Pattie Lovett-Reid and Toonie Tuesday can be heard every Tuesday morning at 8:20 on The Andrew Carter Morning Show.

It's Part 2 with Brock McGillis, former Canadian pro hockey player and LGBTQ+ advocate for an unforgettable conversation that blends trauma, advocacy, fashion, and heart. Po'l opens up about surviving a violent hate crime—backstage at his own fashion show, inside a church. The attacker, literally named Jesus, screamed homophobic slurs as he beat him. What followed was a 5-year legal battle to have it properly charged as a hate crime. Pol' fought relentlessly—confronting a dismissive DA, yelling in court, and demanding justice. His voice became a symbol of empowerment for victims who feel invisible. Brock relates to the trauma, sharing how his advocacy journey began after experiencing his own struggles as a closeted athlete. He now tours hockey teams and corporations across North America—shifting culture through empathy, vulnerability, and honest conversations. He shares how his approach—what he calls breaking hockey drag—is opening minds and hearts in unexpected places. We dive into toxic masculinity, safe spaces, and empathy, reflecting on how trauma doesn't end with the event—it stays with you. Pol' admits he still can't sit with his back to a door. Brock, meanwhile, has helped thousands of athletes and executives see life through a more human lens. Then it's time for laughs, fashion, and hot topics: - Captain America couture disasters

Matt Cohen and John Ruffolo break down the seismic shift in Canadian politics as Mark Carney takes over as Prime Minister, succeeding Justin Trudeau. We explore what this means for Canada's economy, upcoming elections, and how business leaders are reacting to the change.* What's next for Carney and the Liberal Party?* Could Canada be heading for an April election?* How will Canada's economic policies evolve under Carney's leadership?Mark Carney Takes Over as Canada's 24th Prime Minister (00:01:00)In a widely expected move, Mark Carney won the Liberal leadership race with 86% of the vote, stepping into the role of Prime Minister. Despite having never held elected office, Carney's deep experience in global finance makes him a powerful force in Canadian politics.Carney's Background:* Former Governor of the Bank of Canada (2008-2013)* Governor of the Bank of England (2013-2020)* Economic advisor to Trudeau during COVID-19* Declined a role in Harper's Conservative governmentWhat's Next?With a tight race against Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre, Carney must move quickly to define his platform beyond broad economic promises. His leadership so far has been untested in political debates, raising questions about how he will navigate policy discussions leading up to a potential election.John Ruffolo's Take:“This is not a massive shift from Trudeau's policies—it's more of a continuation. Expect more government spending and taxation debates, but the big question is: How will Carney perform under real political pressure?”Will Canada See an April Election? (00:03:00)An early election could be announced as soon as March 16, with a vote set for April 22.Key Election Dynamics:* The Liberal Party is eager to hold elections before Conservative fundraising gains momentum.* Carney currently lacks a parliamentary seat, which could impact campaign optics.* A potential coalition between the Liberals, NDP, and Greens could reshape the political landscape.Projected Outcomes:* Conservatives still favored to win—but the margin is narrowing.* A left-wing coalition could prevent a Conservative majority.* Economic issues, particularly cost of living and taxation, will dominate voter concerns.John Ruffolo's Perspective:“With Canada's economy still under pressure, the Liberals need to move fast. Their best bet is a short campaign before Pierre Poilievre gains further traction. If the Liberals delay too long, it could backfire.”Canada's Economic Crossroads: What Carney's Policies Could Mean (00:07:00)Carney has hinted at major spending initiatives, but concerns over taxation remain front and center.Top Concerns:* Rising debt: More government borrowing could impact inflation.* Carbon tax shift: The tax isn't going away—just moving from gas stations to industrial sectors.* Cost of living crisis: Canadians are struggling with affordability, and tax policy will be a major campaign issue.What's Next?Will Carney unveil a bold new economic vision, or will his policies be Trudeau's agenda rebranded? Investors, business leaders, and everyday Canadians are watching closely.The Big Picture: What This Means for CanadaWith a potential election looming, Canada stands at a political and economic crossroads. Will Carney's leadership provide stability, or will voters seek a new direction under Pierre Poilievre? This is a public episode.

