In this season of Lent we are giving up doomscrolling. But do we have Sunday off? We may have uncovered a local Catholic schism that is changing the way Ann views Lent. Watch the podcast to find out the truth and please use the comments to let us know what you are giving up for Lent and whether it includes Sunday. And Tucker needs to find himself another sucker. We bring you the truth about his misleading interview with US Ambassador Mike Huckabee. And the truth about Israeli security harassing him and his Producer. It's just a normal part of travel to Israel and not harassment. Watch the show to hear how we turned the tables (in a good way) on a ferocious Israeli airport security officer. It turned sweet in the end. You can also read about it in our latest substack (linked below).And as we always suspected - the idea that California is in permanent drought and needs expensive regulations to fix it - is complete nonsense. And this week we speak to the researcher who has uncovered the scandal. It's a huge story.And we're starting a new recurring segment called “the most ridiculous headline”. Ann gets the ball rolling with a hilarious but terrifyingly serious piece from the National Post. And please like and subscribe wherever you get our content. We can't read your mind but we can read your comments which we love. And we may even show some of them on the air!OCTOBER 7 the play was a huge success at the Trump Kennedy Center!

In the news cycle, an elderly woman attempting to poison her husband would have garnered a pretty small amount of attention from the press, then faded away when a larger story came along. But it didn't take long for the press to learn that the poisoning of Melissa Ann Shepard's new husband wasn't  the first time she had been suspected or convicted of attempted murder. In fact, Melissa Ann Shepard had a criminal history in two countries that went back decades, including many crimes that were very similar to the one she had just perpetrated only with a much worse outcome.

Once again, Prime Minister Mark Carney has convinced a Conservative to cross the floor and join his Liberal Party — the third MP to do so in just a few months. And it comes as Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre tries to manage the fallout from a caucus member's trip to Washington. The National Post's Stuart Thomson and the Globe and Mail's Shannon Proudfoot take a look at Poilievre's mounting challenges and how close the Liberals may be to a majority.Plus, the U.S Supreme Court ruled this week that Donald Trump exceeded his authority by imposing sweeping emergency tariffs on trading partners, but the president says he won't back down. Brian Clow, former deputy chief of staff to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, joins Catherine Cullen to discuss whether the ruling will help — or hurt — Canada.Next, the government announced its long-awaited defence industrial strategy this week, with ambitious goals to boost exports, create 125,000 jobs and award 70 per cent of defence contracts to Canadian companies. But will it mean Canadian troops get the equipment they need? The House visits a local Ottawa defence tech company for their take; CBC's senior defence writer Murray Brewster breaks down the government's plans; and Secretary of State for Defence Procurement Stephen Fuhr discusses the road ahead.And New Democrats are entering the final stretch of their federal leadership race as five contenders took the stage in B.C. Thursday for one last candidates' debate. Former NDP MPs Nathan Cullen and Matthew Green join The House to weigh in on their pitches, the tensions and the contrasting visions for a party hoping to build back after winning just seven seats in the last election.This episode features the voices of:Brian Clow, former deputy chief of staff to Prime Minister Justin TrudeauStuart Thomson, parliamentary bureau chief for the National PostShannon Proudfoot, feature writer for The Globe and MailMicah Grinstead, senior director of operations at CalianChris Pogue, president of defence and space at CalianMurray Brewster, CBC News' senior defence correspondentStephen Fuhr, secretary of state for defence procurementNathan Cullen, former NDP MPMatthew Green, former NDP MP

