John Oakley tackles two storylines shaping Canada right now. First, Jocelyn Bamford—VP at Automatic Coating and founder of the Coalition of Concerned Manufacturers and Businesses of Canada—breaks down how U.S. tariffs and Ottawa/Queen's Park responses could hit Canadian manufacturing, from autos to steel, and what policy levers (energy costs, red tape, pipelines) might actually keep high-skill jobs here. Then Tristin Hopper, National Post columnist and author of “Don't Be Canada,” explains the latest polling: Mark Carney's fading honeymoon, a Conservative upswing, seniors consolidating as the Liberal base, a disappearing gender gap, and the NDP's ongoing slump. What we cover: How prospective U.S. tariffs could ripple through Windsor, Oshawa, Guelph, Brampton & beyond Auto sector realities under USMCA vs. headline panic—and whether political theatre helps or hurts Ontario's “hardball” signals (LCBO booze, critical minerals, energy) and investor confidence The cost stack for manufacturers: electricity, compliance, and “death by a thousand cuts” Poll shifts since the election: approval slides, vote-intent realignments, and where swing voters went Guests: Jocelyn Bamford (VP, Automatic Coating; Founder, Coalition of Concerned Manufacturers and Businesses of Canada); Tristin Hopper (Columnist, National Post; Author, “Don't Be Canada”).

We're joined by Augusta Distillery's national brand ambassador to dig into what makes single‑barrel, cask‑strength whiskey feel both world‑class and welcoming: a visitor experience designed for lingering, fair‑pour access to ultra‑premium bottles, and a production engine running 24/7 with new rickhouses coming online. If you've ever wondered how a brand can be NDP at the bottle while laying down barrels daily, or why the words unfiltered and uncompromised still matter, this one hits the spot.We taste through Old Route 8, Buckner's 13, and Buckner's 10—calling out the signatures that keep fans lining up: brown sugar and dark fruit, cinnamon warmth that stays clean, and a “dessert in a glass” profile that turns into an old fashioned over a single cube. Festival highlights abound—light‑yield unicorns selling out in hours, surprise drops of Buckner's 17 and hazmat 13—and a smart, simple cocktail reveal: the 8 and 8 highball with Kentucky's own Ale‑8, a fresh upgrade on the classic 7 and 7 that brings high‑proof whiskey into easy‑drinking territory. Along the way, we share a rare 1946 vintage pour that connects dust, medicine‑sweet cherry, and history to the present, a reminder that some of the best bourbon was made decades ago—and some is quietly aging for drinkers yet to come.Underneath the proofs and pours is purpose. Every bottle points back to Augusta, Kentucky: a flood‑tested river town, a one‑building K‑12 school, and a community that's received real support—funded arts, a renovated ballfield with the Cincinnati Reds, and a sense of pride you can feel on the lawn outside the distillery. Consider this your invite to make the trip: thieve from barrels, bottle your own, sit by the fire pits, and watch the ferry cross the Ohio as the leaves turn. If you love bourbon culture—barrel picks, rare releases, and stories that stick—you'll feel right at home.

In a crowded field of seven hopefuls, Zekharia Selahadin is hoping his simple grassroots approach will generate support on October 25th from voters in Elmwood- East Kildonan. Part 1- He moved to Canada from Ethiopia as a child and grew up in Elmwood, and has worked in childcare and with the Green Team. In Episode 49, Selahadin discusses the top issues he's hearing about at the doorstep- including crime and road and sidewalk conditions. He's joined the call for a replacement of the Louise Bridge. The new and far-from-improved Transit system also comes up, as "I've seen many individuals waiting for a bus and it's full and people are squished inside it. I've seen the frustration first-hand." It's affected his own family members getting to and from work at night and he worries about their safety, especially with the longer walks now required. Marty Gold asks him if the management of Winnipeg Transit needs to be hauled on the carpet.25.45 Part 2- Selahadin agrees "it's important to have a car" in Winnipeg but wants residential speed limits reduced to 30k and more bike lanes. 37.25- Crime and disorder from homeless encampments are impacting the ward. Selahadin says that while "police are trying their best" supports for those who want to get housed need to be maintained. He's not sure if a centralized encampment area, like at the Legislature, would work because "a fight club" could result between rival factions placed in close proximity to each other. The interview wraps up with his ideas to resolve food insecurity in the ward -For more information about his campaign, go to his website https://www.zekariaselahadin.ca******ONLY TGCTS is producing long-form interviews with the candidates for the EK city council seat!

She's knocked on hundreds of doors since the provincial election was called. And the conversations haven't always been easy. We meet Shazia Razi, the NDP candidate for Labrador West, and discuss the extra hurdles she has to clear to get elected.

