscribe and turn on notifications — new episodes live Monday nights.CHAPTERS0:00 Securing Bitcoin for your family1:40 The U.S. strategic oil reserve problem6:50 Trump's Venezuela oil deal and Alberta11:21 Fortress North America and permanent tariffs13:56 Canada's $7.5B tariff-support package18:17 The Bitcoin case for Canadians23:08 By-elections and a possible snap election26:10 Can Pierre Poilievre beat Mark Carney?32:47 Heating with hashrate34:02 Hamilton vs. Brampton Man————————————————————————————————SPONSORS

BURSTING THE BREXIT BUBBLE! HOW BREXITEERS ARE CAUGHT IN THEIR OWN "PURTY SPIRAL"In his latest Lowdown podcast, Nick Cohen interviews Roland Smith, one of the few Brexit supporters who has publicly admitted the Brexit project was a mistake. Roland discusses how British right-wing politics has descended into a purity spiral since 2016, with no senior conservative politicians acknowledging failures in Brexit or austerity policies. He explains that right-wing figures genuinely believe they haven't gone far enough with their policies rather than admitting mistakes, and that the entire movement has been radicalised into extreme positions through an echo chamber effect. Roland and Nick discuss how journalists like Boris Johnson and Michael Gove led Brexit rather than proper politicians, how the Conservative Party has been pulled ever rightwards, and how no one can operate within right-wing circles and admit Brexit was wrong without losing their entire social network. They discuss how this radicalisation has cost the Conservatives traditional support in former strongholds, with seats like Chesham and Amersham switching to Liberal Democrats, yet the party continues moving in an extreme direction under leaders like Kemi Badenoch.Read all about it!Roland Smith @rolandmcs is a Fellow of the Adam Smith Institute and author of "The Liberal Case for Leave", made the case for the EEA [European Economic Area] - a so-called "soft Brexit" which would have left the UK in the Single Market back in 2016. He has since publicly opposed the hard Brexit agreed by Boris Johnson's government. Roland also has his own regular Substack column, Soft Landing, that regularly explores the UK's troubled relationship with the EUNick Cohen's @NickCohen4 regular Substack column Writing from London on politics and culture from the UK and beyond is another must read Hosted on Acast.

In this episode of On The Line, host Matt Gurney is joined by two guests for conversations about political chaos on the west coast and why Canada may need to start thinking very differently about its maritime security.This episode is brought to you by BioCanRx. Over the summer we partnered with federally-funded Canadian not-for-profit BioCanRx to learn how made-in-Canada immunotherapies offer new ways to beat cancer. This September, we want to better understand the "made-in-Canada" part. Many drugs discovered in Canada leave to be developed and commercialized in the United States –– with the benefits accruing there. Completely made-in-Canada immunotherapies are rare because Canada doesn't have a major domestic pharma company to support the development costs or regulatory requirements. BioCanRx is one of the rare not-for-profits with the capacity and expertise to help move Canadian-discovered and manufactured immunotherapies towards the market, both through translational research funding and regulatory support. Promising examples include several therapies now in clinical trials through the Canadian-Led Immunotherapies Collaborative, or CLIC, which are fully designed and manufactured in Canada to target certain blood cancers and, more recently, solid tumours. More on those next time. Visit BioCanRx.com to learn more.First up is Rob Shaw, who has spent more than 18 years covering British Columbia politics and now reports for CHEK News in Victoria. He also hosts the weekly Political Capital podcast and YouTube show, serves as a political correspondent for CBC Radio's All Points West and Radio West, and contributes columns to Business in Vancouver and BC Business Magazine.Rob joins Matt to try to make sense of the unfolding chaos in B.C. politics, where the provincial Conservative Party is in full-on meltdown and Premier David Eby may have an increasingly tempting opportunity to call a snap election and secure a majority as the trade war heats up. The situation is moving so quickly that news was breaking even as Matt and Rob were recording. God only knows what will have happened by the time you hear this. Things are crazy over there.This episode is also brought to you by the Forest Products Association of Canada. Every budget season brings endless ideas for how Ottawa should spend. But some of the best ways to strengthen Canada's economy don't require a massive price tag. For Canada's forest products sector, real growth starts with dismantling made-in-Canada barriers: cutting regulatory duplication, fixing supply chain bottlenecks, securing predictable, cost-competitive access to fibre, and creating more certainty for investment. We can't control every global challenge facing our industry, but we can remove the barriers created right here at home. Discover how smarter policy drives economic growth at FPAC.ca.Then Matt is joined by Jamie Carroll of Carroll and Co. Consulting. Carroll is a former national director of the federal Liberal Party, but this time he's not here to talk politics — at least not initially. Instead, the two discuss Carroll's recent proposal in The Hill Times arguing that Canada needs to grow up, recognize that the rules have changed, and start organizing itself accordingly.His proposal is pragmatic: Canada should find ways to get the Royal Canadian Navy and Canadian Coast Guard working much more closely together. Matt and Jamie discuss how that could strengthen Canada's ability to patrol and defend its enormous maritime approaches, make better use of existing resources, and build national capacity at a time when sovereignty and security are no longer abstract concerns.And then, yes, Matt asks him about the politics of it all.This episode is also brought to you by Cameco. Canada is entering a decisive decade for energy, and the nuclear reactor we choose now matters. Incomplete designs carry real risk of delays and cost overruns, and we cannot afford to spend years designing a reactor before construction begins. That is why Cameco believes the AP1000 reactor is the right choice for Canada. It is already operating globally and ready now, with 100 percent Canadian ownership and strong participation from Canadian suppliers.The AP1000 reactor means job creation and supplier contracts, energy security at home, and significant investment staying right here in Canada.A proven design, built on time and on budget. That is how we build Canada.Learn more at ap1000.cameco.com.Check out our main page at ReadTheLine.ca, like and subscribe, and take good care.#OnTheLine #BCPolitics #BritishColumbia #BCConservatives #DavidEby #RobShaw #CanadaPolitics #CanadianNavy #CanadianCoastGuard #NationalSecurity #JamieCarroll #MattGurney