Marc Miller is a Mark Carney Liberal cabinet minister — and a holdover from Justin Trudeau's government. In fact, most of Carney's cabinet is. From Mélanie Joly to François-Philippe Champagne to Anita Anand, the same names keep reappearing. It's difficult to take seriously claims that this is a “new” government in any meaningful sense, or slogans like “Canada is back,” when the same people have been running the country for nearly a decade. More outrageous still is the Liberals' ongoing attempt to blame Stephen Harper for current failures — even though his government ended eleven years ago. That argument has long since passed from implausible into absurd. One of the worst holdovers is Marc Miller. It is surprising he remains in cabinet at all, given that his chief qualification appears to have been his personal friendship with Justin Trudeau — including serving as a member of Trudeau's wedding party. That relationship, rather than any demonstrated competence, explains his rise and longevity in power. Today, Miller holds the title of Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture — a disturbing mandate in itself. A minister in charge of defining “identity” should concern anyone who believes such things emerge organically from history, culture, and shared experience, not government decree. The irony is that the same Liberal Party once described Canada as a “post-national” country — more a hotel than a homeland. Miller previously served as Minister of Immigration, where he oversaw a period of reckless and historically unprecedented mass immigration that did profound damage to social trust, public services, and national cohesion. This is the same government that removed Sir John A. Macdonald from the ten-dollar bill, rewrote the national anthem, tore down statues, and casually accused Canada of committing genocide. It is difficult to take lectures on national identity seriously from officials who have spent years dismantling it. Against that backdrop, Miller recently testified before a parliamentary committee and was questioned by Conservative MP Rachael Thomas about “social cohesion.” The question was straightforward and reasonable. In other countries, “social cohesion” has become a euphemism for enforced silence: in China, obedience; in the United Kingdom, avoiding discussion of politically inconvenient crimes for fear of being labelled Islamophobic. What, exactly, does it mean in Canada? Miller's answer did little to clarify matters. He warned of “intense disinformation” and claimed social cohesion is weakened when “falsities are propagated through media sources both legitimate and illegitimate.” That raises an obvious question: who decides which media sources are “illegitimate”? Canadians were recently told, incorrectly and repeatedly, that a mass murderer was female — even described as “a female in a dress” in emergency alerts. This misinformation was amplified by police, politicians, and much of the mainstream media, including the CBC. The state broadcaster went so far as to emphasize pronouns and refer to the killer by first name, as though discussing a personal acquaintance. Was that disinformation? Or, in Marc Miller's framework, was it “social cohesion” — the deliberate suppression of uncomfortable facts in the name of public calm? More troubling still is Miller's assertion that a strong, dominant CBC is essential to Canadian democracy. He describes the broadcaster as independent, despite its consistent alignment with Liberal positions on everything from climate policy to Donald Trump to gender ideology. On no major cultural or political issue does the CBC meaningfully dissent from the governing party that funds it. This is the practical reality of government-subsidized media. As one Liberal MP bluntly told a National Post reporter on X: https://x.com/Taleeb/status/1832480006578028641 “Your paper wouldn't be in business were it not for the subsidies that the government that you hate put in place — the same subsidies your Trump-adjacent foreign hedge fund owners gladly take to pay your salary.” That is not independence. That is power reminding journalists who pays the bills. This authoritarian instinct is familiar. It echoes Justin Trudeau's own worldview — that there is a single, approved truth, known by the governing class, and that dissent is illegitimate. Trudeau has said as much openly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDfMybczw1k And more explicitly still: https://x.com/AreOhEssEyeEe/status/1758912476572189069 “They don't believe in science or progress and are very often misogynistic and racist… Do we tolerate these people?” Those words were not rhetorical. The Trudeau government arrested peaceful protesters, froze hundreds of bank accounts, and punished citizens for embarrassing the regime. With new censorship laws now advancing, there is every reason to believe the same logic will be extended further. Independent media coverage of the recent transgender mass murder will almost certainly be cited as justification for additional controls on speech and journalism.

How often should celebrities be giving their political takes?Plus - Would you live in Toronto even if you could afford it? GUEST: Tasha Kheiriddin - writer and commentator for the National Post, GZero Media, and Substack

Pierre Poilievre easily passed his leadership review Friday night at the Conservative Party convention in Calgary, winning about 87.4 % support from delegates in the vote to keep him as leader. To talk about the leadership review and other highlights of the convention Evan is speaking with Stephanie Taylor, National Post politics reporter.

