Podcast appearances and mentions of Pierre Poilievre

The Conservative party is reeling from a pair of resignations that happened during budget week.First, Nova Scotia MP Chris d'Entremont crossed the floor to the Liberals, citing disagreement with Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre's approach to politics.Two days later, Edmonton MP Matt Jeneroux resigned from his position, citing the need for more time with his family. According to a senior Liberal source who spoke to the CBC, Jeneroux was in talks with Prime Minister Carney about defecting.Longtime federal politics reporter Stephen Maher walks us through the high stakes political drama. Maher is also the author of “The Prince: The Turbulent Reign of Justin Trudeau”.For transcripts of Front Burner, please visit: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/frontburner/transcripts

Budgets, especially minority government budgets, always bring a degree of parliamentary drama. That and a lot more with Chantal Hebert and Bruce Anderson joining Good Talk for their weekly commentary.

Pierre Poilievre's Conservatives react to Edmonton MP Matt Jeneroux announcing his resignation. Canadian economy exceeds expectations as it adds 67,000 jobs in October. Shots heard outside Universal Ostrich Farms, hours after CFIA announced it will proceed with cull of 300 birds. Vietnam cleaning up after Typhoon Kalmaegi, five people killed. Aid groups warn not enough humanitarian supplies are reaching those in need in Gaza. Sam Smith calls Beverly Glenn-Copeland 'statesman of queer community' at Pink Awards.

The Liberal government breezed past a second potentially fatal vote tied to its budget on Friday, but the outcome of a final vote expected on Nov. 17 remained unclear amid undecided parties and rumours about further resignations or floor-crossings. Parliamentary secretary to the prime minister Kody Blois lays out the Liberals' strategy to keep their government alive. Plus, former Conservative chief of staff David McLaughlin and former Liberal campaign co-chair David Herle discuss how much of a threat the instability in Conservative caucus is to Pierre Poilievre's leadership.

Another blow to Pierre Poilievre's Conservatives, as longtime Alberta MP Matt Jeneroux announces his resignation. What does this mean for PM Mark Carney's minority government (and the Official Opposition CPC) moving forward?

Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer discuss a tumultuous week in Canadian politics with the Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre facing scrutiny after a Conservative MP crossed the floor to the Liberals and another one abruptly resigned. They also cover what it could mean for Prime Minister Mark Carney's government as well as the potential risks to national unity. In the second half, they shift the discussion to Zohran Mamdani's landslide victory in New York City's mayoral race, and how his radical progressive platform represents a potent new political force that conservatives must reckon with. They also examine what lessons Canadian politicians should draw from his success in appealing to educated professionals struggling with cost-of-living pressures.

In this episode of The Line Podcast, recorded on November 7, 2025, Matt Gurney and Jen Gerson react to a remarkably busy week in Canadian politics.This episode of The Line Podcast is brought to you by Forestry For The Future. Canada's housing crisis demands bold, scalable solutions. Build Canada Homes is an opportunity to leverage Canadian wood in modern construction. Wood-based methods like mass timber and modular construction can significantly reduce build times, waste, and carbon emissions, while supporting local economies. Expanding building codes, streamlining approvals, and prioritizing domestic wood in federal projects could double demand and foster job creation in rural and northern communities.Despite trade challenges and market volatility, a partnership between industry and government is vital to stabilize the sector, enhance competitiveness, and deliver innovative, sustainably sourced Canadian wood products for homes across Canada and abroad. With capacity growing across provinces, stable demand and predictable financing are key to unlocking the sector's potential.We need to Build Canada Homes with Canadian wood. To learn more, visit ForestryForTheFuture.ca.They start with the Mark Carney government. Matt's self-imposed six-month grace period for judging the new prime minister has expired, and he's ready to weigh in: better than Trudeau, but not good enough for the moment. Jen is slightly more patient but, somehow, even sharper in her take — especially when it comes to Carney's recent apology to Donald Trump, which she finds baffling and unnecessary. And enraging.This episode is also brought to you by CPA Ontario. There's a saying: “Keep it simple,” and what's true for life is true for taxes. And while this week's historic federal budget introduced some much-needed tax measures to help spur investment and innovation, there is still more work to be done to make Canada's tax system less complex, and more competitive.  Just ask a CPA. In a recent survey, 84 per cent of Ontario CPAs said Canada's tax system is overly complex. They know how complexity drains resources from productive activity, and how high tax rates discourage investment and entrepreneurship, the very things Canada needs. Consider the numbers: real GDP per capita has barely grown in seven years and investment per worker in Canada is less than half that of the U.S.Complexity has a cost, and Canadians are paying it. Our sponsor, CPA Ontario, the regulator of over 105,000 Chartered Professional Accountants, has released a report putting forward 20 bold, practical recommendations to reform Canada's tax system, and simplify the Income Tax Act. The 2025 Budget was a step forward — but more reform is needed to grow the economy, create jobs, and raise living standards.Learn more at cpaontario.ca/taxreformThen attention turns to the Conservatives, where Pierre Poilievre's week has gone from bad to worse. Two MPs have walked away, and the question now is whether this is an isolated hiccup or the start of a real leadership problem. Matt and Jen point out that without the wind of inevitable victory at his back, Poilievre will need to rely on charm and political skill — qualities not generally considered his strong suit.The episode wraps with a wide-ranging discussion on what “woke” and “feminism” actually mean in 2025, and how those words have evolved. Jen is workshopping a new column on the topic, and Matt is clearly looking forward to reading it. All that and more in the latest episode of The Line Podcast.

