Keir Starmer with help from the royals sucked up to Donald Trump this week in a big way. Does that work? Is there something for Canada to learn? Plus, you never want to lose a senior cabinet minister, unless. Unless you think you are better off without that person. What is the case with Chrystia Freeland? And, Jimmy Kimmel. There's a lot in today's Good Talk with Chantal Hebert, and sitting in for Bruce Anderson this week, former Harper Communications Director, Andrew MacDougall, in London.

In this week's episode of The Line Podcast, recorded on Sept. 19, 2025, Matt Gurney and Jen Gerson open with Canadian federal politics. Mark Carney is clearly cleaning house. We talk about why Chrystia Freeland may actually be entering her best years as a political force, share a laugh about our backstory with Canada's new ambassador to the UN, and ask whether Carney will use by-elections or the Senate to get his people in. This episode of The Line Podcast is brought to you by Universities Canada. Across Canada, university campuses are more than classrooms – they're community hubs. From gyms and pools, to theatres, health clinics and labs, campus spaces welcome everyone. Whether it's a hockey tournament, daycare, or a summer camp, investing in campuses means investing in the communities we share. But years of underfunding have left a $17 billion maintenance backlog, with one in three campus infrastructure projects now critical or near-critical. Campus infrastructure is community infrastructure. To keep building communities, the federal government must make campus infrastructure eligible in federal programs. To learn more, visit UnivCan.ca.They then turn south, where the fallout of the Charlie Kirk assassination lingers. Jen has some tough words for people you'd normally think of as her allies, and Matt lays out the conditions under which he'll take anyone's views on these matters seriously. They also touch on the Jimmy Kimmel situation.This episode of The Line Podcast is also brought to you by Forestry For The Future. Canadian forestry supports 200,000 workers, generates $87 billion in annual revenue, contributes $21 billion annually to our nation's economy, and provides the products we need to build homes and drive economic growth. While trade barriers from the U.S. are siphoning jobs and investment away, Canada's own approval processes and regulations are preventing critical projects that both prevent wildfires and boost our economic self-reliance.We can and should have programs that expand domestic wood use, advance biomass use and pulp market opportunities, and cut red tape and regulatory barriers. The government of Canada has a clear opportunity to stand up for Canadian forestry at a time of growing global uncertainty. We need real action that puts Canadians first — supporting employees and their families, securing stability for our businesses, and protecting the long-term potential of our sector and its people. To learn more, visit ForestryForTheFuture.ca.Finally, Matt turns the tables and asks Jen about her recent trips to other spiritual realms. If you've read her piece on her visit to the Monroe Institute, this segment will make sense — and if you enjoyed that article, you'll get some extra value from hearing her describe it in her own words.This episode is also brought to you by the Daily Bread Food Bank. Working-age Canadians with disabilities experience poverty and food insecurity at twice the rate of the general population. The Canada Disability Benefit was designed to address this, but at $6.67 a day, it fails to cover essentials like food, housing, and medication. Daily Bread Food Bank and coalition partners urge the federal government to fully fund the benefit to lift those it was meant to serve out of poverty.

Ep 559 - Food Insecurity in Canada Guest: Sylvain Charlebois By Stuart McNish “Canadians are spending less on food today than they did last year,” says Dr. Sylvain Charlebois, one of the authors of the Canadian Food Sentiment Index. “Close to 50% of respondents to our survey report they are paying significantly more for food, leading to widespread concern about food inflation and security.” The increases have led to changes in the way people are buying food; they're paying more attention to how it's grown and where it comes from. Charlebois says, “It adds up to consumers becoming more frugal because they've reached their limit. Household budgets are strained and food is something they can look to cut back on or find less expensive options.” Prime minister Mark Carney has made a commitment to investing in food production, processing, and innovation. According to Charlebois, “The most important thing he can do in the immediate future is to remove the carbon tax on agricultural products and production. If he doesn't, food prices are going to continue to rise.” We invited Dr. Sylvain Charlebois to join us for a Conversation That Matters about the complex world of food production, security, and affordability.