It's been about a month since the NDP leadership race began and two main contenders have emerged: longtime climate activist and former broadcaster Avi Lewis, and NDP MP for Edmonton-Strathcona, Heather McPherson, one of the most prominent New Democrat voices in Western Canada.The NDP suffered a crushing defeat last election. The party went from 24 MPs to only seven, losing official party status. The next leader is faced with a monumental challenge to rebuild.Today, we've got two people with different visions of what that looks like.Martin Lukacs is the managing editor of the independent progressive media outlet The Breach. He's also the author of ‘The Poilievre Project'.Cheryl Oates is a political consultant, who worked for former Alberta NDP premier Rachel Notley. She's also worked on NDP campaigns across Western Canada, and teaches at McGill's Max Bell School of Public Policy.They join host Jayme Poisson for a spirited debate about the future of the NDP.For transcripts of Front Burner, please visit: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/frontburner/transcripts

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we're going to meetings. There's a big one at U.N. headquarters in New York this week, and Canada sent the new kid to dazzle everyone. Meanwhile, closer to home, Ontario's opposition parties have been having meetings and in some cases, they're shaking up the guest list. Even more closer to home, we don't do meetings, we do protests and marches on a Saturday. This Thursday, September 25, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss: UNGA for Carney. While another typically unhinged Donald Trump speech seized much of the attention, it seemed like Prime Minister Mark Carney was the proverbial belle of the ball at the United Nations General Assembly this week. Carney seemed to be putting points on the board, from dealing with the Chinese Premier to recognizing the State of Palestine, so is Carney able to do abroad what he's been unable to do at home: Be a uniter? Opposition Research. In the last two weeks, Ontario's two major opposition parties have had leadership reviews with two different results. Bonnie Crombie is out as Ontario Liberal leader and the Grits are now kicking off the third leadership race since 2018, and while Marit Stiles is still the head of the NDP it was only after barely meeting the threshold required to successfully be re-acclaimed as leader. With all this tumult in the ranks, how do the NDP or the Liberals hope to make a stand against the Ontario PC Party? They Drew the Line. Last weekend, there were over 70 different protests across Canada under the banner "Draw the Line". Essentially, the protest combined concerns about poverty, peace and the environment into one massive community event, and hundreds showed up in Guelph to take part... including the hosts of this show! We will talk about our thoughts on the protest and whether it was a real breakthrough for left-wing activism or if the organizers were just singing to the choir. Open Sources is live on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca at 5 pm on Thursday.

This week on rabble radio, we feature a segment from our most recent Off the Hill political panel. This month, our theme was ‘Off the Hill: Parliament's back in session.' Our panel featured Ontario Federation of Labour president Laura Walton; former Ontario NDP MPP and former federal NDP candidate Joel Harden; researcher and activist Chuka Ejeckam; and rabble's own parliamentary reporter Karl Nerenberg.   About our guests Laura Walton is the president of the Ontario Federation of Labour, the largest provincial labour federation in Canada, which represents 54 unions and one million workers in Ontario. Chuka Ejeckam is a writer and policy researcher. His work focuses on inequity and inequality, drug policy, structural racism, and labour. He is also a columnist for rabble. Joel Harden is a lifelong community organizer who represented Ottawa Centre in the Legislative Assembly of Ontario from 2018 to 2025 as a member of the Ontario New Democratic Party. During his time at Queen's Park, Harden served as the party's Critic for Transit and Active Transportation, where he championed accessible, affordable, and sustainable public transit solutions across the province. Karl Nerenberg is an award-winning journalist, broadcaster and filmmaker, working in both English and French languages. He is rabble's senior parliamentary reporter.

In this episode of Hub Politics, Sean Speer, along with Amanda Galbraith, principal at Oyster Group, and David Coletto, founder and CEO of Abacus Data, discuss Prime Minister Mark Carney's performance at the UN General Assembly meeting this week and his controversial decision to recognize the state of Palestine. They then cover the delayed November budget and Carney's "invest more, spend less" messaging, with polling data revealing that Canadians understand the fiscal challenges ahead and expect both significant investments and cuts. They also address the federal government's provocative Supreme Court challenge to limit provincial use of the notwithstanding clause and Avi Lewis's left-wing NDP leadership campaign launch and its implications for Canada's political landscape.   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?

It's been a tough time for party leaders. After Ontario Liberal leader Bonnie Crombie resigned following her 57% leadership review score, Marit Stiles of the Ontario NDP managed only a little better with 68%. Over in British Columbia, John Rustad of the Conservatives scored 70%. While Crombie couldn't hold on, Stiles and Rustad plan to stick around. But what number is good enough to stay on as leader — and what number should Pierre Poilievre aim for in his upcoming leadership review to keep his job safe?This week on The Numbers, we chat about these leadership review results and what they mean. We also discuss new federal polling numbers and the opening moves of the NDP leadership race for contenders Avi Lewis and Heather McPherson. Plus, we break down some new provincial survey results out of Quebec, Manitoba and Nova Scotia.