Conservative MP Matt Jeneroux announces his resignation as cracks in Pierre Poilievre's Conservative caucus continue; The shutdown of the U.S. government may soon impact Canadian travellers as American cities slash airline capacity; The reaction after the Supreme Court of Canada dismissed a B.C. ostrich farm's appeal to save its flock from being culled.

In a week filled with intense political upheaval, the landscape has never been more charged. From the chaos within Pierre Poilievre's Caucus to Ontario Premier Ford's lurid StripperGate Scandal, to Alberta's Premier Smith clinging to the victim narrative, and the undeniable fallout of Trump's MAGA movement in America—this is the moment to engage with the pressing issues of our time. Not to mention, Zohan Mamdani has taken NYC by storm, and the implications are profound. Is the angry populist moment finally ending? Can politics return to serving the people and promoting prosperity for all? Is democracy making a comeback as we prepare for Remembrance Day? Join the Scandal Panel with Keith Leslie, Mark Cripps, and host Laura Babcock as they deliver scorching hot takes and insightful analysis that you won't want to miss.

Budget day brought a political shock, and a clearer indication of where Prime Minister Mark Carney plans to take the government. The shock—a floor crossing. MP Chris d'Entremont left the Conservatives to join the Liberals, saying Pierre Poilievre's leadership style is too negative. And d'Entremont has hinted he may be the first, but won't be the last. We'll have that, and also reaction from small business owners, and a deeper look at what the Carney government is proposing for immigration levels in Canada.Also: The U.S. Supreme Court hears arguments about whether President Donald Trump's tariffs are legal.And: Assassination is shockingly commonplace in Mexico. We'll bring you the story of the killing of mayor Carlos Manzo, known for his outspoken opposition to drug cartels and organized crime.Plus: The tragedy unfolding in El Fasher, Sudan; Democrats win key U.S. races, and more.

Mark Carney's first federal budget is out, and it's a bold statement from a Prime Minister trying to prove he's not just the banker-in-chief, but a nation-builder with a plan. Billions are flowing into housing, clean energy, and industry, but does any of this actually benefit Alberta? Is Budget 2025 economic vision — or political survival disguised as one? 4:30 | We set the table by hearing from opposition party leaders Pierre Poilievre, Yves-François Blanchet, and Don Davies. 12:00 | What does this budget do to address economic lags, troubling regional trends, and Canada's housing crunch?

Mark Carney's Liberal government tabled what it called its ‘generational' budget on Tuesday, promising a mix of spending and cuts and booking a big budget deficit. So far, the Conservatives and Bloc Québécois look set to vote it down. The New Democrats are on the fence.But the drama of budget day was punctuated by the defection of Nova Scotia MP Chris d'Entremont from the Conservatives to the Liberals. He might not be the only one to cross the floor as rumours fly. What does it mean for the fate of the government, Pierre Poilievre's leadership and the potential for a snap election?We had good reason to delay this week's episode of The Numbers until after the budget so we could break down all the latest drama — because there's quite a bit of it! We also discuss the state of the NDP leadership race and some new provincial polling out of Ontario, British Columbia and Alberta, as well as the results of the mayoral elections in Quebec and the territorial vote in Yukon.CORRECTION: In Philippe's Number of the Week, he said 85% when he meant 75%.Looking for even more of The Numbers?

