In this week's episode of On The Line, Matt Gurney is joined by Stephanie Levitz from Ottawa. Steph is a senior reporter in the Globe and Mail's Ottawa bureau. They break down the wave of Liberal announcements last week — and why the government will struggle mightily to turn promises into reality.This episode of On The Line is brought to you by Universities Canada. Canada has promised millions of new homes, shorter waits in health care and stronger defence. But promises don't design and engineer roads, staff clinics or secure networks — people do. That's why we need a clear, coordinated system to attract and retain the world's best talent, while creating more opportunities for Canadians. The best and brightest should always see Canadian universities as their first choice. It's time to put talent at the centre of Canada's priorities. The path forward starts with training people — and Canada's world-class universities are ready to lead the way.To learn more, visit Univcan.ca.Then they turn to the Conservatives: Pierre Poilievre's new self-defence and home defence plan is well timed, especially when contrasted with the Liberals' clumsy response. But the party is also deliberately testing the waters on temporary foreign workers. Matt and Stephanie dig into how a modern Western conservative party can navigate the line between legitimate criticism of a specific policy and sliding into anti-immigrant hysteria — and why, so far, Canada's Conservatives have mostly avoided that trap.Finally, a brief check-in on the NDP … which doesn't take long.Oh, and a lot of Ghostbusters references that go right over Steph's head. Matt couldn't help himself. They just ... popped in there.Subscribe at ReadTheLine.ca, follow us on your favourite podcast app, and don't forget to leave us a nice review.

Tonight on The Brian Crombie Hour, Brian interviews Jack Siegel, a prominent lawyer in Toronto, who shares his experiences with Ken Dryden and provides a tribute to Ken Dryden who passed last week. Jack met Ken in 2004 when he became the Liberal Party candidate in his riding. Jack notes Ken's unique ability to connect with people, particularly children, and described chairing Ken's 2005-2006 election campaign. Jack discusses Ken's political career, highlighting his passion for childcare and his role in negotiating universal child care agreements, which were delayed by the NDP's non-confidence vote in 2005. Ken's career was also a topic covered, focusing on his achievements in hockey and later in politics. Jack even pointed to Ken Dryden's views on a progressive and successful future for Canada, emphasizing that social safety net expansion and economic success are not mutually exclusive. Based on several interviews with or about political leaders in the past several weeks, Brian closes with some thoughts about leadership in political parties and the Ontario Liberal Party leadership review this weekend with some questions for delegates. 

Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer discuss the Conservative Party's evolving relationship with organized labour as traditional working-class voters increasingly shift away from the NDP. They also get into competing perspectives on whether the Conservatives should embrace unions directly or pursue a "pro-worker but not pro-union" approach. Finally, they examine the NDP's transformation away from a party focused on material worker interests to one reflecting professional-class preferences The Hub is Canada's fastest growing independent digital news outlet.   Subscribe to The Hub's podcast feed to get our best content when you are on the go:  https://tinyurl.com/3a7zpd7e (Apple) https://tinyurl.com/y8akmfn7 (Spotify)  Want more Hub?

