Podcast appearances and mentions of Mark Carney

MONCTON, November 8, 2025 In a rapidly changing and uncertain world, Canada's new government is focused on what we can control. We are protecting our communities and our country. We are building our economy with major projects and millions more homes. We are empowering Canadians with lower costs and new opportunities to help you get ahead. We cannot control what other countries do, but we can control what we choose to build, and we are building Canada Strong. Culture is a powerful driver of innovation and inclusion, strengthening both our economy and our identity. In the face of global challenges, culture brings Canadians together, nurturing national pride and preserving the vitality of our communities. Today, David Myles, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture and Minister responsible for Official Languages and to the Secretary of State (Nature) and Member of Parliament (Fredericton–Oromocto), announced $277,200 in support for the Réseau atlantique de diffusion des arts de la scène (RADARTS) through the Canada Arts Presentation Fund. This investment will allow the organization to fund the programming of FrancoFête en Acadie for the period from 2026 to 2029. FrancoFête en Acadie, currently underway until November 9, is the flagship event of RADARTS. This annual French-language event, which is holding its 29th edition in 2025, takes place over five days and brings together around 500 Francophone cultural stakeholder. To highlight the investments in culture in Budget 2025, Parliamentary Secretary Myles took part in activities at FrancoFête en Acadie and met with various members of the arts and culture sector in southeast New Brunswick. He visited the Pays de la Sagounine in Bouctouche, the new modern and accessible outdoor amphitheatre for the performing arts at Highland Park in Salisbury, and the Atlantic Ballet of Canada in Moncton. This week, the Honourable Steven Guilbeault, Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture and Minister responsible for Official Languages, announced Budget 2025 investments in culture totalling $503 million over four years, starting in 2026-27, in sectors such as the arts, multimedia, journalism, and national celebrations. He made the announcement on behalf of the Honourable François-Philippe Champagne, Minister of Finance and National Revenue. Canada's artists, creators and cultural entrepreneurs are at the heart of our creative economy. Budget 2025 proposes new investments to grow Canada's creative industries and ensure our national cultural institutions remain strong, resilient and successful. This includes support for Telefilm Canada, the Canada Media Fund, the National Film Board, and the Canada Council for the Arts. Budget 2025 also proposes funding to help Canadian talent succeed in an increasingly digital and global marketplace, including through the Canada Music Fund.  Culture is experienced locally, in our towns, neighbourhoods, and public spaces. Budget 2025 proposes targeted support to strengthen community identity and participation through experiences and celebrations in every region of Canada. This includes support for local festivals, community anniversaries and community-initiated capital projects through the Building Communities through Arts and Heritage program, and for professionally presented arts festivals or performing arts series through the Canada Arts Presentation Fund. Budget 2025 also proposes funding for communities to celebrate Canada Day and National Acadian Day. In addition, Budget 2025 proposes to provide $150 million in funding to support the modernization of CBC/Radio-Canada's mandate and strengthen its mandate and better deliver for Canadians in both French and English. Additionally, Budget 2025 also proposes to provide $116.3 million to renew the Canada Strong Pass for the holiday season, from December 12, 2025, to January 15, 2026, and for summer 2026. This will provide families and young people free or discounted access to national parks, museums, galleries, and rail travel. Together, those investments are key to protecting Canada's cultural sovereignty, strengthening our economy, and building Canada strong. Quotes When we invest in our culture, we invest in ourselves, and in our capacity to tell our own stories. Across the country, our artists, creators and creative industries fuel innovation, create jobs, and strengthen our economy. In a time of uncertainty, we must protect our cultural sovereignty and help Canadian talent thrive at home and around the world. Budget 2025 meets the moment, positioning Canada's creative economy for growth, competitiveness and stability.” —The Honourable Steven Guilbeault, Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture and Minister responsible for Official Languages “At a time with a shifting global economy and rapid technological change, the Government of Canada is committed to supporting cultural workers and strengthening our arts and culture sectors. These measures reflect a clear vision of a strong, united and resilient Canada, where our way of life is protected, celebrated and passed on to future generations.” —The Honourable François-Philippe Champagne, Minister of Finance and National Revenue “Through the new Budget, our government continues to support initiatives that promote the Francophonie across the country and especially here in Atlantic Canada. The funding provided to RADARTS will allow an even greater number of artists and local presenters to work together and offer quality cultural experiences. This is how we're helping build Canada Strong, where the arts play an essential role in the life of our communities.” —David Myles, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture and Minister responsible for Official Languages and to the Secretary of State (Nature) and Member of Parliament (Fredericton–Oromocto) “We welcome the renewal of additional funds for the Canada Arts Presentation Fund and the Building Communities Through Arts and Heritage program in the recent federal budget. This renewal for the next three years will allow presenters in Atlantic Canada to better plan their events and their upcoming artistic seasons. We are grateful for the Department's commitment to providing support for the entire performing arts sector.” —Jacinthe Comeau, Executive Director, RADARTSBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/policy-and-rights--3339563/support.