In Friday's episode of The Daily T, Camilla Tominey is joined by Tony Diver, The Telegraph's Political Editor, and James Johnson, the pollster, to debate the growing speculation that Andy Burnham could call an early general election.Mr Johnson suggests that the Prime Minister holds a mathematical advantage over a fractured Right, predicting that Lib Dem and Green voters would rally behind Labour to block Nigel Farage from entering Number 10.Camilla and Tony examine Mr Burnham's lack of a personal manifesto mandate, noting how 2024 tax promises severely limit his spending power unless he calls a new election, and they discuss how an early vote would catch a divided Conservative Party and Reform UK off guard as they struggle with candidate vetting and internal rivalries.► Subscribe to our new Daily T YouTube channel: youtube.com/@dailytpodcast► Sign up to our most popular newsletter, From the Editor.

In this episode of the Explaining History Podcast, we explore the life and legacy of Harold Wilson – the most successful Labour Prime Minister of the 20th century, and the man who attracted the most fevered paranoia from the British right.Wilson is often misunderstood. To the right, he was a crypto-communist, a threat to the British way of life. To some on the left, he was a betrayer of socialist ideals. The truth is more complex: Wilson was a corporatist, a believer in a managed mixed economy where private enterprise would be guided, not bullied, by the state. He wanted to break the power of the City of London, modernise British industry, and create a "producers' alliance" between manufacturing, unions, and government.This vision – modest by any standard – was met with extraordinary hostility. In the 1960s and 70s, MI5 agents plotted against him, bugged his offices, and discussed military coups. Senior civil servants sabotaged his government's plans. Newspaper barons waged campaigns of character assassination. Wilson was never a socialist, let alone a communist – but he threatened the interests of a ruling class that would not tolerate even mild reform.I draw a parallel with the current moment. The language of the British right – from the Conservative Party to Reform to various crypto-fascist fringe groups – routinely equates the basics of post-war social democracy with communism. The idea that workers should have rights, that there should be a social safety net, that there should be a public health service – these are now described as "communist ideas." This is not a new phenomenon. It is a continuation of the same paranoid tradition that sought to destroy Wilson.We also examine Wilson's attempt to create a Department of Economic Affairs to break Treasury dominance – a battle he lost, and which has echoes in Andy Burnham's current efforts to decentralise economic decision-making. The Treasury won then, and it is winning now.Topics covered:Harold Wilson as corporatistThe post-war social democratic consensusMI5 plots against WilsonThe cult of the "gentleman amateur"Wilson's "white heat of technology" speechThe Department of Economic Affairs and Treasury sabotageThe paranoia of the British rightParallels with the current momentIf you enjoy the podcast, please consider supporting us – we are migrating from Patreon to Substack.

In this paid subscriber-only edition of The Roundtable, Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer discuss the current state of the Canada-U.S. trade deal, arguing it represents a fundamental shift from free trade to managed trade with permanent tariffs. They examine why Canada delayed negotiations only to accept terms similar to those secured by Europe and Japan months earlier.In the back half of the show, they focus on the Conservative Party's recent abandonment of fiscal conservatism. They critique the party's apparent commitments to increasing Old Age Security and defending supply management, arguing these positions betray core conservative principles of limited government and fiscal responsibility. The two explore whether bond market pressures might force a return to fiscal discipline, and question what purpose a political party serves if it abandons its foundational principles while still losing elections.If you are enjoying free versions 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:Alisha Rao - Producer Daphne Liang - Editor Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer - Hosts Hosted on Acast.

