Podcast appearances and mentions of marco mendicino

In the latest episode of The Line Podcast, recorded on May 23, 2025, Matt and Jen check in on the early turbulence of the Carney era.First up: the new cabinet. There's a new energy minister visiting Calgary, staffing delays across the board, and yes — god help us — Marco Mendicino is still around. That's bad news for almost everyone, but possibly justice of a sort for Mendicino himself. They also start to sketch out what could prove to be Carney's eventual undoing. Along the way, Matt makes a rare — and oddly impassioned — defence of Justin Trudeau: no, he says, Trudeau wasn't great. But he wasn't as bad as some Liberals now seem desperate to believe.This episode of The Line Podcast is brought to you by Unsmoke Canada. Canada can be a global leader in reducing the harm caused by smoking, but it requires actionable steps, including giving adult smokers the information they need to choose potentially less harmful alternatives. Learn more at Unsmoke.ca.In the second segment, your hosts look ahead at the storm clouds gathering. A royal visit. A looming postal strike. And Jen has a message for the posties: doing this twice in one year might come back to bite you. Then Matt walks through Trump's latest missile defence announcement — yes, the so-called “golden dome” — and raises a pointed question: is Canada about to join a multi-hundred-billion-dollar ballistic missile defence system? If so, is this an elbows-up or elbows-down moment? And more importantly: did anyone ask Mike Myers first?This episode of On The Line is brought to you by Innovative Medicines Canada. With a new government in place, one thing remains clear: Canada must continue to prioritize patients and healthcare innovation. Innovative Medicines Canada is focused on collaborating with all levels of government to improve access to life-saving medicines and develop a healthcare system that prioritizes patients, ignites innovation, and drives economic growth. Canada's innovative medicines sector plays a critical role—not just in health outcomes, but in keeping us competitive on the global stage. That's why, even during a moment of political change, Innovative Medicines Canada is staying focused on the issues that matter most to Canadians. And as Canada moves forward with national pharmacare, Innovative Medicines Canada believes it's possible to expand access without limiting choice—by strengthening what works and fixing what doesn't. Visit innovativemedicines.ca to learn more.Finally, Matt and Jen turn to a grim and serious story: the brutal murder of two young Israeli embassy staffers in Washington, D.C. They discuss the how it really shouldn't be this hard to stake out a moral position on this issue, and yet, some people sure did find a way to screw it up. From there, Matt explains how a cascading failure of institutions — police, courts, politics — has created a dangerous void in Canada. And, tragically, the people being failed first and hardest are Canadian Jews.All that, and more, in the latest episode of The Line Podcast.

Greg Brady and the panel of: Steve Paikin Author and Broadcaster, host of TVO's ‘The Agenda' Chloe Brown, policy analyst and former Toronto mayoral candidate. Discuss: 1. Regardless of polls all over the map, and the challenges afoot - I think two things are clear about the upcoming federal election. It is a TRUE heavyweight fight...we all think the "next" election is a critical one in turning the country's sails in a certain direction - but this is going to generate a ton of interest, eclipse voter apathy and indifference, and we probably will all be sick of the slogans, the platforms, and the mud-wrestling. Yes? Huge interest? Especially in stark contrast to the recent provincial election? 2. It's a bit inside - but the first two appointments by Mark Carney.....old-school Liberal cabinet ministers who fell well out of favour in controversial circumstances in the Trudeau era - Marco Mendicino as Chief of Staff to Carney, and David Lametti, the Justice Minister who had some embarrassing secret texts revealed in the Freedom Convoy/Emergencies Act era when the Inquiry happened regarding government direction. Like, right away - not sure you're telling Canada...you're moving along and so many lessons have been learned! 3. OIivia Chow did not attend the scene of the shooting in Scarborough this weekend.....I know, I know - we spend a lot of time on where she is, what she goes to, and how she explains it away afterwards - her myriad of explanations for snubbing the October 7th vigil were......not awesome - what about this one? 4. We need more public bathrooms AND garbage bins in Toronto - this gets us on the road to one of the two, does it not??? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Herle Burly was created by Air Quotes Media with support from our presenting sponsor TELUS, as well as CN Rail.Greetings you loyal, you curious Herle Burly-ites! We've got a “MP Alert” on the pod today! The Honourable Marco Mendicino has graciously made some time for us. Marco is the long serving — since 2015 — Member of Parliament from Eglinton/Lawrence in Toronto. He's served in Cabinet as both the Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship … and more recently, Minister of Public Safety. Before public life, he was a federal prosecutor for more than a decade. And it's both his personal experiences and his political experience in the latter cabinet portfolio – Public Safety – that's going to inform the discussion we're having today. In the wake of last weekend's Trump assassination attempt, I want to explore this visceral and growing issue of political violence. As well as dive into the broader issues of national security and public safety.  What's fueling the vitriol and behaviour?How do we mitigate it?What's the government's role and what's the public's role? As I said, Marco has first-hand experience with all of it. So, who better to talk about it?Thank you for joining us on #TheHerleBurly podcast.