Since being sworn into office for a second time, President Donald Trump has slashed or suspended billions of dollars of funding for research and international aid, and cut thousands of jobs, plunging federal agencies and universities into chaos. This has some researchers considering a career change - and others contemplating leaving the U.S. Could Canada become a haven for researchers looking to innovate? Let's find out from: In Calgary, Alberta, Sarah Laframboise: Executive director of Evidence for Democracy; In Washington, D.C.: Keith Martin, Executive director for Consortium of Universities for Global Health; In Montreal, Quebec, Richard Gold, professor at McGill University's Faculty of Law, and chief policy and partnerships officer at Conscience, a non-profit focused on addressing market failure in drug development; And in Kingston, Ontario: Stephen Archer, Cardiologist and director of the Translational Institute of Medicine at Queen's University.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Conspiracy radio legend Richard Syrett has seen it all in his time on the airwaves, and he leans on that experience when analyzing this uniquely contentious moment between Canada and the United States. Who is Mark Carney, the man poised to become Canada's next PM? Should we be concerned about his connections to the Bank of England and Ghislaine Maxwell? Could Canada actually become the 51st state? He delves into those questions, as well as another pressing issue -- is Brigitte Macron trans? Also this week we discuss the remarkable qualities of the Shroud of Turin, and why Syrett thinks it covered the body of Jesus at the moment of resurrection.   Gold, Mint, True Werk

In this episode, Joe Grogan and Sally Pipes dive into the future of U.S. healthcare policy, discussing potential reforms under a second Trump administration. They explore executive orders, Medicaid challenges, and the flaws in Canada's healthcare system. The conversation also tackles a provocative question: Could Canada ever become the 51st state? Sally breaks down the political, economic, and healthcare implications of such a shift. Plus, they discuss California's wildfire mismanagement and the urgent need for political change.

Today's podcast: Before Donald Trump, the Biden administration wrote to PM Justin Trudeau, and Congress had The Northern Border Caucus as Americans had real concerns about the proliferation of threats from Canada to the U.S. - Is it all posturing by Donald Trump that Canada is not fulfilling our agreement to have each other's back? Our guest says, indeed not only posturing by Trump. - On border security, the premiers are stepping up with their own plans, in the absence of federal leadership. And the premiers' plans can actually be implemented, while the federal plan "isn't really worth the paper it's written on." And on the subject of tariffs, does it make any sense for Canada to threaten retaliatory tariffs against the U.S.?   Guest: Christian Leuprecht. Distinguished professor at Royal Military College How many do you remember? Might you have forgotten a few? RIGHT DISHONOURABLE: Scandals that defined the Trudeau era is a piece by Bryan Passifiume Post Media national politics reporter. Guest: Bryan Passifiume, Post Media national politics reporter  As we wind down the program, longtime guests and friends join us. Tim Danson has been the lawyer for the French and Mahaffy families for 30+ years in their battle for whatever justice Canada's offender-friendly system deems acceptable. Tim was also the lawyer of Jim and Anna Stephenson whose 12-year-old son Christopher was abducted from a Brampton, Ontario shopping mall by convicted child sexual psychopath Joseph Fredericks who would murder Christopher. During the inquest into Christopher's death, the federal government refused to fund Stephenson's legal expenses, suggesting federal government lawyers could properly represent Stephenson's concerns. After a program with Jim Stephenson, Christopher's father, and Tim Danson, the federal Minister of Justice and Attorney General Doug Lewis demanded to be on our program to 'set us straight.' The next morning Lewis spent two painful (for him) hours in-studio. The following morning, the Minister of Justice called in to say the federal government had been wrong and that Ottawa would not pay the Stephenson family's legal costs. Tim Danson had not sent the Stephenson's one invoice. Guest: Tim Danson, lawyer for the French and Mahaffy families U.S. President-elect Donald Trump has said he would not use military force to annex Canada, but that he will use economic force to create an economic union between the U.S. and Canada. - But, the United States did have a detailed plan for a military invasion of Canada in 1935 and today, near Watertown, New York, some 10 miles from the New York/Ontario border and some 50 or so miles from Ottawa sits a massive U.S. military installation, Fort Drum, home of the 10th Mountain Division of the U.S. Army. A rapid deployment military unit. The question is periodically asked "why is this military unit stationed in such proximity to the seat of Canada's national government? Might the U.S. have plans to invade Canada under specific circumstances? Guest: Dr. Tim Cook.

Ministers and Liberal MPs speak with reporters ahead of a caucus meeting on Parliament Hill. This is the Liberals' first caucus meeting since Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced his intention to step down as prime minister and Liberal leader once his party has chosen a new leader.  Minister Dominic LeBlanc (finance, intergovernmental affairs) discusses his decision to not run for Liberal party leader, while Mélanie Joly (foreign affairs) and Jonathan Wilkinson (natural resources) reveal that they both continue to mull over the possibility of running for leadership of the party. LeBlanc and Joly also comment on the government's approach to dealing U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's repeated threats to impose a 25 per cent import tariff on all products from Canada.  Ministers Marc Miller (immigration), Jean-Yves Duclos (public services), Mark Holland (health), Steven Guilbeault (environment), Mary Ng (trade) and David McGuinty (public safety) as well as MPs Rob Oliphant, Kevin Lamoureux, Judy Sgro, Ken McDonald, Chris Bittle, Kody Blois, Patrick Weiler, Ben Carr, James Maloney and Sameer Zuberi face questions on the process for selecting the next party leader and on Trump's ongoing tariff threats.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/policy-and-rights--3339563/support.