Pierre Poilievre has a lot of haters. But his biggest hater might just be Kory Teneycke. This is a guy who comes from inside the Conservative machine. He was Stephen Harper's communications director. He helped Doug Ford win. Then win again. Then again.And for months, Teneycke's been publicly dragging Pierre Poilievre through the mud. No holds barred. He questioned Poilievre's strategy. His leadership. His campaign. And even his character.What's his beef with Pierre Poilievre, and is this just an old political grudge or is he diagnosing something bigger that's gone sour within the Conservative Party?Host: Noor AzriehCredits: Aviva Lessard (Senior Producer), Sam Konnert (Host/Producer), Noor Azrieh (Host/Producer), Caleb Thompson (Audio Editor and Technical Producer), Tristan Capacchione (Senior Production Supervisor), Jesse Brown (Editor), Tony Wang (Artwork)Guests: Kory TeneyckeBackground reading:The Conservative Feud Is Embarrassing.

Welcome back to another episode of the Couple Casuals Podcast!In this solo episode, Stefano is joined by Dean for an unfiltered conversation covering culture, entertainment and Canadian politics — from the disturbing Perez Hilton situation and Hollywood's obsession with demonic imagery to crime in Toronto, the Conservative Party, Mark Carney, Pierre Poilievre and Canada–U.S. relations.The episode opens with the Perez Hilton situation and a broader conversation surrounding:
• public suffering and social media
• celebrity culture and attention
• faith, God and personal struggles
• society becoming desensitized to disturbing content
• filming traumatic events instead of interveningDean also shares a personal story about witnessing a woman being attacked on Toronto Island and stepping in while others stood back and filmed — leading into a discussion about crime, public safety and Canada's justice system.The conversation then turns toward Hollywood and its use of satanic, demonic and anti-Christian imagery, including:
• Sam Smith's “Unholy” performance
• Lil Nas X and the “Satan Shoes”
• the Balenciaga controversy
• shock value in entertainment
• Christianity being mocked in popular culture
• whether this imagery is marketing or something deeperStefano and Dean then shift into politics, discussing Donald Trump, the Republican Party and Trump's impact on Canada and the conservative movement.The second half focuses heavily on Canadian politics, including:
• Larry Brock's decision to resign
• Conservative polling
• Pierre Poilievre's influence on Canadian politics
• Mark Carney's performance as Prime Minister
• affordability, housing, crime and cost of living
• media coverage of Carney vs. Poilievre
• Liberal policies increasingly overlapping with Conservative proposalsThey also discuss the elimination of the consumer carbon tax, income-tax relief, bail and sentencing reform, and policies aimed at reducing the cost of new housing.Finally, Stefano breaks down Poilievre's letter to Carney regarding negotiations with Donald Trump, arguing Canada should not make further concessions without meaningful tariff relief for steel, aluminum, lumber and automobiles.With affordability under pressure, crime remaining a concern and Canada–U.S. negotiations continuing, is Canada's political direction beginning to shift?Grab a casual, lock in, and let's get into it.Host: Stefano

HELP SUPPORT US AS WE DOCUMENT HISTORY HERE: https://gogetfunding.com/help-keep-wam-alive/# Josh Sigurdson reports on the decision by the British Columbia government in Canada to give 97,000 square kilometers of land to First Nations bands. This is the largest land grab in Canadian history since its inception. The land being transferred eventually is 12 times the size of Vancouver. It is the size of the country of Portugal. Now, there is nuance to this story. It isn't exactly set in stone as many are claiming, yet it does appear that most of the paperwork has been done to take this land. The documentation goes back to the 1990s on this and conveniently, the government has made massive regulatory moves recently to make it happen. While the Conservative Party of BC claims this is happening in secret, the NDP which controls BC claims it is false. One of the parcels of land being transferred is Hatley Castle, a historic 1908 castle on Vancouver Island which has many claiming this is direct cultural warfare. While land grabs are absurd and no consultation is happening on this with the public, it should also be pointed out that this only includes public and crown land. That means, it is being transferred from the CROWN which has a long horrific history to another group of governments known for deep seeded corruption. This move also means zoning laws and codes would not apply in the areas transferred. That isn't really a bad thing considering the codes and zoning laws in Canada are absolutely insane. Again, this seems more of a move to demoralize the public culturally and divide people. One can say many things about how the Canadian government and previously the British government hurt indigenous communities. Two wrongs however do NOT make a right and this is furthering the divide agenda as civilization as we know it crumbles. Moreover, this clearly is more evidence that the state owns the land and you don't. This is what the WEF says is "owning nothing and being happy." Are you happy? Stay tuned for more from WAM!