There's growing speculation that Prime Minister Mark Carney could call a snap election. It follows recent government moves like major affordability announcements and his well-received speech at Davos. When asked Monday whether Canadians could be heading to the polls this spring, Carney sidestepped the question, saying , “What we're focused on is solutions for Canadians.” So — is an election on the horizon? National Post political columnist Tasha Kheiriddin joins us with her take.

Aujourd'hui dans le podcast, on analyse un sondage Léger coup de poing publié ce matin dans le National Post, qui place les libéraux de Mark Carney à 47 % des intentions de vote. La prédiction récente de Ian, selon laquelle des élections fédérales auraient lieu très prochainement, semble ainsi se concrétiser.DANS LA PARTIE PATREON, on commence en écoutant un segment d'un influenceur ayant réalisé un vox pop auprès de la population du Groenland afin de savoir si les gens sont inquiets — ou non — du potentiel achat de leur pays par les États-Unis de Donald Trump. Ensuite, on analyse deux autres sondages Léger : le premier, commandé par la Fédération canadienne des contribuables, montre qu'une majorité de Québécois est en faveur de coupures dans la bureaucratie du gouvernement du Québec; le second, commandé par RE/MAX, révèle qu'une majorité de Québécois préférerait vivre dans une maison en banlieue ou en milieu rural quant ville. On termine en écoutant un « short » de l'économiste français Charles Gave sur les fonds de retraite, puis en lisant les plus récentes chroniques de Josée Legault et d'Émilise Lessard-Therrien.TIMESTAMPS0:00 Intro7:18 Nouveau sondage Léger14:48 La recette pandémique revient20:21 Nos élections ne sont pas assez longues25:44 Un cadeau pour les péquistes29:02 À venir dans le Patreon

In this eye-opening episode with Nadine Artemis, author of Renegade Beauty and Holistic Dental Care, we challenge everything you thought you knew about the sun. She unpacks why sunlight has become so controversial, tracing the history of heliotherapy and the very real biological need humans have for natural light. Nadine dives into the surprising benefits of sun exposure even in the winter, how light entering the eyes affects our hormones, and what the melanoma research actually shows when you look beyond the headlines. The conversation takes a bold turn as she exposes the real issues with modern sunscreen, explores vitamin D–rich foods in cold climates, and explains the deep connection between sunlight, bone health, and strong teeth. We also discuss tanning beds, the melanotan peptide, melatonin as a form of internal sun protection, and what our skin was truly designed to do. Packed with practical daily sun and light guidance, this episode will completely reshape how you think about sunshine, skin health, and long-term vitality. Nadine Artemis, the author of Renegade Beauty and Holistic Dental Care, is the creator of Living Libations, a pure and luxurious line of organic oral care, botanical beauty care, and medicinal elixirs often called the “holy grail” of wholesome skincare. Artemis is an innovative aromacologist, and her healing formulations and her concept of renegade beauty encourage effortlessness, engaging with the elements, and inspires people to rethink conventional notions of wellness and beauty. She is a key speaker at health and wellness conferences and has received glowing reviews in the Hollywood Reporter, GOOP, Vogue, People, Elle, Yoga Journal, Natural Health, W Magazine, The New York Times, Forbes, Los Angeles Times, and National Post.SHOW NOTES:0:40 Welcome to the podcast!2:49 About Nadine Artemis3:23 Welcome her to the show!5:36 Why is the sun so polarizing?8:06 History and research on heliotherapy11:29 Biological need for sun's rays13:17 Benefits of the sun in the winter16:52 Sunglasses & light in your eyes17:11 Melanoma study18:59 The real problem with sunscreen21:45 Vitamin D foods in cold climates24:30 Bone health & teeth25:57 *ELLIE MD*27:46 Tanning & Melanotan32:39 Melatonin as sun protection38:41 Protecting your face44:12 What our skin is designed for46:42 Daily sun & light advice53:45 Her final piece of advice54:40 Living Libations55:54 Thanks for tuning in!RESOURCES:ELLIE MD PeptidesFollow Nadine:Website: https://livinglibations.comIG: @nadineartemisofficial / @livinglibationsofficial Facebook: @LivingLibations @nadineartemisofficial Twitter/X / @LivingLibationsBook: Myth on MythSperti Vitamin D Lamp - 10% off with code: BIOHACKERBABESDMinder AppSunHugg - 10% off with code: BIOHACKERBABESBiolongevity Labs (Melanotan Peptide) - Discount code: BIOHACKERBABESSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/biohacker-babes-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

