Should Prime Minister Carney remove counter-tariffs on US goods? Or should we fight back with more retaliatory tariffs? Ontario Premier Doug Ford is calling on Prime Minister Carney not to “roll over” and to hit back hard, even pushing for more counter‑tariffs and limiting U.S. electricity exports. Meanwhile, Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe urges a more cautious path: easing Canada's retaliatory tariffs to avoid making goods unaffordable for Canadians and instead focusing on internal trade reforms and infrastructure. In Episode 189, Bill breaks down why these provincial divisions matter and why Prime Minister Carney refuses to rush a trade deal, and why bold, strategic planning—not panic—is the key.Don't forget to like, follow and subscribe across our channels!

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.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford has a track record of taking from the public to give to private interests. No where is this more evident than his government's approach to environmental conservation. Time and again, Doug Ford has removed public land to give to private developers, all in the name of supposedly strengthening the provincial economy and building houses. In recent years, parks and other greenspaces have been sold off for the creation of spas, highways, and some housing all while destroying valuable habitats and ecosystems. Today on rabble radio, I speak with Tim Gray, the Executive Director of Environmental Defence about the recent announcement that 60 per cent of the provincially owned Wasaga Beach will be handed over to private developers. About our guests  Tim Gray is the Executive Director of Environmental Defence, a leading environmental advocacy organization in Canada. He is responsible for leading the organization's initiatives to safeguard Canada's freshwater, build livable cities, get toxic chemicals out of the products we use, clean up plastic pollution and transition Canada from fossil fuels to modern, clean energy.    Tim was a founding Board member of Global Forest Watch Canada and Wildlife Conservation Society Canada, and in addition to leading Environmental Defence, he is also the Board of Directors of Evidence for Democracy.

Send us a textTonight on Village Media's new 'Closer Look' podcast: One month after masked men tried to steal a vehicle out of Doug Ford's driveway, a new report finds a major decline in reported auto thefts.Last year, when the provincial and federal governments announced millions of dollars in funding to crack down on car thieves, Ontario Premier Doug Ford had a stern warning for would-be criminals: “We're coming after you.”They actually came after him, it turned out. But in the end, the government crackdown appears to be working.A new report released this week found the number of vehicles reported stolen across Canada is way down during the first six months of 2025 — including in Ontario, where reported auto theft has dropped nearly 26 per cent.Équité Association, the industry group that released the report, credits much of the drop to collective efforts aimed at combating the crime from coast to coast.Our guest on tonight's Closer Look podcast is Bryan Gast, a former OPP officer who is now the national vice-president of investigative services at Équité Association.Hosted by Village Media's Michael Friscolanti and Scott Sexsmith, 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.New episodes of Closer Look drop every Monday to Friday at 7 p.m. across the Village Media network, or wherever you find your favourite podcasts.

If you've been following the pod the last few weeks, you're familiar by now with the fact that all the Airbnbs that could be converted into long-term homes account for only 0.6 per cent of Canada's housing stock – and Canada can't solve a housing crisis with less than one per cent of a solution.But did you know that 47 per cent of Airbnb hosts in Canada report that income from hosting has helped them stay in their homes?Learn more about the critical role Airbnb plays in helping Canadians get by at Airbnb.ca/closerlook.First up: veteran pollster and friend of the show John Wright joins Matt to look at how Canadians are feeling three months into Prime Minister Mark Carney's post-election tenure. What do the numbers say? Why are some Canadians especially grumpy? And why haven't the Conservatives really found their footing yet? Wright and Gurney also talk about Pierre Poilievre's absence from the conversation, and why Ontario Premier Doug Ford seems happy to wait it all out — for now.This episode of On The Line is also brought to you by the Métis Nation of Ontario. It's Penetanguishene in the 1860s. For generations, Métis families fished these waters. Métis grandparents taught grandkids to cast nets. Fathers packed crates bound for the trading post. Mothers salted the morning's catch. And the smell of lake water and woodsmoke became deeply embedded in memories. Every summer, Métis boats carved routes through Georgian Bay with persistence. Their Métis traditions and trade became the commerce that built Canada. Today, while Canadian families head north to the cottage to play, remember those who paddled north to build, and know that Métis communities continue the traditions that built Canada.

Professional and business services led the way with 57,000 new jobs, followed by financial activities with 38,000 and manufacturing with 21,000. In other words, despite the policy “uncertainty” and alleged “downbeat” consumer mood cited by critics of the Trump administration's trade agenda, businesses kept hiring at a healthy clip.