With Nigel Farage and Rupert Lowe trading blows, is the British right tearing itself apart, and will Kemi Badenoch destroy the Conservative Party by chasing Reform and Restore voters rather than the centre ground? With prisons at breaking point and reoffending rates soaring, why aren't governments honest about the real causes of the crisis, or the solutions? As the Rhine falls to record lows and Germany's economy takes the hit, is this the clearest sign yet that the climate crisis is now an economic one?

What on earth do we do now? The dinghy has been swapped for the mega-dinghy, one so big that is overwhelmed The Sun's front page. Arriving at about 2.30am this morning it was carrying 230 migrants, reportedly the largest number to cross the Channel successfully on one vessel. Brits are asking at what point the government will wake up and smell the crisis. Discussing this major development with Talk's Ian Collins: Political commentator Benedict Spence, former Conservative Party leader Sir Iain Duncan Smith, justice advisor for Reform UK Vanessa Frake, Reform UK MP Sarah Pochin, former Metropolitan Police detective Peter Bleksley, and Labour MP Sam Rushworth. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

After a provincial politician in New Brunswick made international headlines for delivering a speech containing obvious AI prompts, and as the House of Commons continues to lean on hybrid proceedings and a voting app, it's clear technology is changing politics. But are these changes helping or hurting politicians? The House asks a panel of three past MPs: former interim Conservative leader Candice Bergen, former Liberal cabinet minister Marco Mendicino and former NDP MP and provincial cabinet minister Nathan Cullen. Plus, as the federal government shared plans this week for a new medical countermeasures laboratory meant to improve preparedness for future health emergencies, south of the border, a Republican-led Senate committee held former top U.S. health official Dr. Anthony Fauci in contempt of Congress for declining to answer questions about COVID-19. Host Catherine Cullen checks in with Mona Nemer, Canada's chief science advisor since 2017, about this moment in public trust and the path forward for pandemic preparedness.And, more than half of all households in Nunavut are food insecure, according to Statistics Canada. As part of The House's ongoing summer series on food security, Joseph Murdoch-Flowers, executive director at the Qajuqturvik Community Food Centre in Iqaluit, joins the program to talk about the work his group is doing to help and how the federal government could improve its efforts.This episode features the voices of:Candice Bergen, former Conservative Party interim leader and senior strategic advisor at Signal HillMarco Mendicino, former Liberal cabinet minister and senior counsel at CasselsNathan Cullen, former NDP MP and vice-president with StrategyCorpMona Nemer, Chief Science Advisor of CanadaJoseph Murdoch-Flowers, executive director at the Qajuqturvik Community Food Centre

The earth is burning, Britain is parched brown and rain is a distant memory. Yet the Tories are purging the last of their Net Zero advocates, the Greens seem to have lost interest in green policies, and Burnham's Labour are teetering on the edge of reopening oil and gas in the North Sea. Saving the planet is just so expensive! What will it take to get British politicians to take the climate emergency seriously?   Plus, will the real Kemi Badenoch please sit down? The current and quite possibly final leader of the Conservative Party stood by convicted neo-Nazi Joshua Bonehill-Paine as a local council candidate (he withdraws right in the middle of this recording). So how come the commentariat is convinced of the “Keminaissance”?  ESCAPE ROUTES: • Zoë has been reading Slags by Emma Jane Unsworth.  • Seth has been to Bayreuth for the Festival (hurry, it's still on). • Ros got a preview copy of Deep Into The Sixties: Britain 1965–66 by David Kynaston • Rachel has been reading Pagans by James Alistair Henry.

Kemi Badenoch found herself in warmer water this week after backing a former neo-Nazi to stand as a local council candidate, before he subsequently pulled out – he has now been appointed as an anti-extremism advisor to the Conservative Party's Culture and Integration Commission. Natasha Feroze is joined by The Spectator's William Atkinson, and the former Editor of Conservative Home, Paul Goodman, to reflect on the story, and the wider Keminisation of the Conservative Party, as commented on by James Heale in this week's political column.Produced by Henry LloydBecome a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

In this episode of The Daily T, Tim Stanley and Jacob Rees-Mogg dissect the downfall of Professor Jason Arday following his resignation from Cambridge University in the wake of plagiarism allegations and unverified CV claims. They speak to Professor Kehinde Andrews on the accusations Prof Arday faces and whether the intense scrutiny represents a racially-motivated smear campaign or a genuine concern for academic integrity.Tim and Jacob also discuss the wider state of Britain's political parties, following the fallout from the Conservative Party's controversial selection of former neo-Nazi Joshua Bonehill-Paine as a local council candidate and The Telegraph's report on Wes Streeting accepting funds tied to disgraced crypto figure Sam Bankman-Fried.