The delays in repairing the Louise Bridge made Braydon Mazurkiewich decide to put his name on the ballot, and he's bringing a brash style of campaigning to the October 25th by-election in Elmwood- East Kildonan. Part 1 - He knows his way around political campaigns, but after the City of Winnipeg continually missed target dates to get the Louise Bridge open this, Braydon Mazurkiewich decided to try to succeed his late friend Jason Schreyer as councillor for Elmwood- East Kildonan. He takes credit for the flurry of work on-site to get repairs finished. We discusse his appearance at the community committee, where his call for a new bridge to be part of the next budget process was supported. Then he responds to the statements of Coun. Janice Lukes, chair of Public Works, dismissing the idea of a new bridge out of hand. "Maz" believes it's another example of people in the northeast quadrant getting the shaft while residents in southern wards like those of Lukes gets highways and recreation centres. He voices other criticism of the "elites" who he says call the shots at 510 Main Street. and "give lip service" to the needs of the EK ward. Marty Gold prompts a discussion about how difficult travel from the east side of Winnipeg going to the west is continually throttled. 14.00- Speaking to voters at the door, Maz says "it's all about the crime... we've got to clean up our city, man." He wants investment in youth programs and beat cops restored to the area as break-ins, vandalism and violence plague the businesses and residents like the seniors and veterans at the Legion Gardens - "they deserve some respect."19.57 Part 2- At City Hall, "I'm going to be the squeaky wheel." Maz says he's personally seen the brazen theft at the 7-Eleven and the stolen bike chop shops at illegal encampments on our riverbanks. "The city has dumped all their money to Main Street Project and it's not working... We have to find out who's doing a good job and support that one." 29.30 - Mazurkiewich is critical of how city neglect of the EK ward is affecting home equity by allowing the neighborhoods of "the hard working people" to slide, devaluing their homes. "This area needs some significant investment." 31.50- As for another candidate talking about being part of a "team" on council if they're elected, Maz says "the team you represent at city hall are the people that elect you in your ward so you can fight for every dollar that they deserve... I am on Team Elmwood-East Kildonan."The byelection is on October 25th. For more details on the Maz campaign, go to fightforelmwoodek.ca*****Marty Gold has been filing front page news in the Winnipeg Sun about important issues- here's the latest:- A city podcast recently described how “Inspector Helen Peters sees the glass half full for everything, particularly our downtown. Today, as a leader in downtown safety, she workshard so people can be proud of where they live.” She may be working hard, but no one is proud to live on Waterfront Drive, or in any of the districts where the theft, violence, screaming and mayhem are allowed by the authorities to carry on. For them the glass is not “half full.”Police warrants for homeless shacks on public property a new low in public safety- In July, Smith insisted the government was “on track” to have a facility opened by year's end. It was last week that she bumped the opening back to sometime before the end of the NDP's term in 2027. A week later Kinew said it was canned….They also did not reveal that a new application under Sec. 56.1 was already filed for a different SCS. And it was filed on July 4th.Why they kept this new application to replace the AHWC proposal a secret for almost two months is hard to figure, but it may have something to do with the proponents.The cat's out of the bag after Kinew plays coy about new drug site plan.Plus- Manitoba Teachers' Society needs a lesson on modern antisemitismClick here to support the Season Six funding drive

The race to succeed Jagmeet Singh has begun, but most of the NDP's big names are steering clear. Post-election, vibes within the party have been bleak, mired with handwringing, infighting, and no clear guiding vision.

As her party calls for all temporary foreign work outside of agriculture to be 'permanently abolished,' Conservative immigration critic Michelle Rempel Garner says it's 'bunk' that Canadians won't work certain entry-level jobs — despite criticism from the Canadian Federation of Independent Business that the move would be 'ridiculous' and jeopardize rural businesses. Plus, after the NDP lost most of its MPs in the federal election, interim leader Don Davies says the leadership race underway this week is the party's chance to ‘reconnect and rebuild' its relationship with the working class.​

Prime Minister Mark Carney received friendly fire from one of his biggest provincial supporters Tuesday, as Ontario Premier Doug Ford said he was 'getting concerned' about an 'almost elbows down' response to U.S. tariffs before dumping out a bottle of Crown Royal. The Power Panel discusses whether Ford's comments are a sign of fracture ahead of two days of private cabinet meetings. Plus, on the first official day of the NDP leadership contest, former NDP MP and past leadership candidate Nathan Cullen discusses how a new leader could rejuvenate the party after the 2025 election cleaved its numbers in the Commons.

Greg Brady and the panel of: Steve Paikin, Author and Broadcaster, host of The Paikin Podcast, Chloe Brown, policy analyst and former Toronto mayoral candidate, Discuss: 1. A lot of ugly GTA crime stories over the weekend….a lot. So - will the federal Liberals sit on all this. I feel it - very different perspectives about crime, bail, the Youth Criminal Justice Act - it's real unlikely the NDP will ever call for stiffer sentences….but don't the Liberals see what the public appetite is? 2. No school boards for the Toronto Catholic District School Board or the Toronto District School Board - I'm not happy with a lot of the behaviour, the rogue spending, the political activism of the Boards - it isn't the job….BUT…this is a failure of the Ford Government to not have this sorted out - Agree/Disagree? 3.