Canadian Politics, US Trade Relations, and Energy Pipeline Development. Conrad Black discusses a domestic Canadian political misunderstanding involving Prime Minister Mark Carney and Premier Doug Ford over an anti-tariff ad that annoyed President Trump. The focus shifts to Canadian energy policy, noting the need for new pipelines to move oil from Alberta east, west, and south. Carney's government has tentatively agreed to approve a second pipeline to northern British Columbia, which would more than double the daily oil shipment capacity to the west.

How did this young and inexperienced politician build such a broad coalition? What is the message we should take away from his big win? Janice argues that this race is not the only one that matters; Democratic wins in Virginia and New Jersey with more moderate candidates offer an important lesson that in order to win you need a big tent with a wide variety of voices. What role did technology play in these elections, and should we be worried about how it is affecting the democratic process? Rudyard and Janice then turn to the US government shutdown which is being weaponized by both parties. Unfortunately neither side will negotiate without concessions and the public is being held hostage. In the remaining moments Rudyard and Janice offer their analysis of Mark Carney's first federal budget as Prime Minister. Both agree that the budget did not live up to expectations; the government needed to make some big cuts and ask Canadians to sacrifice to get our economy back on track. As Janice puts it, the biggest problem we have in this country is we think being nice is the most important value. It's not.

Steve Paikin and John Michael McGrath take a look at Ontario's fall economic statement, which paints a picture of the province's financial health. Mark Carney has tabled his first budget as prime minister. Some have called it unprecedented, others say it lacks ambition. Steve and John Michael pick apart the federal government's document and break down its chances of actually passing. Quebec is picking a fight with its doctors, and Doug Ford is trying to poach physicians looking to leave the province. Steve and JMM discuss the strong reaction to Ford's appeal from Quebecers who think he should keep those thoughts to himself.

In this episode of The Line Podcast, recorded on November 7, 2025, Matt Gurney and Jen Gerson react to a remarkably busy week in Canadian politics.This episode of The Line Podcast is brought to you by Forestry For The Future. Canada's housing crisis demands bold, scalable solutions. Build Canada Homes is an opportunity to leverage Canadian wood in modern construction. Wood-based methods like mass timber and modular construction can significantly reduce build times, waste, and carbon emissions, while supporting local economies. Expanding building codes, streamlining approvals, and prioritizing domestic wood in federal projects could double demand and foster job creation in rural and northern communities.Despite trade challenges and market volatility, a partnership between industry and government is vital to stabilize the sector, enhance competitiveness, and deliver innovative, sustainably sourced Canadian wood products for homes across Canada and abroad. With capacity growing across provinces, stable demand and predictable financing are key to unlocking the sector's potential.We need to Build Canada Homes with Canadian wood. To learn more, visit ForestryForTheFuture.ca.They start with the Mark Carney government. Matt's self-imposed six-month grace period for judging the new prime minister has expired, and he's ready to weigh in: better than Trudeau, but not good enough for the moment. Jen is slightly more patient but, somehow, even sharper in her take — especially when it comes to Carney's recent apology to Donald Trump, which she finds baffling and unnecessary. And enraging.This episode is also brought to you by CPA Ontario. There's a saying: “Keep it simple,” and what's true for life is true for taxes. And while this week's historic federal budget introduced some much-needed tax measures to help spur investment and innovation, there is still more work to be done to make Canada's tax system less complex, and more competitive.  Just ask a CPA. In a recent survey, 84 per cent of Ontario CPAs said Canada's tax system is overly complex. They know how complexity drains resources from productive activity, and how high tax rates discourage investment and entrepreneurship, the very things Canada needs. Consider the numbers: real GDP per capita has barely grown in seven years and investment per worker in Canada is less than half that of the U.S.Complexity has a cost, and Canadians are paying it. Our sponsor, CPA Ontario, the regulator of over 105,000 Chartered Professional Accountants, has released a report putting forward 20 bold, practical recommendations to reform Canada's tax system, and simplify the Income Tax Act. The 2025 Budget was a step forward — but more reform is needed to grow the economy, create jobs, and raise living standards.Learn more at cpaontario.ca/taxreformThen attention turns to the Conservatives, where Pierre Poilievre's week has gone from bad to worse. Two MPs have walked away, and the question now is whether this is an isolated hiccup or the start of a real leadership problem. Matt and Jen point out that without the wind of inevitable victory at his back, Poilievre will need to rely on charm and political skill — qualities not generally considered his strong suit.The episode wraps with a wide-ranging discussion on what “woke” and “feminism” actually mean in 2025, and how those words have evolved. Jen is workshopping a new column on the topic, and Matt is clearly looking forward to reading it. All that and more in the latest episode of The Line Podcast.