Parliament is back in session today amid growing U.S.–Canada tensions. Over the weekend, former President Trump threatened 100% tariffs if Canada strikes a trade deal with China. Mark Carney posted a video on Twitter urging Canadians to buy Canadian, and premiers across the country are weighing in — generally supporting Carney's message. Stephanie Taylor, National Post politics reporter, joins Evan to give the latest on what's happening in Ottawa and how lawmakers are responding to these increasing tensions.

Aujourd'hui dans le podcast, Ian et Joey se désolent de l'hystérie politico-médiatique collective dans laquelle nous vivons présentement au sujet du président américain Donald Trump et du potentiel achat du Groenland. On écoute également un segment de Radio-Canada sur le sujet. DANS LA PARTIE PATREON, on commence en parlant de quelques petites nouvelles en rafale sur la politique québécoise et canadienne, pour ensuite discuter longuement de la hausse des dépenses du gouvernement du Québec au fil des années ainsi que de l'augmentation du budget du Québec de 1970 à aujourd'hui. Ensuite, on lit un article du National Post portant sur un rapport de Statistique Canadaconcernant le niveau de confiance des Canadiens envers leurs différentes institutions — Parlement, médias, système de justice, police, etc. On termine avec Joey qui lit la plus récente chronique d'Émilise Lessard-Therrien.TIMESTAMPS0:00 Intro6:42 Les prédictions de Polymarket18:04 Carney au WEF20:28 Vidéo de Radio-Canada36:24 Dans un monde parallèle40:17 À venir dans le Patreon

"Lansin' and 8th " you'll be at large for any emergency that comes in" "10-4" It was transcribed as Lancaster and 8th.

And the fact Angell had been in same place - also out of his district. 28:59 "I'm at Keist and er Bonnie" (12:45pm) This is not Tippit's voice.