On this Labour Day episode of The Candice Malcolm Show, guest host Kris Sims pulls back the curtain on the noisy rhetoric that dominates this holiday. While union bosses lead parades and issue warnings that government services will be “cut to the bone,” Canadians deserve to hear the truth about who really represents workers. Kris explains the key difference between trade unions—the carpenters, boilermakers, and plumbers who work with their hands—and government unions like PSAC, which represent bureaucrats inside Ottawa. Trade unions fight for the people who build and fix things. Government unions fight for bigger bureaucracies, higher taxes, and more members on the payroll. Canadians are already paying a steep price. According to calculations highlighted by the Fraser Institute, the average worker loses more than 40 percent of their paycheque to taxes. That means less money for families to buy food, pay rent, or save for the future—while Ottawa keeps growing larger. Since 2015, the federal bureaucracy has ballooned by nearly 100,000 positions, yet services like passports and immigration processing have only gotten worse. Joining Kris is Brian Lilley, political columnist at the Toronto Sun and host of the Full Comment podcast. Brian has spent decades covering politics in Ottawa and Queen's Park. He explains why skilled trades are shifting away from the NDP and toward the Conservatives, what's really going on with Mark Carney's so-called budget “cuts,” and how government departments use scare tactics—threatening to close libraries, parks, or even the RCMP Musical Ride—to block meaningful restraint. The two also discuss how the CBC continues to dodge accountability—refusing to disclose how much taxpayer money is spent on advertising, and hiding how many Canadians actually subscribe to its Gem streaming app. Brian shares his insights on why CBC stonewalls access-to-information requests and how its management culture differs from standard newsrooms.

Trudie Mason, in for Elias Makos, is joined by Paul Gott, Lead singer and guitarist for Montreal Punk Rock band the Ripcordz and a journalism professor at Concordia and Political analyst Karim Boulos on The Big 5. The Labour vote has split across different political parties… The NDP isn’t the only one supporting worker rights anymore. People are headed to the street today to call for a general election in Quebec. Quebecers are encouraging people to take up two jobs to deal with increased cost of living.

Derek Fildebrandt, Nigel Hannaford and Cory Morgan discuss the cancellation of Ottawa Pride amid pro-Palestinian protests, the light sentencing for migrant offenders, and the apparent absence of Naheed Nenshi's NDP.

Health issues were to the fore in more ways than one this week. There was a very public back and forth between the Health Minister Jennifer Carroll MacNeill and BAM in relation to the National Children's Hospital. Closer to home on Galway Talks we focused in on the Rare Diseases Strategy which is being developed for the next five years up to 2030. There are calls for expansion of rare diseases tested for, but also reliability of said tests. While plans and strategies are important, ultimately it is delivery of changes and implementations of health recommendations that will make differences on the ground. We got to see the real human impact of that when Renmore mother Roisin Costello joined us alongside Anne Lawlor, a founding member and chair of 22q Ireland. Very poignantly at the end of the interview Roisin laid bare that due to inaction on implementing changes other families have gone through similar situations to her family as genetic anomalies have not been caught by the screening system. She wants to see and has renewed her calls for a centralised screening lab here in Ireland so that nothing is missed by health officials. Giving families the medical advice they need by making them aware of all the factors going into subsequent pregnancies. BreastCheck missing screening targets for a second year running also made headlines locally here in Galway. We covered it with Prof. Michael Kerin who is over the cancer programme locally and Edel Shovlin the COO of the Irish Cancer Society. Staffing dominated the changes needed alongside implementation of recommendations and completed promised infrastructure projects. In more positive news for service users and family members in Loughrea, the Seven Springs Day Centre fully reopened this week following a long campaign from the Loughrea Concerned Citizens Group. Mattie Quinn heralded the reopening and put it down to people power, adding that “they won't be going away” anytime soon. The Presidential election has remained in the focus and this week on Galway Bay FM we heard calls for grassroots Fianna Fáil members to be given a say in who will contest the race for the Áras. Loughrea area Cllr. Michael Regan hit out at the top brass of the party and expressed his support for Eamon O'Cuív. He wants to see a democratic process opened up without delay. We should hear more on the next moves from Fianna Fáil next week when the Taoiseach discusses options with the parliamentary party. Meanwhile, two Ministers from the party were on Inis Oírr this week to announce the first announcement of the NDP spending ahead of Budget 2026. The island will benefit from over 35 million euro investment in its pier, some 20 years on from when the project became one of the many victims from the financial downturn. Better late than ever and a shock to islanders, planning will now begin in earnest to get the most out of this massive infrastructural boost to the area. Don't forget we are out and about on Friday next the 5th of September for Community Matters! We will be covering Kilnadeema Leitrim from Finnerty's Mills in the heart of Southeast Galway.