In this episode of Hub Politics, host Sean Speer is joined by Amanda Galbraith, co-founder and president of Oyster Group, and David Coletto, founder and CEO of Abacus Data, to discuss the Carney government's first budget and the dramatic floor-crossing that overshadowed its release. They debate whether the budget's focus on macroeconomic growth and productivity over immediate household relief was the right approach. They then examined the political bombshell of former Conservative MP Chris d'Entremont's crossing the floor to the Liberals, potentially putting them within reach of a majority government. They explore what this new development means for both Carney's governing prospects and Pierre Poilievre's leadership of the Conservative Party.

The Herle Burly was created by Air Quotes Media with support from our presenting sponsor TELUS, as well as CN Rail, PSAC, and the Canadian Nuclear Isotope Council.Greetings, you curiouser and curiouser Herle Burly-ites. Remember about 15 years ago, when the publicly-troubled-at-the-time actor Charlie Sheen went viral for invoking the word “WINNING!” all over the place and in some pretty odd ways. Even when he wasn't winning.Charlie's past that now. But let me submit our guest today has full rights to that word: Veteran PC and Conservative Party campaign manager, Steve Outhouse. He managed Premier Tony Wakeham's majority winning campaign just a couple of weeks ago in Newfoundland. As well as Premier Smith's UCP majority victory in Alberta.Steve hails from Freeport, Long Island in southwest Nova Scotia. He worked in various comms roles in the Harper government before moving on to helm 3 federal CPC Leadership campaigns, as well as provincial leadership campaigns in Nova Scotia, PEI and the aforementioned Newfoundland and Labrador. He's the founder of the “Just Campaigns” consultancy and says he's “a bad business person”, but winning elections isn't exactly bad for business. We'll talk today a little more about Steve's background about what animates his political life. Then we'll do a deep dive into modern campaign mechanics: What works today? What doesn't? I want his thoughts on “hot button” issues and how best to use them. Then, and this particularly relevant because he was Chief of Staff to Pierre Poilievre prior to 2015, what advice would Steve give to the federal Conservatives?Thank you for joining us on #TheHerleBurly podcast.

Donald Trump has terminated the trade talks with Canada after Ontario ads running in the U.S. use Ronald Reagan's voice condemning tariffs. Is this serious or just Trump bluster?  Meanwhile, the Carney government's first budget is now just days away, and the PM says Canadians will need to make sacrifices. And, Pierre Poilievre has another bad week. All this and more with Chantal Hebert and Bruce Anderson. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Last week, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre made comments about the RCMP being “despicable” on a YouTube show, accusing them of “covering up” for former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. This sparked backlash from opposition parties as well as Conservatives, and earlier this week, Poilievre walked those comments back, explaining that he meant to direct his comments towards the former RCMP commissioner. Between his YouTube appearance and some recent social media activity, Globe opinion columnist Robyn Urback wonders: is Pierre Poilievre okay?Today, Robyn is on the show to try to unpack what Poilievre has been saying, and what all this could signal about the future of his leadership — and the state of the Conservative Party.Questions? Comments? Ideas? Email us at thedecibel@globeandmail.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

Members of Pierrre Poilievre's own party are criticizing his recent comments about the RCMP covering up Liberal scandals.And: Prime Minister Mark Carney meets with opposition leaders to talk about the upcoming budget. He'll need some support to get it passed, once it's presented on November 4th. He hasn't given many details, but is calling it a “generational budget." Opposition leader Pierre Poilievre says Carney is out of touch with what Canadians need right now — relief on the cost of living.Also: As Blue Jays fans try to get tickets to the upcoming World Series, they're also asking why they are so expensive, especially once they hit the resale sites.Plus: Rutte in Washington to talk Ukraine, Fintrac fines crypto exchange $177 million, what Trump is pushing for in Venezuela, and more.