The final episode of The Food Professor Podcast for 2025 delivers a timely, wide-ranging examination of Canada's food system, blending macroeconomic analysis with a compelling, real-world industry case study. Co-hosts Michael LeBlanc and Dr. Sylvain Charlebois open the episode by reviewing their Top 10 Food Stories of 2025, a list that reflects a year defined less by short-term volatility and more by deep, structural challenges.Among the key themes is the growing consensus that food inflation in Canada is structural rather than cyclical, driven by long-standing issues such as interprovincial trade barriers, fragmented labour policy, logistics inefficiencies, regulatory complexity, and limited scale in food processing. The hosts revisit major developments including tariffs and counter-tariffs, the Grocery Code of Conduct, meat counter economics, the Ozempic and GLP-1 drug effect on food consumption, and the controversy surrounding cloned meat approvals. Together, these stories underscore why Canada's food system struggles to absorb shocks compared to larger, more flexible global peers.The second half of the episode features an in-depth interview with Ryan Koeslag, Executive Vice President & CEO of Mushrooms Canada, joined by Janet Krayden, Workforce Specialist at Mushrooms Canada. Together, they provide a rare inside look at one of Canada's most technologically advanced yet frequently misunderstood agricultural sectors. Listeners learn that Canadian mushrooms are grown 365 days a year, supply nearly 100% of domestic grocery demand, and export approximately 40% of production to the United States—all while operating with largely organic practices and world-class automation.A central focus of the discussion is labour. Koeslag and Krayden explain that mushroom farming is non-seasonal, capital-intensive, and highly technical, yet still dependent on skilled human labour for harvesting. Recent changes to the Temporary Foreign Worker Program, combined with the cancellation of the Agri-Food Immigration Pilot, have created significant unintended consequences for growers, threatening productivity, workforce stability, and long-term investment.The conversation also explores sustainability and innovation, highlighting Canada's leadership in mushroom automation, organic growing methods, and environmental stewardship. Krayden emphasizes that farmers are strong advocates for worker well-being and housing—an aspect often overlooked in public debate.The episode closes with forward-looking commentary on 2026, including front-of-package labelling, AI-driven pricing ethics, and the ongoing challenge of scaling Canada's “unscalable middle” in food processing—making this episode both a reflective year-end review and a practical roadmap for the year ahead.Mushrooms Canada Jobs webpage https://mushrooms.ca/mushroom-jobs/Mushrooms CanadaRecipes https://mushrooms.ca/recipes/Nutrition Page:   https://mushrooms.ca/nutritional-benefits/Quality farm worker housing Highline campus in Leamington: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1CNj4H8dGz/MORE high quality mushroom farm worker housing offered in Ontario for our farm workers https://youtu.be/ocrXL9DX7ys?si=Okdfpk2kx9lVHOoo The Food Professor #podcast is presented by Caddle.

Sponsored by EasyDNS https://easydns.com/NotOnRecord ## Episode Description In Episode 194 of Not on Record, seasoned Canadian criminal defense lawyers Joseph Neuberger and Michael Lacy dive deep into the realities of jury trials in Canada. Sparked by a recent National Post article exploring the inner workings of juries, they debate whether they'd choose a jury or a judge-alone trial if charged with a serious offense. The discussion covers the impact of the 2019 abolition of peremptory challenges, the challenges of selecting an impartial jury in today's polarized climate, the importance of storytelling and engagement in jury addresses, cultural shifts affecting civic duty and bias, and why many defense lawyers now lean toward bench trials especially in sexual assault cases. With candid insights from decades of trial experience, dog interruptions, and a call to restore peremptory challenges, this episode is a raw look at the strengths, flaws, and uncertainties of Canada's jury system.

This episode of The Food Professor Podcast opens with Michael and Sylvain analyzing the most pressing developments shaping Canada's food and retail landscape. Sylvain reflects on the extraordinary national and global reach of Canada's Food Price Report, which this year generated unprecedented media attention and continues to influence retailers, manufacturers, governments, and consumers planning for 2026. They dig into the structural issues behind Canada's complex food-tax regime, discuss why the GST holiday changed how Canadians think about food pricing, and explore the broader economic forces influencing consumer behaviour.The hosts then turn to one of the most surprising developments of the season: mounting instability in the chicken sector. With nine consecutive missed production cycles, increased reliance on imports, and confusion around border testing, the system designed to provide stability is under strain. Sylvain breaks down why this matters for households, grocers, foodservice operators, and the broader supply chain—especially as chicken remains Canada's most-purchased protein. The conversation then expands southward to U.S. agricultural subsidies, tariff battles, Costco's legal challenge over tariff refunds, and the potential fallout of proposed U.S. tariffs on Canadian fertilizer.The second half of the episode shifts to a live interview recorded at the Coffee Association of Canada conference, where Michael and Sylvain sit down with Carman Allison, Vice President, NIQ Canada, one of the country's most respected consumer data voices. Carman previews his conference keynote, “Navigating Disruption,” and explains why coffee inflation is reshaping buying behaviour even among loyal consumers who consider coffee essential. He outlines NIQ's segmentation showing that 29% of Canadian households are now financially vulnerable—and how this is affecting deal-seeking, product substitution, and consumption patterns.Drawing on NIQ's expanded Omni Shopper Panel, Carman describes how rapid multicultural population growth is shifting beverage preferences, why Generation X now holds the greatest spending power, and how value-seeking is reshaping entire store categories. He also reveals early evidence of the GLP-1 effect, where households using weight-loss or diabetes medications show measurable declines in food consumption.Carman closes by highlighting growth opportunities in instant coffee, protein-and-coffee hybrids, Maple-forward flavour innovation, and the continued rise of home-meal-replacement programs. His insights give retailers and suppliers a grounded, data-rich roadmap for growth in a highly price-sensitive marketplace. The Food Professor #podcast is presented by Caddle.