Kory Teneycke, conservative strategist, co-founder of Rubicon Strategy, and three times campaign manager to Premier Doug Ford, joins Rudyard Griffiths to analyze the political dynamics as Parliament returns in mid-September. They examine Prime Minister Mark Carney's early challenges, from trying to deliver on ambitious promises like internal free trade and major infrastructure projects, managing a potentially massive budget deficit, to holding together his progressive coalition. They also discuss Pierre Poilievre's return to Parliament, his need to reset his approach and how Canada's political landscape has effectively become a two-party race, with the NDP's collapse creating opportunities for both the Liberals and Conservatives.   The Hub is Canada's fastest growing independent digital news outlet.   Subscribe to The Hub's podcast feed to get our best content when you are on the go:  https://tinyurl.com/3a7zpd7e (Apple) https://tinyurl.com/y8akmfn7 (Spotify)  Want more Hub?

On today's episode of the Candice Malcolm Show, Candice talks about how progressive virtue signalling and performative wokeism are destroying our country. In British Columbia, woke activists, academics and the NDP government officials routinely use terms like: settlers, colonizers and “uninvited guests” to describe Canadians. So it's no surprise that some First Nations are taking this literally. A beautiful provincial park just north of Whistler will close for the third time this year to “settlers” and only verified First Nations members can enter. Yes, in Canada in 2025, your race and bloodline determine where you can and cannot go. This is what apartheid looks like. Candice is joined by political thinker Caroline Elliot, who holds a PhD in political thought and works as a Senior Fellow with the Aristotle Foundation for Public Policy. Caroline argues that Canada is heading in a dark direction. They discuss the distorted coverage by the legacy media – who hand wave and justify these race-based closures – and talk about the real implications of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) and its accompanying legislation in British Columbia. Finally, they discuss the uncomfortable details of the recent B.C. Supreme Court ruling that gave 800 acres of private and public property to a First Nation tribe. In the written evidence, we learned how the Cowichan First Nation was able to obtain that land – through extreme acts of violence and barbaric force. So why does their historic use of force give them the right to the land, but early French and English explorers who conquered and developed Canada are seen as illegitimate? Next, Candice speaks to Alberta lawyer Ricky Bagga about proposed changes to Alberta's insurance laws that he argues strips away rights and imposes a top down model onto Albertans.

