Podcast appearances and mentions of david coletto

More than a week has passed since Israel and the United States launched a massive attack on Iran — a move the prime minister says Canada supports "with regret." How does that stance square with the vision Carney laid out in Davos? Former Canadian ambassador to the United Nations Bob Rae weighs in on the Canadian view and shares concerns around how the conflict may end. Plus, tanker traffic in one of the world's key oil passageways in the Middle East has ground to a halt, leaving some countries calling on Canada to ramp up its energy exports. Liberal MP Corey Hogan, parliamentary secretary to the energy minister, explains what Ottawa is telling these eager nations; then Adam Chambers, the Conservatives' international trade critic, explains his party's vision to meet rising energy demands.Next, Mark Carney addressed Australia's parliament this week, reiterating his theory that middle powers must work together as the international rules-based order crumbles around them. Former Australian prime minister Malcolm Turnbull joins The House to discuss how Carney's pitch is being received Down Under and how the two countries can work together in an increasingly uncertain world.Then, new data shows that almost half of Canadians polled are in favour of their country becoming a member state of the European Union — despite its physical distance from the continent. CBC's Jennifer Chevalier hears the arguments for and against membership from the Global Governance Forum's Augusto Lopez Claros, former deputy prime minister John Manley, trade expert Meredith Lilly, Canada-U.S. expert Fen Hampson and pollster David Coletto.This episode features the voices of:Bob Rae, former Canadian ambassador to the United NationsCorey Hogan, Liberal MP and parliamentary secretary to the energy ministerAdam Chambers, Conservative international trade criticMalcolm Turnbull, former prime minister of AustraliaAugusto Lopez Claros, executive director of the Global Governance ForumJohn Manley, former deputy prime minister under Jean ChrétienMeredith Lilley, international economic policy professor at Carleton UniversityFen Osler Hampson, co-chair of the Expert Group on Canada-U.S. RelationsDavid Coletto, CEO of Abacus Data

For decades, Alberta's federal politics has been a fortress. But the Conservative blue wall protecting the province is showing signs of cracking. And the colour seeping in? Liberal red.To help understand the shift, West of Centre host Kathleen Petty is joined by Éric Grenier, a premier Canadian polls analyst and founder of The Writ; and David Coletto, CEO of Abacus Data, whose latest online survey reinforces the idea that the increase in Liberal support in Alberta isn't a blip.Multiple polls since the start of the year show the gap between the federal Conservatives and the federal Liberals is narrowing. According to Grenier, it's a trend that's leaving people scratching their heads.Coletto outlines why Prime Minister Mark Carney's popularity is a primary driver and marvels at the ‘bizarro world' in which the country finds itself — with a prime minister from Alberta who speaks of the province's virtues while selling Canada as a stable source of energy. If the numbers hold, he also wonders if Alberta could transition from a ‘flyover' province to a potential federal battleground.Host: Kathleen PettyGuests: David Coletto, Éric GrenierProducer: Diane Yanko

Did you know that nearly 90% of Canadians under 30 want to own a home? Or that 61% of Canadians believe the homes being built today don't meet the needs of Canadian households? While homeownership remains an important milestone, what it looks like and how Canadians think about it is changing.David Coletto, CEO and founder of Abacus Data, joins this episode of REAL TIME to discuss recent findings in research conducted with the Canadian Real Estate Association, focusing on how Canadians view homeownership, and how “good data drives good decisions” when it comes to fair housing policy in Canada.

David breaks down whether Canada is headed for a spring election, where Mark Carney sits in the polls, how Pierre Poilievre is resonating with voters, and how younger Canadians' housing frustration is deepening generational fault lines—alongside Chief Aaron Pete.Send us a textSupport the shownuancedmedia.ca

In this special episode of the Roundtable, Rudyard Griffiths is joined by Hub Politics' David Coletto, founder and CEO of Abacus Data, and Amanda Galbraith, co-founder and president of Oyster Group, to discuss the Carney government's upcoming budget and the potential for a snap election.

On the back half of the show, they discuss the strategic calculations facing the parties as the possibility of a snap election looms, with particular focus on how ongoing uncertainty in Canada-U.S. relations under Trump continues to benefit Carney's political positioning.

In this inaugural episode of Hub Politics, Sean Speer is joined by David Coletto, CEO of Abacus Data, and Amanda Galbraith, principal at Oyster Group, to analyse the opening of Parliament and the political landscape facing Prime Minister Carney's government. They discuss Carney's leadership style and the challenges of managing a broad Liberal coalition while preparing a high-stakes federal fall budget. They also examine Pierre Poilievre's strategy of using immigration policy as a wedge issue that could divide the Liberal coalition, and whether the Conservatives can broaden their appeal beyond Poilievre himself.   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)  Want more Hub?

A whirlwind election campaign has ended with Mark Carney leading the Liberal Party to victory, coming back from disastrous polling numbers just months ago.

Federal Conservative Party Leader, Pierre Poilievre, was positioned for a landslide win over the federal liberals, but incomes a new rival leader, and voters seem to have no problem moving the pendulum - and fast! Recent leaks from inside the campaign paint a chaotic picture for the federal tories just one month out from when Canadians head to the polls, and with the unpredictability of a diminishing Canada-US relationship, the concerns that shape the big ballot question come April 28 no longer mirror what they used to be just a few weeks ago. Host David Smith speaks to CEO of Abacus Data, David Coletto, about what's driving the pre-polling tank for a party once destined for victory, as well as what's grabbing the attention of Canadian voters in a time of economic despair, a pending North American trade war, and a sudden burst of Canadian patriotism.
