It's been a week. Canada/US relations have never been so low. Attacks on each other's trade strategies, attacks on our sovereignty, even a pathetic, rather lame attack on one of the Great Lakes that shares our joint border. Sounds like enough for a final, special summer episode of Good Talk. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Wochenlang haben wir in den letzten Monaten recherchiert. Immer wieder gab es dieses Achselzucken, wenn wir davon erzählten. Seegras? Kenn' ich nicht, wozu brauchen wir das? Kann Kultur an diesem Achselzucken etwas ändern und auf den Wert der grünen Wiesen im Meer aufmerksam machen? Musiker:innen wie die Spanierin Coco Francavilla versuchen es mit Musik aus Wiesensounds. Dafür nimmt sie den Klang im Gras mit Unterwassermikrofonen auf und komponiert damit Soundlandschaften, auch anderen Künstler:innen sind bereits an Bord. Die Lübeckerin Felicia Simon dagegen setzt bei ihren Bildern auf die verborgene Schönheit der getrockneten Halme. Mal schimmern sie golden, mal grün, mal grau wie Stahl. Immer sind die Blätter geometrisch, gerade, grafisch, wie sonst nur wenig in der Natur. Das Künstler:innen-Duo Laura Laipple und Louis Bindernagel wiederum, dreht aus Seegras Zöpfe, umschlingt Bänke, Stühle und Hocker damit. Wir haben den ganzen Good Talk über darauf gesessen – eine Wonne. Und Kulturwissenschaftler Jonas Stuck erzählt, warum die Andrea von Braun Stiftung bei ihren Förderungen oft auf Kultur setzt, um etwas für die Natur zu erreichen. Viel Spaß bei Teil drei unseres Podcasts vom Good Talk XXL am 9. Juli im Publix in Berlin. In diesem Podcast erfahrt ihr Wie aus Gras Bilder werden Wieviel Spaß Seegras flechten machen kann und was sich damit bewirken lässt Wie sich die Förderlandschaft mehr auf Klimakurs begeben könnte „Good Impact“ ist ein Podcast von Good Impact.

It's our first Summer of '26 special Good Talk and there's lots to talk about. This week it's wildfires and the smoke they cause, upsetting the Canada/U.S. relationship. Chantal Hebert and Bruce Anderson take a break from their summers to discuss. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.
Sometimes sport can be such a nice distraction. Like last night. Canada's first-ever win in World Cup Soccer. And what a win, 6-0 in front of a home crowd in Vancouver. Nice distraction for the PM, who was in attendance, after what some felt was a bended-knee performance for Donald Trump at the G7 in France. He wasn't alone. What was that all about? Do they still think it pays off? Chantal and Bruce are here. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Lots of good talk on Good Talk this week, starting with Chantal and Bruce on Mark Carney's trip to Paris today and his talks with Emmanuel Macron. France is hosting the G7 next week, but for many, it's really a G6 with Donald Trump's America, no friend of the group. That and CUSMA and social media bans top the discussion agenda today. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.
First up this week, Prime Minister Carney summed up a critical week in the Canada-US trade discussions with the phrase, "some progress." So what does that mean? Plus the AI strategy. Then both Bruce Anderson and Chantal Hebert discuss the fall of an iconic broadcast network - CBS, and the "60 Minutes" debacle. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Find out what you need in place before releasing music, why proactivity is your superpower, and how saying no can grow your career. Essential listening for artists, managers, and aspiring insiders!
How do you MAGA - Make America Great Again? According to Mark Carney, the answer is, MCS, Make Canada Strong. That was part of the message the PM gave American business leaders in New York yesterday. Bruce and Chantal are here to discuss and put it all in context. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

As weeks go by, this couldn't have been worse for Alberta Premier Danielle Smith It's one thing to get in a fight with Ottawa, even a neighbouring Premier, but your own party? Your own cabinet? Over a referendum. That's just one of the topics up for discussion with Chantel Hebert and Bruce Anderson. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Encore Episode. Mark Carney says Canada can become an energy superpower, given its potential in oil, gas, electricity, solar, and wind. But as we are seeing now, to get there, some old promises need to change. Is that price too high? Just some of the questions and one of the issues for Chantal and Bruce on today's Good Talk.