Send us a textThe Carney government tabled its first-ever budget this week — and like the recent federal election, the spectre of Donald Trump looms large over the entire thing.Although the U.S. President's name doesn't actually appear anywhere in the 493-page document, the budget lays out the Liberal government's detailed plan to defend Canada from America's ramped-up trade aggressions.The key figure is $78.3 billion — the total projected deficit for 2025-2026 — with targeted spending on defence, infrastructure and attracting investment to Canada. The budget also includes major cuts to the country's civil service.Joining us on tonight's Closer Look to break down all the specifics are three Village Media journalists who were on Parliament Hill for the budget's release: Jessica Smith Cross, editor-in-chief of The Trillium, and Katherine DeClerq and Palak Mangat of Parliament Today.Hosted by Village Media's Michael Friscolanti and Scott Sexsmith, and produced by Derek Turner, Closer Look is a new daily podcast that goes way beyond the headlines with insightful, in-depth conversations featuring our reporters and editors, leading experts, key stakeholders and big newsmakers.Fresh episodes drop every Monday to Friday at 7 p.m. right in your local news feed — and on the show's dedicated website: closerlookpodcast.ca.

Mark Carney drops his first budget and we're split: Cheryl gives it a 7/10 for a disciplined comms rollout and “build-through-the-downturn” strategy; Erika fires back with a 4/10 over record debt, fuzzy capital/operating splits, and weak relief for real people. We unpack what the naysayers actually mean, why “we're building houses” lands better than tax tinkering, and how this budget boxes in both the CPC and NDP on cuts, immigration, and social programs. Then: the Ottawa plot twist—Chris Dontermont crosses the floor as rumours swirl of more MPs ahead of Polievre's leadership review. Plus a brutal week in Alberta: an education bill dropped while the Premier's abroad, and the Auditor General won't be renewed mid-AHS probe. We argue over Bill 6's literacy testing, the optics of the AG timing, and why the first stab at boundary redistribution has both of us grinding our teeth.

To listen to the full episode consider becoming a donor to the Munk Debates for as little as $25 annually, or $.50 per episode. Canadian donors receive a charitable tax receipt. After weeks of hype Mark Carney's government presented a disappointing traditional Liberal big spending budget. While there are incremental measures to promote economic growth, they are not in the order of what this country needs, and in a few years we are going to be borrowing money just to pay the interest on our debt. Andrew offers a charitable take: we are in an immediate crisis, and Mark Carney decided to implement an interventionist budget in the short term to ride out the Trump craziness. Regardless, this was a missed opportunity to introduce radical tax and competition reform that is badly needed to jumpstart our economy. In the second half of the show Rudyard and Andrew assess the political fallout from the budget, specifically a Conservative MP crossing the floor to the Liberals and rumours that others are set to follow suit. Could Mark Carney soon have a majority government? And why are MPs not talking to their constituents before crossing party lines?

The Liberals brag that their brand-new budget is big and bold. Opposition leaders have have some less-positive adjectives to describe it. And now a Conservative MP has left caucus over it.

