POPULARITY
Jody Wilson-Raybould, also known by her initials JWR and by her Kwak'wala name Puglaas, is a Canadian politician and the Independent Member of Parliament for the riding of Vancouver Granville. She served as Minister of Justice and Attorney General in the cabinet of Justin Trudeau from 2015 until January 2019 and then as Minister of Veterans Affairs of Canada from January 14, 2019, until resigning on February 12, 2019. Before entering federal politics, she was a provincial Crown Prosecutor in Vancouver, a Treaty Commissioner and Regional Chief of the B.C. Assembly of First Nations. Wilson-Raybould studied at the University of Victoria and later at the University of British Columbia. She lives with her husband Tim Raybould in Vancouver. We met in Ottawa the day after her book From Where I Stand, Rebuilding Indigenous Nations for a Stronger Canada was launched and talked, among other things, about telling the truth in politics - the whole truth; about exactly what 'title' means; about launching a book in the middle of an election; about keeping promises, Justin Trudeau and SNC Lavalin, Alberto Manguel, Conrad Black, the Royal Proclamation of 1763, Confederation, assimilation, the Charter of Rights, the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People, reconciliation, indigenous self government, community development, revenue sharing, spousal travel, and creating a more 'just society'.
In this episode Cam reviews the most recent events in Canadian politics, the latest LavScam drama, the run up to the Leaders Debates and the recent news around the NDP. Then he goes into the provincial election taking place in Manitoba, the state of play going into it and about how offensive comments from Conservative Leader Brian Pallister have made the campaign quite nasty.
Born in Buenos Aires in 1948, Alberto Manguel grew up in Tel-Aviv, where his father served as the first Argentinian ambassador to Israel. At sixteen, while working at the Pygmalion bookshop in Buenos Aires, he was asked by the blind Jorge Luis Borges to read aloud to him at his home. Manguel left Argentina for Europe before the horrors of the 'disappeared' began, and just after the events of May 1968. During the 1970s he lived a peripatetic life in France, England, Italy, and Tahiti, reviewing, translating, editing, and always reading. In the 1980s he moved to Toronto, Canada where he lived and raised his three children for almost twenty years. He became a Canadian citizen and continues to identify his nationality as first and foremost Canadian. In 2000, Manguel purchased with his partner and renovated a medieval presbytery in the Poitou-Charentes region of France to house his 30,000 books. They left France for New York in 2015. He has received many prizes, was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship and honorary doctorates from the universities of Liège, in Belgium, Anglia Ruskin in Cambridge, UK, and York and Ottawa in Canada. He is a Commandeur de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres (France). We met in Montreal at the Blue Met Literary Festival to talk about his latest book Packing My Library (published by Yale University Press). The conversation turns to Canadian politics and Jody Wilson Raybould at about the 42 minute mark and rages on and off from there to the finish. It's a passionate exchange about justice and honesty, and how literature informs real life.
Welcome to Rebel Roundup, ladies and gentlemen – and the rest of you – in which we look back at some of the very best commentaries of the week by your favourite Rebels. I’m your host, David Menzies. How bad is LavScam getting for Justin Trudeau? Would you believe that dozens of young women who would’ve given him a standing ovation in the House of Commons just a few months ago, are now literally turning their backs on the PM? Rebel Commander Ezra Levant has the latest on the ongoing SNC-Lavalin dumpster fire. So our Calgary Mission Specialist was in the riding of Calgary Varsity the other day doing what all reporters do: asking questions. But current NDP candidate/former communist Ann McGrath didn’t care for his questions. So she called the cops! Keenan Bexte joins us with the details! Our Tinsletown Rebel recently attended a screening of the entire Dark Knight trilogy, an event hosted by director Christopher Nolan himself. Unsurprisingly, many on the left loathe the right-of-centre narrative of these films. Ben Davies joins us to explain why these leftists are really a bunch of jokers. And finally letters. I’ll share some of your responses regarding the removal of a high-risk transgender pedophile from a female halfway house in Brampton, Ontario. Apparently he violated his parole conditions in less than a week – gee, who saw that coming?
This week, on the "Gone Girl" edition of Political Traction: the tale of #LavScam, told from two different perspectives. Our host Amanda Galbraith is joined by John Delacourt, Vice-President of Ensight, Navigator's sister firm, and an accomplished author and political suspense novelist. Then, we will hear John's take on the reintroduction of religious symbols legislation in Quebec, and the scoop on Butterfly, his new political thriller novel.

Budget season has sprung— or is it still the long winter of #LavScam discontent? The Liberals present a final goodie-basket budget that sets up the next election, and try to turn the page on SNC-Lavalin. This week on Political Traction, Marieke Walsh, friend of the podcast and iPolitics reporter, joins us to look at the bottom line after a busy week in Ottawa.

Welcome to Rebel Roundup, ladies and gentlemen – and the rest of you – in which we look back at some of the very best commentaries of the week by your favourite Rebels. I’m your host, David Menzies. Ezra Levant is just back from the UK where he was covering the latest Tommy Robinson trial... a trial in which Ezra himself became part of the story. And what a story! Ezra Levant joins us with the details. As the dumpster fire known as LavScam continues to blaze, Justin’s loyal Liberal minions are touring the Dominion trying to cause distractions to make us all forget about this scandal. Is it working? Calgary-based Rebel Keean Bexte joins us to explain why he doesn’t think so. It should go without saying that those who sexually prey on minors should be locked up, shunned, and vilified... and that’s typically the case. But they do things differently in Hollywood. Apparently, perverts are tolerated in Tinseltown as long as they’re making money for the studios. Our Hollywood Conservative Amanda Head will explain all. And finally letters. I’ll share some of your responses regarding our mission to Ottawa last Monday in which we delivered some very stern messages to the Trudeau Liberals via our jumbotron-equipped truck. Oh, what a day!