Is Canada still a safe country? In this episode of Citizen, David Leis joins us to tackle the unsettling realities behind that question while exploring the ripple effects of Donald Trump's tariffs on Canada and how they will affect the USA.

Most people in Canada haven't been able to view or post news content on Facebook or Instagram for over a month now. That's because Meta – the company that owns both platforms – is protesting a new law that aims to get big tech companies to pay for news content appearing on its feeds.But this move isn't without precedent. In 2021, Meta also blocked news in Australia because of similar legislation. The Australian government came to an agreement with the company – but not without some big concessions.James Meese is a senior lecturer at Melbourne's RMIT University who researches media law and policy. He's on the show to tell us what happened in Australia, how the legislation is working two years later and what Canada can learn from Australia's experience.Questions? Comments? Ideas?

Electric vehicles are going mainstream. Governments around the world are setting aggressive targets for EV adoption (Canada is aiming for 100% of light vehicles sold to be electric by 2035), and automakers are investing heavily in ramping up EV production to meet surging demand.

Erik Reed argues that Canada should, and joins us to break down what the EV supply chain looks like today and how Canada can fit into it.

The Bill Kelly Show Podcast: Premier Doug Ford has announced that Ontario schools won't reopen to in-person learning until September. Ford made the announcement alongside Education Minister Stephen Lecce and Health Minister Christine Elliott Wednesday afternoon. Ford said that modelling shows “thousands” of new cases would arise as a result of reopening schools before more teachers and students are vaccinated. The news comes despite Ford and Lecce repeatedly insisting in the past that schools are safe and students should be in class as much as possible. But they changed their tune after closing classrooms in April, pointing the finger at more contagious variants of COVID-19 that first made their way to Canada in late December and early January. GUEST: Harvey Bischof, President of OSSTF (Ontario Secondary School Teachers' Federation) - There's no decision yet as to whether the city will accept $3.4 billion in federal and provincial funding to build a 14-kilometre light rail transit (LRT) line from McMaster University to Eastgate Square. City Councillors were expected to vote on a motion Wednesday that would direct staff to work with Metrolinx and the province on a memorandum of understanding for the project. Instead, members of the general issues committee deferred Hamilton Mayor Fred Eisenberger's motion until June 16, when they hope to know more about the financial impact of day-to-day operating and maintenance costs. GUEST: Chad Collins, City Councillor, Ward 5 - The discovery of 215 children's remains in an unmarked burial site in British Columbia has revived discussion about the residential school system, which international law experts say was a genocide against Indigenous Peoples. Ryerson University law professor Pamela Palmater said the definition of genocide in the United Nations' convention on the prevention and punishment of the crime of genocide applies to Canada's actions. She said the convention states that a genocide is committed when members of a group are killed, subjected to serious physical or mental harm, put in conditions to destroy them, become victims to measures intended to prevent births or have their children forcibly transferred to another group. Canada only needs to be guilty of one of the five acts in the UN convention, with the intention to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group, to commit genocide under international law, Palmater said. Could Canada face legal consequences?

Chapter 3: The BBB is warning of COVID-19 vaccine passport scams as the Canadian government recently announced they are “actively exploring” the concept of vaccine passports for international travel. There have already been reports of fraudulent vaccine passports being used upon entry to Canada. Guest:  Denis Gagnon, BCSI Investigations President. Chapter 4: Metro Vancouver is the only large urban area in the country without a unified police force as the region is divided up between municipal forces and the RCMP. There have been calls for an amalgamation on and off for decades. Guest: Mike Morris, BC Liberal  critic for public safety. Chapter 5: One of the things we’ve heard about during the opioid overdose epidemic is that too many people are using drugs alone and it’s leading to dangerous situations. People dying while using by themselves in private residences is a big part of the problem. Guest: Giuseppe Ganci, Director of Community Development with Last Door Recovery Society & BETTER app Project Manager. Chapter 6: The federal government and the City of Vancouver are moving towards a new era here, an effort to decriminalize drugs as a way to get a handle on the overdose epidemic. Guest: Garth Mullins, a representative of VANDU and the host of CRACKDOWN podcast Chapter 7: When it comes to being a ‘friendly Canadian’, the attitude might stop as soon as you enter your motor vehicle.