Ep 555 - Decluttering Regulations in Canada Guest: Krystal Wittevrongel By Stuart McNish Vowing to get Canada moving again is one of prime minister Mark Carney's promises – a promise he reiterated while introducing his new cabinet. As the economy has taken a jolt from the shifting relationship with the United States, politicians across the country have turned their attention to improving the regulatory environment. Krystal Wittevrongel of the Montreal Economic Institute points out that “reducing regulation was stated as a priority in 2018. Unfortunately, that government failed to make it a priority and businesses have suffered as a result.” Recognition of the negative impact is only the first step, says Wittevrongel. “It's much less clear how and when the government will actually address the complex issues that are clogging trade in Canada.” We invited Krystal Wittevrongel to join us for a Conversation That Matters about unclogging the gears of regulation that have bogged down trade in Canada.

Parliament is back. And so is House Party. As Prime Minister Mark Carney faces off against newly re-elected Opposition Leader Pierre Poilievre while grappling with the trade war, the rising cost of living, the housing crisis, the climate crisis, a budget that ain't gonna be pretty, two overseas wars, a possible national unity crisis or two… need we go on? Sure, because co-hosts and political nerds Catherine Cullen, Daniel Thibeault and Jason Markusoff have got the party started and are here to talk about how Mark Carney is handling it all.
Aujourd'hui dans le podcast, on revient sur la rentrée parlementaire à Ottawa. Pour la première fois depuis l'élection, le chef conservateur Pierre Poilievre a débattu directement avec Mark Carney. On apprend aussi que l'ancienne vice-première ministre Chrystia Freeland quitte le cabinet de Carney pour redevenir simple députée, alors que le directeur parlementaire du budget, Jason Jacques, prédit une réalité économique sombre à l'approche du prochain budget.DANS LA PARTIE PATREON, on écoute et commente deux extraits de Radio-Canada : d'abord une journaliste qui a tenu des propos antisémites et conspirationnistes envers les juifs dans l'émission de l'après-midi, puis la chronique de Catherine Ethier sur la mort de Charlie Kirk au micro de Patrick Masbourian. Ensuite, Joey nous fait entendre un passage d'Éric Duhaime à Radio Pirate racontant sa rencontre avec un boomer.

This week on On the Line, Matt is joined by two familiar voices. First up, P.J. Fournier from 338Canada.com and 338Canada.ca drops in with a quick update. He's been tracking the polls as Parliament gets back to work, and his verdict is that not much has shifted since the election. Still, he lays out the opportunities and headaches facing Mark Carney and the Liberals, Pierre Poilievre and the Conservatives, and what's left of the NDP as it tries to figure out what exactly it wants to be ... and what leader will help get them there.This episode of On The Line is brought to you by Universities Canada.

You'll remember him from our anti-panel during the campaign, and this time he sticks around for a longer chat about what's happening inside Liberal circles. Why is the caucus already grumbling? What's keeping Mark Carney awake at night? And why does poor Michael Sabia seem to have been left with a to-do list that might as well include stopping a Russian offensive in eastern Europe all by himself?We're (mostly) joking about that last part, but it's fair to say it's been a strange few weeks, hasn't it?This episode is also brought to you by the Daily Bread Food Bank.

With the return of Parliament, we found out how the Prime Minister and the Leader of the Opposition handle each other -- and now we'll ask the House Leader how the government plans to handle Canadians' money. The exchanges between MPs today revolved around familiar themes on familiar issues; the CBC's Catherine Cullen tells us what's different this time around. Get this party re-started. The NDP returned to the House of Commons with a mere seven seats; we'll hear how that baker's half-dozen plans to avoid getting sidelined. Trump administration cuts shut down a consortium of doctors who specialize in childhood brain tumours -- which, in turn, means young cancer patients will be shut out of clinical trials in Canada. It's a marathon, not a sprint. But then it's a sprint. At the World Athletics Championships, the men's marathon ends with a top-speed race to the photo-finish -- a staggering achievement when most of us would have been staggering.

With quantum computers threatening to compromise today's encryption in just a few years, businesses around the world are working to audit and remediate their exposure. Global bank Santander bank began its quantum computing audit program by first acknowledging a core problem: they didn't actually know what cryptography they were using across their systems. To address this, Santander Global Tech head of quantum tech Mark Carney told a recent SANS Institute conference, the bank launched a discovery exercise, mapping out cryptographic assets and aligning them with evolving standards. They partnered with Microsoft and GitHub to extend CodeQL, enabling static code analysis that could identify weak or outdated cryptography hidden in code, despite variations in naming and APIs. In parallel, they built dynamic monitoring tools using eBPF, which allowed them to tap into network traffic, extract cipher suites, handshake details, and key usage, and then aggregate the data. This revealed, for example, that about a quarter of traffic in their lab environment was already negotiating hybrid post quantum computing (PQC) connections.

