If there's anyone other than U.S. President Donald Trump who can take credit for helping the Liberals try to hang onto power, it's NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh. After years protecting the Liberal government from falling in the House, Singh spent last week's debates inexplicably assisting Liberal Leader Mark Carney, as Brian discusses with Tasha Kheiriddin and Stuart Thomson from the Political Hack newsletter. They consider whether Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre's performance moved the needle enough to overtake this new Liberal-NDP alliance in the federal election, and the difference voter turnout will make. They also get into other interesting developments, from Poilievre's advocacy for the notwithstanding clause to Carney's curious defence of tax avoidance and the disgraced gun buyback.

Two years ago bombshell allegations emerged suggesting foreign actors were succeeding in influencing Canadian electoral contests and Canadian parliamentarians. Media reports suggested the Liberal government hadn't done enough to warn the public or even MPs about the matter, and a political debate emerged about how best to get to the bottom of it. After a series of false starts, it was Quebec Court of Appeal Justice Marie-Josée Hogue who was appointed to investigate and weigh in with findings and recommendations.  Tuesday, Hogue issued her final report.  While Hogue left some questions answered, she came to a very different finding on a key matter involving foreign interference and parliamentarians. This week on “It's Political,” we unpack what we learned from Hogue's report and what it says about where foreign interference threats now lie.  Then NDP MP Charlie Angus joins us to discuss what he see as the next and most concerning phase of foreign interference. Hint: it's at your fingertips.  In this episode: The Center for International Governance Innovation's senior fellow Wesley Wark, Timmins—James Bay NDP MP Charlie Angus, Green Party Leader Elizabeth May, NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh and Public Safety Minister David McGuinty. Hosted by Althia Raj. Some of the clips this week were sourced from CPAC, CBC, Global, ABC and CTV. This episode of “It's Political” was produced by Althia Raj and Kevin Sexton. Matt Hearn is our sound engineer. Our theme music is by Isaac Joel.

As Trump's looming tariffs seem inevitable, the Libs have come up with a cynical new scheme to pay Canadians a pandemic-level bailout for workers and businesses – presumably plunging the country deeper into debt with even more inflationary spending.  Perhaps most disturbing of all, NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh is open to supporting the Liberal government in passing this multi-billion dollar bribe to Canadians before the next election.  On today's episode of the Candice Malcolm Show, Candice is joined by retired political scientist Tom Flanagan. They discuss this potential program, how we already have EI for this purpose, and why Singh keeps breaking his promise and backing the Libs.  Candice and Tom also discuss Trump, the tariffs, Jordan Peterson's controversial essay in the National Post, the foreign interference report and the prospects of a Mark Carney government.  Later in the show, they discuss the new critically acclaimed documentary, Sugarcane, about residential schools and how it promotes a misleading narrative and gets many facts wrong. Tom discusses the important facts omitted from the documentary, and provides a reality check about Canada's past and present treatment of First Nations people. Learn more about your ad choices.

U.S. President Donald Trump showed the world how serious he is when it comes to immigration and national security. Trump tried to deport a group of Colombian criminals back to Colombia, but was stopped by the socialist President. Trump responded by unleashing a host of threats, and the Colombian government quickly folded and took the criminals back. This shows that Trump means business, and that he's willing to fight back against those who stand in the way of his agenda.  On today's episode of the Candice Malcolm Show, Candice discusses what Canada can learn from this episode and why we should work with Trump, not against him. She analyzes Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre's response to a potential trade war, discusses the Ontario election, and looks at the state of the Liberal Leadership race.  Later in the show, Candice is joined by Julien Newman – an NDP strategist and former advisor to previous leaders Jack Layton and Thomas Mulcair – and they discuss his efforts to force an election and his ongoing feud with NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh.

Not long ago it seemed like the carbon tax was a fait accompli in Canada. Two elections were fought where this was a major issue, and the Liberals came out on top in both of them.But now, things are suddenly looking very different. It's not just Pierre Poilievre and the Conservatives hammering the Liberals about “axing the tax,” a growing number of Canadians have negative views of it too. And last week, NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh — who has previously voted with the Liberals on their carbon pricing scheme — seemed to cast doubt on it too.So how did Canadians turn against the carbon tax, a scheme where most people actually get more money back than what they put in?Today we're speaking to climate journalist Arno Kopecky about the life, and possible death, of Canada's carbon tax.For transcripts of Front Burner, please visit: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/frontburner/transcripts

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh said Justin Trudeau has "failed" as a prime minister. But when asked if that means he'll pull the NDP's support for the Liberal government, Singh just said there's already a scheduled election coming in October 2025 and he just wants Canadians to know they have an alternative. True North's Andrew Lawton says it's clear the NDP and the Liberals are one party, so Singh should stop pretending otherwise. Also, a new decision by the Supreme Court of Canada allows judges to award compensation if Parliament or provincial legislatures enact unconstitutional legislation.
