Ruby Dhalla, an Indo-Canadian former MP, was disqualified from the Liberal Party of Canada's leadership race on February 21, 2025, just days before key debates in Montreal. The party's Leadership Vote Committee unanimously cited 10 "extremely serious" violations of campaign rules, including financial irregularities and the alleged involvement of a non-Canadian citizen, prompting concerns about potential foreign interference linked to India. Dhalla denounced the decision as "shocking and deeply disappointing," rejecting the allegations as "fabricated, fictitious, and fake," and claimed her disqualification—leaked to the media before she was officially notified—was a move to silence her outsider candidacy challenging the party establishment. The race now continues with four remaining contenders, including Mark Carney, amid heightened scrutiny over its integrity.

In today's pod Joanna and I look at the rapidly changing landscape of our federal system in provincial landscape and point to the classic same-old-same-old realities we've been discussing in New Brunswick. We call this our 3rd Groundhog day podcast because, despite some significant changes, we are hearing the same things being said and seeing the Holt Liberals repeat the talking points that every other government has repeated. So everything is changing but is anyone actually changing what they are doing or proposing? Let's talk about it. 

 The Liberal Party of Canada leadership contest. Front runners Mark Carney and Chrystia Freeland. How do they differ and what do they offer Canadians? Others are running and perhaps have yet to enter the race? What are their chances of impacting or even winning?  Guest: Stephen LeDrew.

The federal Liberal Party will have a new leader on March 9, but do Canadians care at all? Does that new Federal Liberal leader, whoever it may turn out to be, have a snowball's chance of winning the upcoming federal election?   Guest: Darrell Bricker. CEO of IPSOS Public Affairs Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The prime minister says his resignation yesterday will take effect after his party chooses a new leader.

Send us a textTalk about good timing. On the heels of a caucus revolt, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau sat down with Frisco and Scott for a wide-ranging interview that was scheduled well in advance of all the political drama this week on Parliament Hill. Asked again if he has any intention of resigning, Trudeau was adamant he isn't going anywhere. “I am determined to lead this party into the next election because we need to put all our tools together and I am actually really excited about this fight,” he told the podcast. Apart from the big news of the week, Trudeau spent more than 30 minutes answering our questions about immigration levels, public transit, affordable housing, the U.S. presidential election — even Taylor Swift. We also dug into Trudeau's dismal polling numbers, and why he is still convinced he can turn things around and beat Pierre Poilievre in the next election (whenever that is). In one of the more candid moments of our conversation, the Prime Minister also talked about what it's like to see his name plastered on all those “F— Trudeau” flags and bumper stickers. Whichever party you support, you'll want to hear his answer.Reach out to us anytime: itv@villagemedia.caFollow: X, YouTube

Marc Garneau has made history twice. As the first Canadian to fly to outer space and as the first astronaut elected to the House of Commons.

And Marc Garneau joins Steve Paikin to discuss.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is trying to do something that's never been done before in Canadian history. He says he will fight for a fourth consecutive victory, despite being miles behind his Conservative adversary in the polls. Stephen Maher, author of "The Prince: The Turbulent Reign of Justin Trudeau," joins Steve Paikin to discuss this and more. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Andrew Perez is a principal at Perez Strategies, a Liberal Party of Canada member and strategist. Perez' view, repeat national polling notwithstanding, if Justin Trudeau resigns very soon there remains a small window of opportunity for the Liberal Party to be returned to power in the upcoming federal election.

At least one current member of parliament and several former Liberal politicians are questioning the Prime Minister's leadership after a surprising by-election defeat in Toronto. The Prime Minister says he'll keep fighting for Canadians, and members of his cabinet have come out in his support. But what do you think should happen next?

The global economy is rapidly changing, with some people saying that both Globalization and Liberalism are finished. Have the woke politics of Justin Trudeau destroyed the core of the Liberal Party in Canada to the point it cannot be saved? Or, will we witness the return of the Liberal Party … once our current Prime Minister steps aside? Patrick Gosage has seen the evolution of the Liberal Party many times during his lifetime, he was the Press Secretary to Pierre Elliott Trudeau - he joins Stephen LeDrew to discuss this for Three Minutes.

Many more Canadians will begin receiving Ottawa's climate action incentive payment starting Friday.

Now, the Russian leader had announced that Wagner “simply” does not exist as a “legal entity” in Russia. It is all coming up on the Hamilton Today Podcast!

Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau joined the CBC for a town hall with undecided voters on Tuesday night. This provided the perfect contrast to show how differently the CBC and host Rosemary Barton treat Trudeau, versus how they treated Conservative Leader Erin O'Toole one night earlier. The questions Trudeau faced were absurdly soft, some of the “undecided voters” were openly Liberal and Barton didn't push back nearly as hard as she did against the Conservative Leader. It's no wonder why. This is the third straight election where Justin Trudeau has pledged more money to the CBC, promising them a bigger budget, higher salaries, more taxpayer money in exchange for this kind of coverage. The CBC is the media arm of the Liberal Party of Canada, their television personalities pretend to be journalists, but they're not, they are Trudeau allies helping their man get re-elected.