Former Alberta Premier Jason Kenney says the federalist side is dragging its feet in organizing for a likely referendum on separation in Alberta. There's a lot happening on the Alberta story, and it seems to get messier by the week. Bruce and Chantal have their Good Talk thoughts on this and more. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.
The message from Mark Carney to Conservative MP Jamil Jivani was very clear -- there's only one player on the Canadian team negotiating with the US and that's his government. The plot thickens. Bruce and Chantal have their say. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.
The Prime Minister keeps his cool in public, but he's said to sometimes lose that cool in private. This week we saw him come close to bluntly telling the Americans to back off with the demands and get with the program on trade talks. That's just one of the things up for some Good Talk with Chantal Hebert and Bruce Anderson this week. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Almost two months ago, Pierre Poilievre seemed to have rounded a corner. The "attack dog" politician became, or so it seemed, the friendly one, talking about respect and a time for unity. Well those days are gone, long gone, after a week where the old Poilievre seemed back in full force. Bruce and Chantal are back with their assessments of what all this means.

This has to be the worst of times for Donald Trump - nothing is going right, and the US President looks increasingly unhinged on a daily basis. Even some of his base are abandoning him. With Chantal away, former Washington correspondent Keith Boag joins Bruce for some serious Trump talk. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

A terrible crash of an Air Canada jet in New York becomes a language crisis at the top of the country's national airline. The airline employs more than 35 thousand people, about a third of them in Montreal. But their Montreal based CEO speaks only English and this week that became painfully clear. Bruce and Chantal have their thoughts on what this says about Canadian bilingualism. Plus final thoughts on the NDP race. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The Conservative leader went on the most popular podcast in the United States yesterday and kept the conversation going for more than two hours and twenty minutes. And if you believe Bruce and Chantal he did very well. Will it make a difference? Also on Good Talk, the Iran war and America's allies, just where do they, including Canada, stand? And more.

Donald Trump's miscalculations on the impact of a war in Iran go well beyond the price of oil, and if the war doesn't end soon, we're all, Canada included, going to feel it. Bruce Anderson and Chantal Hebert join for the regular Friday Good Talk, where we'll also discuss: more floor crossings, more dilemmas for the NDP, and a strange answer from a prominent Conservative.

We once again gathered around the table to discuss comics, from news to questions to talk about recent comics that came out.
Within hours of the US and Israeli attack on Iran and the assassination of that country's leader, Mark Carney was out with his initial thoughts on the conflict. Since then there's been some clarification on what he meant but there's also been some concern in Liberal circles. Chantal and Bruce have their thoughts on this and a lot more on this week's Good Talk. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Pierre Poilievre is getting generally pretty good reviews for his major speech yesterday outlining his vision for Canada-U.S. relations. It wasn't just what he said but the way he said it.

Rob Kelly is the founder of ALWAYS READY™ and a former New Hampshire police officer, Department of Defense contractor, K9 instructor/handler, and lifelong public servant. Built on a foundation of discipline, mindset, and action, ALWAYS READY™ was born from Rob’s personal transformation and his commitment to helping others take ownership of their lives. In December 2023, Rob hit a breaking point—overweight, burned out, and stuck in self-made excuses. Instead of chasing motivation, he chose discipline. That shift—from “I should” to “I must”—sparked a complete transformation and became the core philosophy behind ALWAYS READY™. Today, Rob’s mission is simple but uncompromising: help people uncover their “why,” eliminate excuses, and show up stronger in body, mind, and purpose. ALWAYS READY™ is more than a brand—it’s a movement for anyone willing to build real readiness for life’s challenges, whether in service, work, family, or personal growth. Being ALWAYS READY™ means cultivating a resilient body, a disciplined mind, and a heart grounded in service—ready to face whatever comes next.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
A new poll in the United States has Americans being told that there's a real chill from Canadians about their southern neighbours, and the word "hate" is used. Feelings are strong, but that strong? Bruce and Chantal on that, plus Alberta calls for a referendum on October 19th, but no question yet on separation. Plus more on leadership challenges for the Conservatives and the NDP.

Remember that old saying "Stick a fork in him, he's done"? Some people are beginning to say that about Donald Trump, which may well work in Canada's favour. A little early or no? Chantal Hebert and Bruce Anderson on that, and also more on the possible Alberta referendum and Washington's supposed involvement. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Not even a week after Pierre Poilievre's resounding victory at the leadership review vote in Calgary, the Conservative leader found himself struggling. Why?
