POPULARITY
The past week saw a surge in energy-related political developments in Canada. Prime Minister Carney issued a unified Mandate Letter to his cabinet on May 21, 2025, emphasizing that Canada “must build an enormous amount of new infrastructure at speeds not seen in generations. This includes the infrastructure to diversify our trading relationships; to become an energy superpower in both clean and conventional energies.” The newly appointed Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, Tim Hodgson, delivered a constructive message during his visit to Calgary, highlighting the importance of building energy infrastructure, including oil and gas. Meanwhile, the Premiers from Western Canada convened a meeting in Yellowknife. They released a joint statement agreeing to plan and develop an economic corridor for “transporting oil and gas, liquefied natural gas, uranium, electricity, and hydroelectricity to Canadian and world markets.” To discuss these developments, we are joined by our guest, The Honourable Gordon Campbell, President of Hawksmuir International Partners Limited. He is the former Premier of British Columbia (2001–2011), Canadian High Commissioner to the UK and Northern Ireland (2011–2016), and Mayor of Vancouver (1986–1993). Here are some of the questions Jackie and Peter posed to The Honourable Gordon Campbell: Based on the Carney government's constructive comments on energy infrastructure and attracting private investment, including the Energy and Natural Resources Minister's trip to Calgary last week, would you anticipate a new approach from the Liberals compared to the previous decade? The Western Premiers issued a joint statement to develop economic corridors, including those for transporting electricity, natural gas, and oil. What types of projects do you expect David Eby's NDP government to support in British Columbia? Would you expect the Federal government to revise or repeal energy policies, particularly those that might deter capital investment, such as the industrial carbon pricing policy set to increase to $170 per tonne by 2030 or the oil and gas emissions cap?

On November 5th, Donald Trump was elected as the 47th President of the United States. The Republicans gained a majority in both the Senate and the House of Representatives. There were also recent provincial elections in Canada, including British Columbia, where the incumbent NDP party nearly lost power to the Conservatives. Federally, in Canada, there is potential for a spring election.This week, Shachi Kurl, President of the Angus Reid Institute, joins the podcast to talk about the recent elections and polling.Here are some of the questions that Jackie and Peter asked Shachi: What does the election of Donald Trump tell you about the state of democracies? How important of an issue is immigration? To what extent do Canadians support Trump's policies and approach? What is the likelihood of US import tariffs of 10-20% being applied to Canada? What are the likely energy policies from the Trump administration? What are the priorities in British Columbia post-election, and do you expect any change with respect to natural resource development and LNG? How could the election of President Trump impact the next Canadian election? Do you expect any leadership changes for the Liberals? How does climate change rate as a priority for Canadian voters?Content referenced in this podcast: Angus Reid InstituteShachi Kurl, Ottawa Citizen Article, “Don't expect a unified ‘Team Canada' approach to Donald Trump this time” (Nov 8, 2024) Awaiting the next President: Canadians prefer Trudeau to deal with Harris, Poilievre to work with Trump (Nov 4, 2024)Please review our disclaimer at: https://www.arcenergyinstitute.com/disclaimer/ Check us out on social media: X (Twitter): @arcenergyinstLinkedIn: @ARC Energy Research Institute Subscribe to ARC Energy Ideas PodcastApple PodcastsAmazon MusicSpotify

That wasn't the case for Blaine Higgs in New Brunswick, who lost not only the premier's chair but his own seat.What happened in these three provincial campaigns — and what lessons might be drawn out of them as Justin Trudeau, Pierre Poilievre and Jagmeet Singh prepare for the upcoming federal election?The Pollster Panel is back on The Writ Podcast to provide their perspectives.Dan Arnold, chief strategy officer at Pollara, was director of research and advertising in Justin Trudeau's prime minister's office and was the Liberals' pollster during the last three federal election campaigns.Andrew Enns is executive vice-president at Léger.

As we await the final results of Saturday's B.C. election, we discuss the potential outcomes and how the legislature could function with a minority government with Max Cameron, UBC political science professor. Then, at least two people are dead after an atmospheric river hit southwest B.C. on the weekend, triggering mudslides and washouts. We discuss the severity of these kinds of weather events and how municipalities can prepare with Kai Chan, UBC Institute for Resources, Environment and Sustainability professor.
id David Eby's NDP win and lose the B.C. election at the same time? You could make the argument, with an outcome as tight as it gets. What does such a narrow margin say about the state of that province, and federal politics for that matter? Meantime, the crisis in Lebanon is so bad that Syrian refugees who fled there are actually returning home. Humanitarian groups are doing what they can to provide the bare essentials to more than a million people impacted by Israeli airstrikes, but it's not enough. Why is the international community ignoring it, for the most part? We dig into these top stories - and highlight one of the most entertaining "good news" stories we've ever seen - in this episode of Real Talk. 2:30 | Political commentator Rob Shaw takes us into the B.C. election results, including why it was so close, and what could change over the days to come.