It was a busy week at Queen's Park. Just days after announcing a vaccine passport for the province, the Ontario legislature was prorogued until Oct. 4. In this week's episode, Steve Paikin and John Michael McGrath will have an update on that. They will also discuss the details of the vaccine passports and why small businesses are concerned. Also, the end of the truce between Doug Ford and Justin Trudeau. And why did the Ontario Covid-19 Science Advisory Table quietly release new modelling with no news conference? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, I dive deep on the leaked LPC memo in which an anonymous source sheds light on the Canadian government's plans for the 2nd wave lockdowns, internment camps, vaccines and the “World Debt Relief Program”.

On The West Block podcast this week Mercedes Stephenson recounts the record numbers of COVID-19 cases that continue to sweep across the country. She asks Conservative Party Leader, Erin O'Toole, about his take on Canada's response to the pandemic. Internationally, O'Toole says it's time for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to get serious on China from a security, human rights and trade perspective. Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Minister, Marco Mendicino, says Canada continues to take a “strong and principled” stand on China. And for a look inside the municipal response to COVID-19, Mercedes talks to Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi, who says COVID-19 restrictions need to be smart and targeted to slow the spread of the virus.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The provincial government announced today hospitals would be allowed to start up surgical procedures delayed due to COVID-19. It's a welcome relief for people who have been waiting for weeks, but a lot of questions remain, including how will hospitals prioritize who goes first?

A skeleton crew of MPPs convened in the legislature today to extend Ontario's state of emergency and to address the crisis in the province's long-term-care homes, which continue to be hit hard by COVID-19. The premier announced further measures to try to stop the deaths, but is it too little, too late? Hosts Steve Paikin and John Michael McGrath discuss the new efforts.

The provincial government has announced new guidelines around who should be tested for COVID-19. Hosts Steve Paikin and John Michael McGrath discuss whether these changes will help solve Ontario's testing problem. Also, new unemployment numbers reveal the staggering impact the pandemic is having on the economy. Today's episode looks at Ontario's plans for recovery.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has revealed the federal government's $82-billion emergency response package designed to help Canadian businesses and individuals bridge the gaps created by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Karen McCrimmon, a military pioneer-turned-federal politician, discusses her 31-years of distinguished service in the Canadian Armed Forces, during which time she broke barriers. Karen was the first woman in Canadian history to serve as an air navigator, and the first woman to command a squadron. She talks about effective leadership, and compares it to a bank account, by pointing out that you build trust like you would build money in an account. Karen tells host Bonnie Mouck about making the move towards federal politics after retiring from the military in 2006. She was elected as a Liberal member of parliament for Kanata-Carleton in 2015, and talks about her desire to serve others.

For the second time since the start of the Trudeau government, the Federal Cabinet has been shuffled. Canadians can expect this being the team that will lead the LPC into the next election. There are no such things as surprises at this level anymore, by design. After all, message control is as much a part of governing as actual execution and delivery in this day and age. Cabinet grows by five to 35 members but maintains gender parity. Message #1. Eleven Ministers were moved to new portfolios and/or had their duties altered, but nobody was dropped. Message #2. Some new buzzwords and some old ones reused. Border Security. Organized Crime. Trade Diversification. Seniors. Interprovincial Trade. Message #3. British Columbia, Quebec and Ontario MPs get the majority of new exposure, all regions that need shoring up before next year's vote. Yet Atlantic Canada, a clean sweep in 2015, loses clout. Message #4. Despite the purposeful release of Ministerial Letters in short order previously, don't expect it this time, especially if that P word gets used as many are predicting. There is a definite possibility that Parliament will be prorogued before returning in the fall. This would accomplish clearing the Order Papers of languishing bills that may suddenly seem not so important to a Government nearing the next election and allow for the initial reveal of the LPC campaign via a new Speech from the Throne. Sunny ways priorities, after all. The View Up Here will examine all the players, their roles and the possible effects on a Government's primary goal. Getting re-elected.

How Fairness and Growth for the Middle Class Benefits Everyone

Over the past quarter century, political parties have too often lurched away from being mass movements of individual Canadians sharing a common vision of the public good, and towards being backdrops for individual party leaders who speak the language of democracy while wielding near-absolute power over their elected caucuses.

The 20th century began as the age of the dictator. It ended with liberalism having come of age as the ascendant political philosophy across the world. Yet liberal parties everywhere are in crisis. Can they grow with the success of liberalism, or have they been outgrown by the success of their own political philosophy?