In this episode of The Food Professor Podcast, hosts Michael LeBlanc and Dr. Sylvain Charlebois tackle the latest headlines shaping Canada's food and retail landscape before welcoming back a dynamic entrepreneur reshaping the seafood category.The conversation begins with a heated national debate: should Canada eliminate the Temporary Foreign Worker Program? Sylvain outlines the program's critical role in agriculture, agri-food processing, and restaurants, weighing the Conservative proposal to phase it out against industry concerns. He highlights the tension between labour shortages in rural communities and youth unemployment, noting how food service has become “addicted” to low-wage labour. Michael points to staggering statistics—40,000 people applied for seasonal jobs at the Canadian National Exhibition—illustrating the urgency of balancing wages, job availability, and immigration.From labour, the hosts turn to politics and trade. They unpack Quebec's cabinet shuffle and the departure of one of the province's longest-serving agriculture ministers, praising his role in championing Canada's Grocery Code of Conduct. Sylvain also reveals how Cody Blois, now Secretary of State to Agriculture in the Prime Minister's Office, may wield more influence over ag policy than the minister himself. There's cautious optimism with both China and India as Canada reopens diplomatic channels, while debates over canola's contribution to GDP spark discussion about food security, branding, and farmer uncertainty.The news segment also dives into consumer behaviour trends: Tim Hortons' launch of a protein-fortified latte (with Starbucks poised to follow), the surging popularity of food delivery apps despite their impact on food literacy and household budgets, and the mixed fortunes of Canadian farmers—livestock producers are enjoying high returns, while grain and dairy producers face challenges. Finally, Michael and Sylvain discuss Cracker Barrel's failed brand refresh, underlining the importance of innovation that resonates with consumers.The second half features a spirited interview with Charlotte Langley, Founder of Nice Cans and CEO of Langley Foods. A chef, ocean steward, and veteran food entrepreneur, Charlotte shares how her cheekily named canned seafood brand is making sustainability delicious. She explains how pushing for MSC certification in Portugal helped transform the entire sardine fishery, elevating sustainability standards across 21 operations. Charlotte also details her collaborations—like a World Oceans Day partnership with Cheekbone Beauty—and the creative process behind launching new products that are both innovative and scalable.Special listener discount: Use code DELISHFISH for 20% off

Prime Minister Mark Carney spends his last days before heading back to Parliament talking about "nation-building" projects with his caucus -- and with Alberta Premier Danielle Smith. Ugandan rebel leader Joseph Kony isn't at the International Criminal Court to hear evidence of his war crimes. Our guest was born into his militia -- and says there's no justice until he's made to face his crimes. Hong Kong lawmakers reject limited rights for some same-sex couples. An advocate tells us he's disappointed -- but still certain progress will be made...eventually.A pastor in Rochester, New York explains how her community sent ICE agents packing, when they tried to arrest a group of roofers working on a house. The creatures who live near the ocean floor aren't typically known for being cute -- but a new species of bumpy snailfish is the sweetest thing in salt water. Remembering the Japanese racehorse Haru Urara, who became a national inspiration because of her remarkable consistency on the track -- where she lost 113 consecutive races. As It Happens, the Wednesday Edition. Radio that knows some heroes are larger-than-life -- and some are mare mortals.

On today's episode of the Candice Malcolm Show, guest host Kris Sims is joined by national radio host Ben Mulroney. Mulroney doesn't hold back — saying he has “never seen this level of crime in Canada” and warning that Canadians no longer feel safe in their own homes. They dig into the failures of Canada's justice system, from repeat offenders to weak sentencing, and why provinces like Ontario desperately need more jail space. Mulroney explains why he supports exploring Pierre Poilievre's self-defence law proposal, which he says would force criminals to rethink the risks of breaking into Canadians' homes. The conversation also touches on the decline of court reporting in mainstream media, and whether independent outlets should revive “court watch” coverage to hold judges and politicians accountable. Finally, Kris and Ben turn to Parliament's return and the Carney government's political balancing act. Mulroney weighs in on affordability, Liberal divisions over climate policy, and why he believes “without Mark Carney, the Liberals would be in third place.” Learn more about your ad choices.