Send us a textCatch and release? Chris Scott now knows the process firsthand. The rookie MPP for Sault Ste. Marie was arrested Sunday night for alleged spousal abuse and released on bail the following day. He is charged with one count of assault and one count of assault with a weapon — the weapon being “a high chair,” according to court documents. (None of the allegations have been tested in court and Scott is presumed innocent until proven guilty).The 35-year-old was promptly booted from Doug Ford's PC caucus and is now an Independent MPP (at least for the time being). Although the NDP is demanding his resignation, Scott has yet to answer questions about the criminal case or his future as a politician.Should he step down? Can fellow MPPs force him to resign? And what do we know about Chris Scott, a one-time senior Ford staffer handpicked by the Premier to run in February's provincial election?Joining us on tonight's Closer Look are two Village Media journalists who covered the breaking story: Jessica Smith Cross, editor-in-chief at The Trillium, and Kenneth Armstrong, a reporter at SooToday.You can watch the full episode in the above YouTube video. Earlier this year, Scott sat down with SooToday for a one-on-one interview during the provincial election race.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.

Plus, filmmaker and activist Avi Lewis becomes the first approved candidate to announce his bid for the NDP leadership, and explains why he believes he can 'restore the party's fortunes'.

Newly minted Liberal Leader Mark Carney ran on an ambitious platform. He promised quick and bold action. But six months into his tenure as prime minister, what have Canadians witnessed? This week on “It's Political” we'll get a variety of viewpoints on how Carney is dealing with Trump, the economy, the environment, among other issues. Then, the Toronto Star's Ottawa bureau will discuss the challenges this government faces in passing its agenda. Who will be Carney's dance partner? And how does the NDP's search for a new leader, and Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre's review play into those considerations? Host Althia Raj is joined by politics reporters Ryan Tumilty and Raisa Patel, and the Star's deputy Ottawa Bureau Chief Alex Ballingall.  Also featured on this episode: Mark Warner, Principal at MAAW Law; economist Don Drummond, the Stauffer-Dunning fellow at Queen's University and a fellow-in-residence at C.D. Howe; and Anna Johnston, a staff lawyer at West Coast Environmental Law. This episode of “It's Political” was produced by Kevin Sexton and Althia Raj. Matt Hearn is our sound engineer. Our theme music is by Isaac Joel. Some of the audio clips this week were sourced from CPAC, CBC, CTV and BBC.

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. 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.After that, Matt is joined by a friend of the show, Jamie Carroll of Carroll & Co. Consulting. 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. 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.

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. An annual competition in San Francisco puts the "wha" in "guacamole" -- as contestants come through with some of the weirdest recipes imaginable when the chips are down.As It Happens, the Monday Edition. Radio that knows all guacamole champs have the same motto: "Mashin' accomplished".

Nahanni Fontaine couldn't stop herself from parroting radical rot about the heinous assassination of Charlie Kirk - and Premier Wab Kinew's ride to the rescue only made things worse for him and his Families Minister. In Episode 46, we review the public outburst after Kinew forgave Fontaine's online antics and half-baked apology and said she's not being fired from his NDP cabinet.Part 1 - Marty Gold recaps the whirlwind of news tips and more over the past few weeks. You'll hear about the recent focus of the podcasts on the East Kildonan by-election and the series of front page columns and reports in the Winnipeg Sun that revealed important facts about key City Hall and provincial issues:Police warrants for homeless shacks on public property a new low in public safety https://www.winnipegsun.com/opinion/columnists/gold-police-warrants-for-homeless-shacks-on-public-property-mark-new-low-in-public-safetyManitoba Teachers' Society needs a lesson on modern antisemitism https://winnipegsun.com/opinion/columnists/gold-manitoba-teachers-society-needs-a-lesson-on-modern-antisemitismSpeculation swirls about next location for safe consultation site https://winnipegsun.com/opinion/columnists/gold-speculation-swirls-about-next-location-for-safe-consultation-site8.00 Part 2- We provide a brief explanation about Charlie Kirk's influence on university campuses and among people under 40 through his Turning Point USA movement, countering the radicalization of youth by Marxist and "progressive" activists. After he was murdered while holding a debate in Utah, Nahanni Fontaine had to chime in, by reposting a vicious distortion of Kirk's character and Christian beliefs. It was so vile, even Wab Kinew called it "terrible" as he fielded a flood of emails demanding he take action. He told her to apologize but spurned calls for her removal from his cabinet. However his rationale stoked the controversy:‘We're going to work through this together, andI am going to try to help you understand why we need to bring people together and not to divide people at this time.'” Translation: This is costing the NDP voters because even her indigenous backers are appalled. But no one believes the mean-girl matriarch would change her ways- or deserves the chance to. "If @WabKinew refuses to fire Nahanni Fontaine heis telling a significant portion of the population that he does not give a shit if you are killed in front of your family for expressing unpopular opinions."Another listener pointed out: "She wouldn't have accepted an apology from anyone else."Listen to a sampling from our Facebook, Twitter and email feedback that suggests Kinew has painted himself into a corner. A women told us, "Her repeated lack of empathy, poor judgement, and lack in basic decency is well documented. This is a pattern, not a misstep... What's worse is that she's being shielded. The premier chose loyalty to a friend over responsibility to the people. "With the US government notified that Fontaine gave a platform to someone justifying the shooting, and failed to denounce an act of domestic terrorism that targeted a conservative spokesman, the Province of Manitoba itself could be on the receiving end of a FAFO consequence for Fontaine's obsession with social media clout.******Coming up- the dangerous antisemitism infestinghealth care and the medical profession.******A welcome influx of contributions has boosted the Season Six Funding Drive to $4155.00 !You can help us move towards the goal of $10,000 with a donation this week!