In this action and insight-packed episode of The Food Professor Podcast, Michael LeBlanc and Sylvain Charlebois sit down with Hugo Magnan, President of Groupe MAG, the Quebec-based culinary innovator behind some of Canada's most delicious mayonnaise, salad dressings, dips, and sauces. Hugo shares the company's origin story — founded in 1989 by his father Jacques — and explains how Groupe MAG carved out a loyal following through premium ingredients, bold flavours, and a commitment to craft. Michael even reveals his own culinary experiments using MAG mayonnaise in a Texan-style potato salad, highlighting the brand's versatility and taste advantage over mainstream competitors. The conversation explores the future of condiments, how regional producers scale nationally, and why MAG's formula resonates with consumers craving authenticity and umami-rich flavours.The second half of the episode pivots to the newly released Canada's Food Price Report, featuring a detailed breakdown of projected food inflation for 2026. Using AI-driven forecasting, Sylvain's research team anticipates grocery price increases of 4–6% next year — adding nearly $1,000 annually for a family of four. Meat, centre-aisle pantry goods, and restaurant meals are expected to drive most inflation, while coffee prices are entering what Michael calls “eye-watering levels” due to global supply constraints. Sylvain warns that restructuring by major food manufacturers may lead to fewer product choices, reducing competition and elevating prices, particularly in packaged foods.Yet, amid affordability challenges, the report identifies positive shifts. Canadian consumers are entering 2026 more informed, intentional, and empowered than during the pandemic inflation wave. Shopping trips per household have risen from five to more than seven per month, as families comparison-shop, loyalty surf, and embrace food rescue apps, private label alternatives, and price-matching codes. Structural forces — from discount grocer expansion in Quebec to declining alcohol consumption in restaurants — are also reshaping the retail landscape. Restaurants, facing lower bar revenues, will need to reinvent profitability while consumers lean more into at-home dining.Whether you're a food lover curious about better mayonnaise, a retailer navigating shifting economics, or a policy-watcher tracking food affordability, this episode blends culinary storytelling with hard-hitting data, offering both delicious inspiration and serious insight into the year ahead.

In this episode, Alex speaks with constitutional scholar Leonid Sirota about the notwithstanding clause—what it does, how it functions within Canada's constitutional architecture, and why its routine use undermines the very rights the Charter is meant to protect. Drawing on arguments from his National Post piece and earlier writing, Sirota explains why Section 33 was intended as an exceptional political safeguard, not a convenient escape hatch for governments, and why treating it as a routine tool erodes constitutionalism, weakens judicial oversight, and shifts the balance of power away from individuals and toward the state. References Leonid Sirota, “Yes, the notwithstanding clause overrides rights. No, it isn't defensible.” — National Post https://nationalpost.com/opinion/leonid-sirota-yes-the-notwithstanding-clause-overrides-rights-no-it-isnt-defensible “The Case Against the Notwithstanding Clause” — Leonid Sirota (Double Aspect) https://doubleaspect.blog/2018/10/04/the-case-against-the-notwithstanding-clause/ “Notwithstanding Myths” — Leonid Sirota (Double Aspect) https://doubleaspect.blog/2025/11/10/notwithstanding-myths/  Peter W.