This week on On The Line, Matt Gurney is joined by two guests for two very different conversations. First up is Christopher Nardi, a parliamentary reporter at the National Post's Ottawa bureau, and an old friend of Matt's. They talk about the end of the summer — yes, sadly it's true — and what we've seen so far from the Carney government. Chris offers some hope that there might be more going on than has met the eye, but he's also a realist about the challenges the new government is going to face. The two also touch on the Conservatives, and why that party is glad to have its leader back in the House, before musing about the future — if any — of the federal NDP. They aren't writing the New Democrats off entirely, but making it back from here will be a steep climb.This episode of On The Line is brought to you by Airbnb. Canada needs to take real action on bringing housing costs down – but experts agree that regulating short-term rentals like Airbnb is nothing more than a distraction. This makes sense when you consider two key statistics: Canada needs 5.8 million homes to reach affordability by 2030, and Airbnbs account for only 0.6 per cent of Canada's overall housing stock. The closer you look, the clearer it gets that Canada needs bold action that addresses the entire housing market, not just 0.6 per cent of it.Additionally, regulating short-term rentals would limit the productive role that Airbnbs play in helping Canadians get by. Did you know that 47 per cent of Airbnb hosts in Canada report that income from hosting has helped them stay in their homes? To learn more about how Airbnb is helping, not hurting, Canada's economy, visit Airbnb.ca/closerlook.After that, Matt is joined by Ian Runkle, a lawyer with expertise in firearms law and self-defence, and also the voice behind the YouTube channel Runkle of the Bailey. The conversation is all about, as they say, "just the facts." What is the law on self-defense in Canada? What can you do, and what can't you do? Why did an attempt by the Harper government to make the law better for people defending themselves actually end up making things worse in some ways? And if Ian had the chance, how would he fix it? As it turns out, he and Matt are thinking along very similar lines.This episode is also brought to you by the Métis Nation of Ontario. It's Penetanguishene, 1840. More than a decade after relocating from Drummond Island, a group of Métis families signed their names to paper. Their petition was simple: recognize us and our rights. The answer was a policy formally excluding Métis communities from recognition, denying their existence for generations. But the petitions did not stop. From Penetanguishene to Sault Ste. Marie, Fort Frances and north to Moose Factory, Métis in Ontario insisted they are a distinct Indigenous people, with their own history, identity, and rights. That fight has carried forward into self-government agreements with Canada. Today, the Métis Nation of Ontario is a recognized Métis government, with the authority to build its own laws, institutions, and future. What began as a petition nearly two centuries ago lives on in the work of the MNO today, ensuring that Métis rights are recognized for generations to come.

Pierre Poilievre and the Conservatives are now leading Mark Carney's Liberals in a new poll from Abacus. And it's only going to get worse for the Libs as Canadians see through their smokescreen. Conservatives take the lead in Canada, and the cracks in Mark Carney's political façade are starting to show. Is this the beginning of his polling nightmare? The latest Abacus data reveals a surge for Conservatives as Canadians voice their growing frustration with the rising cost of living, economic mismanagement, and out-of-touch leadership. Meanwhile, Carney continues his legacy of false promises and shaky policies built on a crumbling foundation.From the collapse of Liberal support to the erosion of trust in the NDP's woke agenda, this is a turning point for Canada.

On today's episode of the Candice Malcolm Show, Candice explains the recent landmark ruling from the B.C. Supreme Court that declares existing title to be “defective and invalid” – thus taking away established property rights. Justice Barbara Young ruled that 800 acres in Richmond, BC – including industrial property owned and managed by different levels of government as well as privately held land – “have established Aboriginal title” and thus rightfully belong to the Cowachan Tribes. Other local First Nations, including the Musquem Indian Band and Tsawwassen First Nations, are upset by the ruling as they also claim title to this land. As Candice points out, this is what the LAND BACK activists have been calling for. This is why they force us to listen to “land acknowledgements.” They believe Canada is an illegitimate country, that Canadians are mere “settlers” and that the land belongs to the various First Nations tribes that make competing claims. And they have legal precedent, thanks to this insane court ruling. Candice is joined by B.C. Conservative Leader John Rustad to discuss this ruling and what it means for British Columbia, specifically property owners. John Rustad has called for an urgent appeal of this ruling, stating that it threatens private property and investment into B.C. Candice and John discuss how this ruling is downstream from the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People (UNDRIP), and corresponding legislation in B.C. and Canada. Next, they talk about the B.C. NDP government's excessive spending and their catch-and-release crime policies that are making B.C. more dangerous. Finally, they discuss the future of the B.C. Conservative Party and his leadership review this fall. Thank you to Unsmoke for sponsoring today's episode. You can learn more at https://www.unsmoke.ca Learn more about your ad choices.

On Friday's edition of SaskAgToday with Ryan Young: A little bit of protein mixed with politics, as the NDP are critical of a U.S. ag company buying another company in Saskatchewan; Federal Ag Minister Heath MacDonald returns from a week long trade mission to the Indo-Pacifc region, and a 4-H Beef Show is underway in Yorkton.