The U.S. President has issued his latest ultimatum on the Russia-Ukraine war. But the demand is directed at NATO. Donald Trump says the U.S. will slap major sanctions on Russia only when NATO members agree to stop buying Russian oil. It's one of several conditions the President is demanding that could cause a snag for alliance members, including Canada.Also: Parliament resumes next week in Ottawa, and the federal NDP are returning to fewer seats and shakier prospects. The tiny group of 7 MPs face a piling campaign debt -- and no permanent leader at its helm. We'll take you inside the party retreat in Parksville, British Columbia, where they are looking to regroup and strategize.And: It was the groundbreaking all-female festival of the 90s. Now, a new documentary screening at TIFF goes behind the scenes of Lilith Fair. We'll take you to the red carpet to hear from festival founder Sarah McLachlan.Plus: building a liquified natural gas plant on the East Coast, Nepal swears in new interim Prime Minister, the volunteers feeding firefighters in Nova Scotia, and more.

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.

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 Weekly Wrap panel breaks down the biggest moments in Canadian politics this week. Prime Minister Mark Carney unveils billions in funding to make Canada's economy more resilient. Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre calls for an end to the temporary foreign worker program. And the NDP leadership race kicks off.

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. One thing everyone seems to agree on is that any new leader needs to build a big tent. Bring back the labour vote. With Trump playing tariff bingo, there's a real opportunity to speak — and to listen — to workers.

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.​

The first two serious contenders for the federal NDP leadership have emerged in Heather McPherson and Avi Lewis, according to recent reporting. But the challenge they have ahead of them to rehabilitate the ailing New Democratic Party is enormous. Could the path laid out by Manitoba's Wab Kinew be the answer?This week on The Numbers, we discuss where the NDP goes from here as its leadership race officially begins. We also chat about whether we're seeing any corroboration of last week's polling numbers that showed some Liberal slippage, plus the potential for a couple of federal byelections in the next few months. Then, we break down the results of the Spruce Woods byelection in Manitoba, where the incumbent PCs were nearly upset in a safe riding. Plus, new poll numbers in Ontario disagree on where Doug Ford stands — is he in a dominant position, or just a really good one?

In a supersized edition of the Big 5...Elias Makos is joined by Dan Delmar, Co-founder of the content marketing firm TNKR Media and co-host of the podcast Inspiring Entrepreneurs Canada and Neil Drabkin, Neil is a former Federal Prosecutor and served as a Chief of Staff in the Harper government. Premier Francois Legault sat in the hot seat yesterday and was interrogated by the Gallant Commission about his involvement in the SAAQClic fiasco. Prime Minister Mark Carney meets with his Cabinet today on a two day retreat in Toronto. The race to replace federal NDP leader Jagmeet Singh is officially on.

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. CEO who snatched hat intended for young boy at US Open says he made 'huge mistake': this moment going viral over the weekend, honest mistake or do you think he is just apologizing because it's going viral and affecting his business?

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.

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.

Is Doug Ford the only one with his elbows up? 2 - Is enough being made about Ontario's lack of follow-through on housing promises. 3 - Doug Ford's Tories soar to a record high in poll as Marit Stiles' NDP struggles.

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.

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.

After a wave of cancellations across the country, The Alberta government has greenlit a major worship event featuring American Christian rock musician Sean Feucht on the Legislative Assembly of Alberta's grounds in Edmonton. Pro-Palestine activists plan to disrupt Toronto's subway Tuesday evening, demanding an immediate arms embargo on Ottawa's shipments to Israel. B.C. Conservative leader John Rustad wants the NDP government to appeal a B.C. Supreme Court decision granting Aboriginal title in Richmond, citing private property risks.

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.