The episodes starts off with the story of Skigh Johnson, a Toronto resident who taped handwritten posters onto her local Starbucks to protest their support of genocide and their attack on workers who voiced pro-Palestinian views. What happens next is almost unbelievable - except it isn't and its how many activists are being targeted and made examples of.What happened to Skigh helped spark positive connections in her community as well. Out of it all a group formed, Eglinton-Lawrence and Don Valley for Palestine. They called it that because its made up of folks from those two electoral ridings who initially wanted to work together to pressure one of their local MPs, Marco Mendicino.But it became about more than that - it became about asserting their right to exist in their own neighbourhood.Listen in as five comrades talk about the police ban on protests, the confrontations they've had to endure, the media's failure and the very personal impact it has had on all of them.All of our content is free - made possible by the generous sponsorships of our Patrons.

Justin Trudeau has made a change to almost every single position in his cabinet, while keeping Chrystia Freeland as finance minister and Steven Guilbeault as environment minister, among a few other people. Marco Mendicino and David Lametti are among those out of cabinet altogether, while Bill Blair has been promoted to defense minister. Most importantly, Trudeau himself remains in power, so will anything change? True North's Andrew Lawton discusses with the Macdonald-Laurier Institute's Aaron Wudrick. Also, CBC has run a hit piece on a group of Christians who've decided to get involved in politics, accusing them of advocating for a world that is “unsafe” for “marginalized groups.” 4 My Canada founder Faytene Grasseschi joins The Andrew Lawton Show to respond.

We're just a few days away from the House of Commons summer break, with no clear steps in place to deal with foreign interference; Marco Mendicino says the buck stops with his office when it comes to the Paul Bernardo prison transfer – but that doesn't mean he'll resign; And we look at what the byelection results mean for the Liberals and the Conservatives.

What to watch out for in today's federal by-elections; The impact of the Paul Bernardo prison transfer on Marco Mendicino's political future; And the showdown in New Brunswick over changes to school LGTBQ policies at schools.

Developments this past week over the transfer of serial rapist/killer Paul Bernardo from an Ontario maximum security prison to a medium security institution in Quebec. Opposition calls for the resignation of public safety minister Marco Mendicino. Claims by Mendicino's staff they knew of the transfer long before it happened but did not share with their boss.  PM Justin Trudeau similarly says he was long unaware of any transfer of Bernardo. Meanwhile Bernardo is scheduled for a parole hearing in November. Guest: Tim Danson. Lawyer for the French and Mahaffy families who want the killer returned to a maximum security prison.   Canada is not participating in major NATO air forces exercise in Germany. Why? Because our aircraft are too old and technologically inferior (CF 18s).

The opposition is calling for Marco Mendicino's job, after his office failed to inform him of serial killer Paul Bernardo's transfer to a medium-security prison. Will heads roll because of this communication breakdown? Plus, The RCMP are starting their own investigation into foreign interference, does that add to the calls for a public inquiry? Rosemary Barton hosts Chantal Hébert, Andrew Coyne and Althia Raj.

Pierre Poilievre calls on Marco Mendicino to step down; The government disputes a parliamentary budget officer report that finds the investment in the Volkswagen battery plant will be almost 3-billion dollars more than advertised; And a Conservative MP's motion is defeated by the Liberals, Bloc Québécois and NDP, who claim it is a “backdoor” attempt to open the abortion debate.