Mark Carney recently made noises about the future possibility of Canadian boots on the ground as part of an international “coalition of the willing” to help guarantee security in Ukraine. In the 1990s Canada had up to 3,000 peacekeepers around the world at any given time. Today we have less than 30. That's one per cent of what we used to be able to do.So how would Carney get us back in the game? Is it a game we want to play? Or are even capable of playing anymore?Lloyd Axworthy thinks so. He was Minister of Foreign Affairs at the height of our peacekeeping commitments in the late 1990s. But his vision today goes far beyond blue helmets.Credits:Host: Jesse BrownCaleb Thompson (Post Production), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), max collins (Director of Audio), Jesse Brown (Editor and Publisher)Fact checking by Julian AbrahamAdditional music by Audio NetworkSponsors: oxio: Head over to canadaland.oxio.ca and use code CANADALAND for your first month free!

In this episode of The John Oakley Show, we dive into the buzzworthy hot-mic conversation between Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping about extending human life to 150 years—and even achieving immortality. John speaks with Dr. Olshansky, professor of epidemiology and biostatistics at the University of Illinois, to separate science from science fiction. They explore the ethics, realities, and myths of radical life extension, the role of organ transplants, and what longer lifespans would mean for society, retirement, and health care. Later in the show, John turns to economics with risk management consultant John Turley-Ewart. They discuss Mark Carney's new measures to cushion Canadians against Donald Trump's tariffs, the suspension of EV mandates, and whether upcoming budget changes will be enough to restore investor confidence and address rising unemployment.

Former Montreal Canadiens great Ken Dryden passes away at the age of 78. Mark Carney's government is firming up Ottawa's 'Buy Canadian' purchasing policy with billions of dollars in new funding. The Israeli military says it is establishing a humanitarian zone in southern Gaza near Khan Younis and it is telling everyone in the area to leave. With more Canadian consumers looking for 'made-in-Canada' products, one family farm in Quebec turning up the heat in their greenhouse to grow more ginger. In Australia, the search continues for a gunman wanted in the shooting deaths of two police officers. Giorgio Armani's body lying in state in Milan.
The Prime Minister pauses a plan that would have forced automakers to hit minimum sales levels for electric vehicles. An insider says that's great for the industry -- despite being bad for the environment. After yesterday's deadly knife attack, Manitoba MLA and Hollow Water First Nation band member Ian Bushie tells us how his community is bearing up against the unbearable. A bipartisan group of politicians calls for change, after Florida's wildlife agency allowed a giant manta ray to be yanked out of its habitat and sent to a marine park on the other side of the world.A newly discovered portrait of the enigmatic Earl of Southampton has a heart on the back that's been covered over with a black spear -- suggesting a certain playwright might have been played wrong.

This week's SCO summit in China projected a series of powerful images about the rise of China and the cleaving of the world into two power blocs. Putin, Xi, and Kim Jong Un watching the military parade at Tiananmen Square was a performance of a great power, as was Narendra Modi's public display of friendship with Xi and Putin. Donald Trump's treatment of US allies is turning away in-between countries and offering China a historic opportunity to step up to the plate. The world of the US is becoming a minority compared to the countries circling China's orbit. In the second half of the show Rudyard and Janice turn to Canada's upcoming federal budget and Mark Carney's bad messaging, as the PM warned of austerity followed by investment. In an economy that is slowing, will Carney wrack up more debt? Will these be investments, or expenditures? And does our Prime Minister have a real plan to get Canada back to a fiscal balance?
Recent polls suggest Canadians are now more concerned about basic economic issues than they are about the Carney-Trump talks. Housing, affordability, inflation and government spending top the list. All this in the run up to an expected October budget, but also at a time when hugely expensive "nation building projects" are on the table. How do you square cuts and spending is up for discussion with Chantal Hebert and Bruce Anderson.

The first Moore Butts conversation of the new season is the 22nd in our series of going behind the doors of political intrigue. In this case, the discussion centres around the negotiations that have to take place if anyone is going to make a trade deal with the US President. Gerald Butts is Justin Trudeau's former principal secretary who was in the room when Canada and Trump hammered out a new trade deal in 2018. James Moore is a former Harper-era cabinet minister, and as always, has thoughts on this subject too.