New Liberal budget changes the political math in the House of Commons, as Conservative MP Chris D'Entremont crosses the floor. Mark Carney's government signals it intends to to scrap the oil and gas emissions cap. Growing calls for EU nations to increase air defences after drone sightings force Belgium's business airport to close. US Supreme Court to hear arguments on the legality of US President Donald Trump's unilateral tariffs. Big wins for Democrats in votes across several states. Democrat Zohran Mamdani elected new mayor of New York. ICYMI: Prime Minister Mark Carney's government wants Canada to participate in the Eurovision song contest.

In his first federal budget as Prime Minister, Mark Carney has his eyes on changing the country for generations to come, rather than making moves to satisfy the here and now.Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne tabled the 2025 budget on Tuesday, which included a $78.3B deficit, among cuts and investments to strengthen an independent economy with a focus on businesses and capital investments., rather than slashing the deficit.Time will tell, though, if Carney's 406-page plan will get the support of the opposition parties, or fall short of approval resulting in a federal election.Host Mike Eppel speaks to Ian Lee, associate professor at the Sprott School of Business at Carleton University, to break down the 2025 federal budget: what it means for everyday Canadians, what it means for our relationship with the U.S., and what it means for the future of Canada.

In this episode, Sandy and Nora talk about the 2025 Liberal budget -- Mark Carney's first -- and how he blurs the line between Liberals and Tories like never before.CORRECTION: One of our eagle-eyed listeners realized a figure I (Sandy) mention in this episode several times was misunderstood. In referencing a somewhat unclear infographic appearing on page 25 of the budget, I said that $5M was being allocated to dental care and several other figures. In fact, that infographic is meant to refer to the number of Canadians that use the dental care plan and services. There are no new dollars being allocated to the program. Apologies for the error! We were really working fast to try to understand what we could and get a relevant episode out asap. Thanks for always being such a great audience and stepping in to help when we need it. As our project slowly grows, we hope to eventually have a team that can make sure this kind of error doesn't happen. But the analysis remains the same. Much love! Hosted on Acast.

Canada's Liberal government unveiled new federal budget plans in the House of Commons in Ottawa on Tuesday, which include a massive spending spree of 280 billion Canadian dollars (€173 billion). The spending is seen as a way to strengthen the Canadian economy after the imposition of steep tariffs by the United States, Canada's most important trading partner. Also in this edition: iconic French glassware cooperative Duralex raises €19 million in a day, just over a year after employees bought back the firm.

Mark Carney's first federal budget is out, and it's a bold statement from a Prime Minister trying to prove he's not just the banker-in-chief, but a nation-builder with a plan.

Mark Carney's Liberals pledged "generational investments" in the budget they unveiled Tuesday as Canada navigates a tariff-hit economic crisis, with $141 billion in new spending offset by about $51 billion in cuts and other savings. It includes a commitment of $13 billion towards housing and new builds over five years. Alina McKay, research manager at UBC Housing Collaborative, and Jill Atkey, CEO of the B.C. Non-Profit Housing Association, join the show to discuss what needs to be prioritized in the housing crisis. The budget also pledges $51 billion towards the Build Communities Strong Fund over the next decade. The Filipino community in B.C. has been working to build a community centre for years. B.C. NDP MLA Mable Elmore joins the show to discuss how government funding can play into the community's goals.

Elias Makos welcomes back Dan Delmar, Co-founder of the content marketing firm TNKR Media and co-host of the podcast Inspiring Entrepreneurs Canada, and Anne Lagace-Dowson, political analyst. It was hyped as a “generational budget,” but did it live up to that hype? Prime Minister Mark Carney tabled his first ever budget yesterday. The budget cuts the luxury tax on yachts and private jets and boosts funding to the CBC while giving them a super-specific new goal: bringing Canada into the Eurovision contest. Is this what Canadians were asking for? The federal liberals are now one step closer to a majority while the federal Conservative are screaming treason towards a former party MP that has crossed the floor. The city of New York has a new mayor. NFL football legend Tom Brady says his new dog Junie is a clone. Would you you do the same?

