Podcast appearances and mentions of Pete Hoekstra

Lots of good talk on Good Talk this week, starting with Chantal and Bruce on Mark Carney's trip to Paris today and his talks with Emmanuel Macron.  France is hosting the G7 next week, but for many, it's really a G6 with Donald Trump's America, no friend of the group.  That and CUSMA and social media bans top the discussion agenda today.

Join Elizabeth May, the Co-Leader of the Canadian Green Party and a dedicated MP from British Columbia, as she boldly confronts the alarming and disrespectful actions of the Trump administration's US Ambassador to Canada, Pete Hoekstra. His amplification of Trump's threats to turn Canada into the 51st state is not just outrageous; they are a call to action for all Canadians. Now is the time for us to demonstrate our unity and resilience.May urges Canadians to stand together and reject the ambassador's antics while calling on Prime Minister Mark Carney to enhance our trade diversification away from Trump's America. This is crucial for safeguarding our economy and our national identity. May advocates for solutions such as Saving Canada Bonds and strategic potash reserves to protect our interests.To our fellow Albertans: your fight for our shared Canadian identity is vital. Stand firm and remind those around you that we are stronger together. Let's support American leaders who truly value our friendship and partnership.In this urgent dialogue, host Laura Babcock shines a light on how Pierre Poilievre's rhetoric is jeopardizing our country's strength—his narrative amplifies fear and vulnerability at a time when we should be showcasing our resilience and unity against external threats.This conversation isn't just informative; it's a rallying cry to defend our democracy and our way of life.

U.S. Ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra joins David Leis for a blunt conversation about trade, pipelines, critical minerals, China, and why the U.S. is growing frustrated with Canada's direction.  Hoekstra says America wants to partner with Canada, grow prosperity, protect freedoms, and build major projects together, but warns the relationship is being tested by harmful policies, trade barriers, and political decisions coming out of Ottawa.  He says the U.S. is taking Canada's words seriously and shares what closer ties with China could mean for Canada's future.

U.S. Ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra is no stranger to diplomacy — but even he admits this moment is different. In an exclusive, full-length interview with Ezra Levant, Hoekstra speaks candidly about the growing strain between Canada and the United States — a relationship once considered unshakeable, now tested by politics, trade disputes, and a surge in anti-American sentiment north of the border. Polls show anti-Americanism in Canada at new highs. But according to Hoekstra, that shift isn't accidental — it's being fuelled by political leaders and amplified by a media class increasingly hostile to the United States. So how did we get here? And more importantly — can it be fixed? In this one-hour conversation, Hoekstra tackles the biggest flashpoints in Canada–U.S. relations, including: Escalating trade tensions and the future of the auto sector Military cooperation and continental defence The rise in anti-Semitic violence — including attacks on U.S. diplomatic targets Alberta's independence movement and the future of Canadian energy Pierre Poilievre's outreach to the United States It's a rare, behind-the-scenes look at diplomacy during a period of real uncertainty — and a chance to hear directly from the man representing American interests in Canada at a time when those interests are increasingly under fire. The interview is presented in full, unedited — a candid, wide-ranging discussion that covers the waterfront of issues shaping the future of the Canada–U.S. relationship. Watch the full interview and decide for yourself: is the relationship broken — or just strained? And what would it take to get it back on track?

Prior to his nomination to his current position as the U.S. Ambassador to Canada, Pete Hoekstra served as Chairman of the Michigan Republican Party during the 2024 elections, where his leadership did much to deliver a Republican victory.  During the first Trump Administration, Pete served as Ambassador to the Netherlands.   Previous to that service, Pete was elected as a Member of Congress from 1993 to 2011, representing Michigan's 2nd District.  In Congress among other responsibilities, Pete was Chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence from 2004 to 2007.  Pete is a graduate of Hope College in Holland, Michigan and then worked to receive an M.B.A. degree from the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor.  Subsequent to that, Pete was awarded an Honorary Doctorate from Grand Valley State University and has also been the recipient of many other outstanding awards.

When I asked him about his relationship with his "boss" Donald Trump, Pete described some of his periodic one-on-one interactions with the President.  Finally, Pete helped conclude our discussion by leading us in a sincere prayer to our Lord Jesus Christ.

Stay informed and effective in Lansing's fast-paced environment, whether you're a public official, staffer, or policy professional. All from the only Michigan owned, managed and operated Capitol news service! Questions included: What are your thoughts on the election of Donald Trump as President? What did you think of the statewide elections in Michigan? What do you expect in 2025 political news wise? What new laws in Michigan should we be focused on? Tony and Kyle discussed the political landscape in Michigan, focusing on the upcoming elections in 2025 and the potential legal challenges to new laws. They analyzed the reasons behind the flip in Michigan, attributing it to the Democrats' failure to effectively compete against both Donald Trump and the Republicans, and looked ahead to the upcoming chair elections for both parties. The conversation also touched on the potential cooperation between the new Republican Speaker of the House Matt Hall and Democratic Governor Whitmer, and the implications for future political runs. • Pete Hoekstra to assume role as Ambassador to Canada. • Republican Party to elect new chair at February 21, 2025 convention. • Democratic Party to elect new chair at February 21 or 22, 2025 convention. • Governor Whitmer to potentially begin making appearances in Iowa and New Hampshire for future presidential election considerations. • Governor Whitmer and Republican Speaker Matt Hall to establish working relationship and negotiate on legislative priorities. • Senate Majority Leader to present legislative agenda for consideration by the House and Governor. Michigan Political Landscape 2025 Discussion Tony and Kyle discussed the upcoming political landscape in Michigan for 2025. Tony invited Kyle to share his insights on new laws and measures, while also allowing for discussion on other political topics. Kyle, the owner and editor of MIRS, the Michigan Capital News service, and a columnist at the Lansing City pulse, was set to share his perspectives on the political scene. The conversation was expected to cover significant events and decisions from the previous year, with a focus on the return of Donald Trump and the Democrats' perceived failure. Disconnect Between Politicians and Voters Tony and Kyle discussed the outcome of the last political season, focusing on the disconnect between the politicians' goals and the voters' desires. Kyle suggested that Democrats failed to connect with voters by not tailoring their message to specific regions and not addressing the needs of men, particularly black men. Kyle concluded that Democrats didn't do badly overall, but they didn't win on the margins in some areas. Tony agreed with Kyle's analysis and suggested that a different strategy might have been more effective for the Democrats.