Marco Mendicino's office allegedly knew about the transfer of convicted killer Paul Bernardo to a medium-security prison nearly three months before it happened. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's office claims Trudeau learned about the prison transfer the day it happened. Why didn't they do anything to stop it? Plus, a new Abacus Data poll shows that only 20% of Canadians say that Trudeau's Liberals deserve to be re-elected while 80% want a change of government. And the so-called feminist Liberal government voted down a Conservative bill that aimed to strengthen protections for vulnerable pregnant women.

Despite previous claims that Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino's office had no idea that convicted killer Paul Bernardo was getting transferred to medium security, in fact, Mendicino's staff knew for three months that the transfer was going to happen. Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre is calling on Mendicino to resign, though all the public safety minister is committing to is a new “policy directive” allowing for more information to be shared.

Documents published by the Public Order Emergency Commission show cabinet ministers Marco Mendicino and David Lametti talking about sending in Canadian Armed Forces tanks to deal with the Freedom Convoy – though Lametti said this was just "banter" between friends. True North's Andrew Lawton said the 'just kidding' defense doesn't pass muster when the government ended up using wartime powers to deal with the protest. Also, the Liberals are trying to expand their gun ban to include all semi-automatic guns. Rod Giltaca from the Canadian Coalition for Firearm Rights joins the show live to discuss why this will do nothing but criminalize law-abiding gun owners. Learn more about your ad choices.

Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino tells the convoy inquiry about the moment that was key for him as the Emergencies Act was about to be introduced to end the protest. Also, has Pierre Poilievre's statements on safe injection sites caused him new problems?  Bruce Anderson and SMT has some answers.  

Glen McGregor, CTV News; Charles Bordeleau, former Chief of Police of the Ottawa Police Service; and Tim Houston, Nova Scotia Premier. 

Text messages between staffers in Justin Trudeau's and Marco Mendicino's offices reveal in the early stages of the convoy the Liberal government was focused on the convoy's "narrative" rather than any purported threat to national security. These messages were published by the Public Order Emergency Commission yesterday, and support the idea that the protest was a political opportunity and not a national emergency, True North's Andrew Lawton says. Also, convoy organizers have finally been able to tell their story. Plus, Aaron Gunn joins the show to talk about his explosive documentary "Vancouver is Dying." Learn more about your ad choices.

It is that time of the week where we check in with Managing Editor over at Blacklock's Reporter, Tom Korski, where he and his team dig up all the juicy details into all things Ottawa. It's the story that keeps on giving as the House of Commons Committee on Immigration has called an urgent meeting next week to discuss allegations that the department and former minister misled a federal judge during a trademark infringement case... an allegation former immigration minister Marco Mendicino has categorically denied. So who's to blame in trying to pull a fast one on a federal judge?

It is that time of the week where we dig deep into all things Ottawa and lots of questions are being asked about why former Immigration Minister, Marco Mendicino, and the Privy Council Office backdated documents in an apparent bid to mislead a federal judge in a trademark dispute. And he won't talk. And it appears the records now seem to be blacked out. Except the date and email addresses. Tom Korski, Managing Editor of Blacklocks Reporter, joined us and said that the big question is - why would the minister issue a fake order in council? That and more on today's Blacklock's Check In.

Every Tuesday and Thursday, we go deep into the nooks and crannies of Ottawa to find you those juicy stories that just don't get the attention they deserve. At the heart of it we find Tom Korski, Managing Editor of Blacklock's Reporter, and today, Tom has found some damning information regarding Public Safety Minister, Marco Mendicino who backdated government documents in an apparent bid to mislead a federal judge. Also, Tom talks about how federal departments are spending billions on consultants with little oversight, the Commons government operations committee was told yesterday. Is it possible they lost track of $24 Billion? All of that and more on today's Blacklock's Check In.

The finger of blame was pointed directly at Donald Trump last night for the  January 6, 2021 insurrection on Capitol Hill.  Chantal and Bruce with their take on whether that blame will become the accepted truth.  Also the latest on the investigation into the use of the Emergencies Act in Ottawa, and can Pierre Poilievre be caught by his rivals for the Conservative leadership?

David Menzies and Natasha Biase are live from the Rebel News studio, while Elon Musk's purchase of Twitter has sent liberals and progressives into hysterics, and Canada's public safety minister, Marco Mendicino, wants to remind everyone that the Trudeau government invoked the Emergencies Act for all of our health and safety.