Mark Carney's Liberal government tabled what it called its ‘generational' budget on Tuesday, promising a mix of spending and cuts and booking a big budget deficit. So far, the Conservatives and Bloc Québécois look set to vote it down. The New Democrats are on the fence.But the drama of budget day was punctuated by the defection of Nova Scotia MP Chris d'Entremont from the Conservatives to the Liberals. He might not be the only one to cross the floor as rumours fly. What does it mean for the fate of the government, Pierre Poilievre's leadership and the potential for a snap election?We had good reason to delay this week's episode of The Numbers until after the budget so we could break down all the latest drama — because there's quite a bit of it! We also discuss the state of the NDP leadership race and some new provincial polling out of Ontario, British Columbia and Alberta, as well as the results of the mayoral elections in Quebec and the territorial vote in Yukon.CORRECTION: In Philippe's Number of the Week, he said 85% when he meant 75%.Looking for even more of The Numbers?

Mark Carney's government -- now has a blueprint. An economic plan -- focused on capital upgrades to infrastructure, industry, housing and defence. It includes a 78-billion dollar deficit. And a political price -- still being calculated. Canada is back on the list of approved countries for Chinese group tourism. Beijing banned group tourism to many places during the pandemic. It has been slow to open up to some – including Canada. The change comes less than a week after Prime Minister Mark Carney met President Xi Jinping, and the two pledged to tackle “irritants” in the countries' relationship. Also: It looks like a human – sings like one – and has garnered enough radio play to make a Billboard chart. But this is AI. We'll look at the success of Xania Monet, and what it means for the future of music. Plus: The death of one of the most consequential vice presidents in U.S. history - Dick Cheney, voters reflect one year after Trump's win, and more.

This is a big week in politics: Mark Carney's first federal budget. To catch you up on what you missed from the government's big unveiling, The House brings you this special bonus episode from today's live CBC Radio broadcast.

It's budget day in Canada, and the new Liberal government is pledging a "big, bold" budget that contains "generational investments" to pivot away from Canada's reliance on the U.S. If the budget fails to pass, it could trigger another general election. Prime Minister Mark Carney has hinted at making sacrifices to transform the Canadian economy. Alex Hemmingway, B.C. Society for Policy Solutions senior economist, joins the show as we ask viewers about what could be sacrificed and if it is justified.

In this conversation with Blacklock's Reporter managing editor Tom Korski, Alex Pierson digs into the growing list of ethical and governance crises facing Ottawa. Korski breaks down the Commons vote ordering hearings into Prime Minister Mark Carney's extensive stock holdings — a portfolio spanning hundreds of companies, including Brookfield's Westinghouse subsidiary, which has received federal funding. The discussion questions whether Canada's top office can truly separate public duty from private interest. They then turn to a surge in federal whistleblower complaints, as the Integrity Commissioner warns Parliament that her office is overwhelmed with serious allegations of corruption, nepotism, and misuse of funds — calling it evidence of a “petty, and sometimes not-so-petty” corruption problem in Ottawa. Finally, the pair debate the proposed federal ban on public displays of the swastika, which the Canadian Civil Liberties Association calls government overreach. Korski argues that while consistency matters, Ottawa's selective outrage reveals deep contradictions in how Charter rights are defended. Learn more about your ad choices.

The Canadians are angry, and the professional political class in Canada is doing everything they can to continue ramping up opposition to Donald Trump. With increased tariffs against Canada, and with the likely dissolution of the USMCA (CUSMA) coming in the near future, the Canadian govt of Mark Carney has been traveling the world to find alternative markets for their goods and services. The main targets for new Canadian economic and trade relations are the U.K, EU and China. In a deal to expand the trade relationship with China, the Canadian government of Mark Carney is now proposing to drop tariffs against Chinese EVs in a deal to sell more pork and canola oil. That's correct, in essence Canada will take the EV auto business abandoned by Mexico. This was Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's grand plan as he attended the ASEAN summit in Malaysia. Keep in mind, as we have outlined all along during Trump's trade reset, the USMCA is going to be abandoned in favor of two bilateral free trade agreements; one with Mexico and one with Canada. As outlined in the Mexican decision to cancel EV investment, Mexico is aligning for a favorable trade relationship with President Trump and the USA. Canada may benefit in the short term from sales of pork and canola to Beijing, while simultaneously gaining Chinese investment in cobalt mining and auto development for EVs. But those EVs will never be permitted to cross the border into the USA and any effort to enhance Chinese EV sales in Canada will only disconnect them more from trade with Donald Trump and the USA.