Tydens sy toespraak by die opening van die 16de inname deur die Nasionale Jeugdiens by die Hentiesbaai-opleidingsentrum, het adjunk-onderwysminister Dino Ballotti die regering se verbintenis herbevestig om befondsing vir die Nasionale Jeugdiens te verhoog, gelei deur nasionale beleide soos Visie 2030 en NDP 6. Jeuginskrywings het gegroei van 350 in 2023 tot 'n rekord van 1 068 in 2025, wat 'n sterk nasionale belegging in jeugontwikkeling weerspieël.

The Herle Burly was created by Air Quotes Media with support from our presenting sponsor TELUS, as well as CN Rail.Well greetings, you politically curious Herle Burly-ites! Fred DeLorey is here, making his 2nd appearance on the show, which means he's dangerously close to becoming an official “friend of the pod.” Fred is a long-time Conservative strategist and campaign director. He was the National Campaign Manager for Erin O'Toole in 2021. Before that he was Director of Field Operations for Ontario Premier Doug Ford. And he's a former Director of Political Operations for Stephen Harper. As well as Director of Comms and National Spokesperson. Today, he's Chair and Chief Strategy Officer at NorthStar Public Affairs. So, with that kind of CV, you'd expect we'd talk about the current state and prospects for the Conservative Party, which we will.But first, I want to take this conversation in another direction.  Fred's a longtime Party and campaign operative, as you've just heard. And we talk a lot on the pod about what makes a party succeed.  I want to dive into: What breaks a Party ... with specific reference to Canada's NDP.Given the dismal results of the last election is the NDP facing bankruptcy to the point their existence is threatened? What kind of resources does a party need these days for a fully funded modern campaign? How does the NDP come back from their debt, without having official Party status? Should they even try or just fold and let a new party emerge? And what does this mean for the CPC, who need a strong party on the Left?Full disclosure here: I'm banking on Fred being able to talk about the reality of the NDP's predicament in a way that most NDP folks can't, or won't, right now.Thank you for joining us on #TheHerleBurly podcast.

The Government's updated National Development Plan (NDP) proposes to spend a vast sum of money on capital infrastructure. But beyond three ‘mega projects' there is little detail and the vagueness of the document has led to some skepticism. In part one of today's podcast Pat Leahy joins Hugh Linehan to discuss the NDP and whether the Government's promise to prioritise infrastructure could survive a major economic shock - the kind created by heavy US tariffs, for example, They then look at the Summer Economic Statement, also revealed this week, which shows there will not be much wriggle room in this year's Budget. In part two, back to the NDP and what it says about the Government's plan for the development of transportation infrastructure. Dublin's proposed MetroLink is one of the three mega projects identified, but there is €20 billion earmarked for other unidentified projects. Where should it go? How much will be spent on new roads, and what are the implications for carbon emissions? And what about public transport projects outside Dublin? Professor Brian Caulfield talks to Hugh and Pat. Brian Caulfield is a Professor in Transportation in the Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering at Trinity College Dublin. Hosted on Acast.

Welcome back, whiskey lovers! In this episode of The PodCask, Will and Greeze dive headfirst into the resurgence of age statements in the world of bourbon and American whiskey. The conversation kicks off with some friendly banter about recent whiskey competitions, family reunions, and updates from summer break, before they get right to the big whiskey news—the release of Old Granddad Bottled-in-Bond with a seven-year age statement at just $39.99. Will and Greeze break down what this means for the industry and celebrate the trend of legacy brands bringing back meaningful age statements at accessible prices. They compare recent and upcoming releases from Wild Turkey, Old Fitzgerald, and Eagle Rare, and discuss the business motivations behind these moves, from changing market demand to looming whiskey supply gluts. The guys also examine how this age statement “renaissance” could spell trouble for NDP (non-distilling producer) brands, and why consumers should be excited about the expanding options on the shelves. To top it all off, they share pours from up-and-coming craft distilleries, and revisit what makes small-batch, age-stated bourbons so special for everyday whiskey enthusiasts. So pour your favorite dram and settle in—this episode is packed with whiskey insights, laughs, and a look at the future of bourbon through the lens of age statements making a big comeback.