Tomorrow, British Columbians head to the polls in a provincial election that's seen plenty of twists and turns.There was the collapse of the B.C. United party, formerly the B.C Liberal party, which really opened the door for the further rise of the B.C. Conservative Party, and its leader John Rustad.Rustad, who's running to be premier of B.C., is in a tight race with sitting B.C. NDP premier David Eby. Controversial and conspiracy-laden comments by Rustad himself, and a number of his candidates have taken up a lot of oxygen.CBC's B.C. provincial affairs reporter Katie Derosa joins host Jayme Poisson to sort through all the political drama.For transcripts of Front Burner, please visit: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/frontburner/transcripts

B.C. NDP Leader David Eby takes your questions ahead of election dayWe speak to a climate change policy expert on each party's plan to address climate change and ask our audience to weigh in on how important climate is to them in this election.
British Columbia voters are so unhappy that they might elect a party this week that barely existed two years ago: the Conservatives led by John Rustad. No wonder. As veteran B.C. politics columnist Vaughn Palmer tells Brian, voters see crime as out of control; drug decriminalization creating no-go zones everywhere; and immigration soaring even as the housing crisis seems worse than ever. Meanwhile, their made-in-B.C. carbon tax has become punishing. NDP Leader David Eby appears desperate to disown his record since taking over as premier last year. But, as Palmer explains, although Rustad is less polished and has some problematic candidates, the surprising closeness of this race speaks to how bad things seem to so many.

On this episode of The Construction Record Podcast, digital media editor Warren Frey has two interviews with Independent Contractors and Business Association (ICBA BC) president Chris Gardner and BC Building Trades executive director Brynn Bourke about who they're endorsing and what they want to see for their sectors after the election on Oct. 19. Gardner said the ICBA is supporting the BC Conservatives and its leader John Rustad and pointed to the current NDP government's use of community benefit agreements (CBA) as one of the main reasons. Bourke said the BC Building Trades are allied with the BC NDP and current B.C. premier David Eby and also voiced the organization's support for CBAs and other NDP labour policies.

Welcome to the 2024-2025 NFL season! In this episode, hosts Eric Glazer, David Eby (the Ambassador), and Greg Roth dive into their top Week 1 NFL betting picks using insights from leading handicappers. Learn how the team's expert-driven algorithm ranks the picks and discover which games hold the most promise for savvy bettors. In This Episode: Recap of Last Season: The team reflects on their solid performance last year, hitting a 56% ATS (Against the Spread) success rate on DraftKings Pick Five and 61% in their 3-2-1 contest. The Picks Breakdown: This week's top-rated games, categorized into Gold, Silver, and Bronze: Gold Games: Tennessee Titans (+4.5) vs. Chicago Bears: Multiple handicappers, including Steve Physic and Scott Seidenberg, back the Titans. New York Jets (+4.5) vs. San Francisco 49ers: No sharps favor the 49ers, with top picks for the Jets coming from the likes of Mike Lombardi and R.J. Bell. Silver Games: Carolina Panthers (+4.5) vs. New Orleans Saints: The Panthers receive strong backing, with notable names from the Action Network supporting the pick. Atlanta Falcons (-2.5) vs. Pittsburgh Steelers: Sharps like Kyle Long and Steve Hasek are backing the Falcons. Bronze Games: Jacksonville Jaguars (+3.5) vs. Miami Dolphins: Handicappers such as Mike Lombardi are favoring the Jaguars, while the Dolphins have limited support. Seattle Seahawks (-5.5) vs. Denver Broncos: Despite some dissent, sharps like Marco D'Angelo pick the Seahawks. Key Insights: Betting on rookie quarterbacks comes with caution—historically, they are 5-15-1 ATS in their first 21 games, a stat to consider in the Titans vs. Bears matchup. The Jets benefit from the "Super Bowl loser hangover" trend, with the 49ers' poor Week 1 ATS record adding weight to the pick. The Panthers, coming off an improved offseason with a better offensive line and coaching staff, are gaining traction as a smart pick. Betting Trends: Underdogs on Monday Night Football: They are 29-12-1 ATS since 1998, a stat applying to the Jets in Week 1. Favorites of 7+ Points in Week 1: Historically, they are 14-27 ATS since 2003, with teams like the Bengals fitting this trend.

David Eby goes on the anti-Ottawa tear, the BC Conservatives have a health plan and Trudeau loses a friend & cabinet Minister
The last two weeks in B.C. politics have been frenetic ones. First, B.C. United leader Kevin Falcon revealed that the B.C. Conservatives had pulled out of negotiations meant to prevent a vote-split that could re-elect David Eby's NDP government. Then, the Conservatives announced that one BCU MLA, and then a second, were crossing the floor to join John Rustad's party.It's a lot of high drama with little more than four months to go before British Columbia's provincial election in October, so this week I'm joined by Richard Zussman, Global News legislative reporter in Victoria, to break it all down.THE NUMBERS: On this week's episode of The Numbers podcast, available for Patreon members here, we talk about the news out of Ottawa on the reduction in the Bank of Canada's interest rate, as well as a new report on foreign interference. Will anything move the polls? Plus, with two floor-crossings in British Columbia, is B.C. United finished? We also chat about new provincial polls out of Quebec and Alberta, and answer questions from the mailbag. To close, Philippe tests me with a competition-level Quiz.In addition to listening to this episode of The Writ Podcast in your inbox, at TheWrit.ca or on podcast apps like Apple Podcasts, you can also watch this episode on YouTube.

Conservatives closing the gap with (or even beating) David Eby's NDP. We also break down the results of last week's two provincial byelections in Ontario. In the mailbag, we tackle the polling woes of Justin Trudeau's Liberals and more. Finally, Philippe has another Quiz this week — though one that's a tad easier than last week's.In addition to listening to this episode of The Writ Podcast in your inbox, at TheWrit.ca or on podcast apps like Apple Podcasts, you can also watch this episode on YouTube.