Radio-Canada's Laurence Martin explains what she heard from five Conservative caucus members who feel Pierre Poilievre is not projecting an image befitting a prime minister following his comments last week that RCMP leadership is 'despicable.' Then, Conservative deputy leader Melissa Lantsman defends Poilievre's denial that he suggested former prime minister Justin Trudeau should go to jail, despite Poilievre saying last week that Trudeau 'would have been criminally charged' if the RCMP didn't cover up for him.

Rudyard and Andrew begin with the war in Ukraine and Trump denying Zelensky's request for Tomahawk long range missiles. Russia has suffered mass casualties - more than 400,000 dead and many more wounded - and shows no signs of weakening Ukraine's resolve, and yet all it takes is one phone call from Putin for Trump to reverse track and breathe new life into Russia's war effort. Trump's fickle support begs an important question: What can we do to strengthen ties with allies and even adversaries to protect ourselves from instability south of the border? In the second half of the show Rudyard and Andrew turn to a bombshell accusation from Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre that the RCMP covered up crimes committed by Justin Trudeau. This is an irresponsible accusation that suggests Poilievre is not leadership material. And while his behaviour plays well to the party's base, it spooks moderate Conservatives. How can any leader straddle this cultural divide?

Journalists hear lots of things in the course of a day on Parliament Hill, and then they work towards trying to nail things down. What's real, what isn't? On the latest edition of Reporter's Notebook Rob Russo and Althia Raj talk about it all from Mark Carney and Pierre Poilievre to trade talks and a possible cabinet shuffle.

Nobody within Pierre Poilievre's Conservative caucus has publicly broken ranks with the leader, but calls for a change at the top of the party were given voice last week by Dimitri Soudas, a top aide to former Conservative prime minister Stephen Harper. Is it a sign that Poilievre's leadership of the party is more fragile than was previously thought, or are Soudas's criticisms those of a former Conservative who no longer represents today's version of the party? And what do the numbers say about the strength of Poilievre's leadership?This week on The Numbers, we discuss where things stand for Poilievre and the Conservatives. We also take a look at some more polling numbers on the Canada-U.S. relationship (and the Carney-Trump relationship). Plus, we have provincial polls out of Ontario, Quebec and British Columbia, as well as some mayoral results in Calgary and Edmonton. How did the polls do in these two big cities?Looking for even more of The Numbers?

Elias Makos kicks the week off with Trudie Mason, veteran Newscaster here at CJAD 800, and Akil Alleyne, Reporter and commentator with extensive experience analysing legal, political, and social issues and Manager of the GemStar Circle of Excellence Scholarship Program. As we approach the 30th anniversary of the 1995 referendum, a new poll from Leger says close to two thirds of the population do not want Quebec to be independent. Yesterday was the 10-year anniversary of Justin Trudeau's big win. How’s the last decade gone for Canada? Are Trudeau’s Sunny Ways a distant memory? Former Stephen Harper aide and political commentator Dimitirs Soudas dropped a bomb on Pierre Poilievre saying Poilievre is actively dismantling the “principled and trustworthy” Conservative party that was built under Harper’s leadership.

Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree announced Friday that the Liberals are budgeting $617.7 million over five years to fulfill the campaign promise of 1,000 more Canada Border Services Agency officers. Anandasangaree says the increased staff will help stop illicit goods like fentanyl from crossing the border, but says he still rejects 'the notion that fentanyl is a problem going north to south.' Plus, Power & Politics' party insiders discuss the potential political risks around Pierre Poilievre's controversial comments about RCMP leadership.

In this episode, Alex speaks with political researcher Sam Routley about how conservatism is changing in Canada. Drawing on his article “Decoding Canada's Conservative Coalition” published in The Hub, Routley explains why Canada's conservative movement has remained more stable than those in other Western democracies, where right-wing politics have undergone dramatic upheavals. They discuss the historical roots of Canada's “fusionist” conservatism, the economic and cultural shifts driving new tensions between working-class and knowledge-economy voters, and how Pierre Poilievre's brand of populism fits within Canada's longstanding political traditions.  References: DeepDive: Decoding Canada's Conservative coalition — Sam Routley (The Hub) https://thehub.ca/2025/09/27/deepdive-decoding-canadas-conservative-coalition/ The Hub Sam Routley — Author Page (The Hub) https://thehub.ca/author/samroutley/ The Hub Stephen Harper embraced pragmatic, incremental change.
