A new poll in the United States has Americans being told that there's a real chill from Canadians about their southern neighbours, and the word "hate" is used. Feelings are strong, but that strong? Bruce and Chantal on that, plus Alberta calls for a referendum on October 19th, but no question yet on separation. Plus more on leadership challenges for the Conservatives and the NDP.

Prime Minister Mark Carney and the Liberals welcomed a third Conservative floor crosser on Wednesday – Edmonton MP Matt Jeneroux. And with three by-elections coming up, two from Liberal strongholds, a Liberal majority is looking like a possibility. So a pretty seismic day on Parliament Hill. CBC's senior writer Aaron Wherry is here to talk through how this could all play out for the Liberals and for Pierre Poilievre's Conservative Party. For transcripts of Front Burner, please visit: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/frontburner/transcripts
Matt Jeneroux is now a Liberal. The ex-Conservative MP switched sides in a surprise move that puts the Carney government closer to a majority. Jeneroux said last year he was quitting politics to spend more time with family. He's now a special adviser on economic and security partnerships. Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre called Jeneroux's flip a betrayal to his Edmonton Riverbend voters.Also: Canadian military veterans are furious over a proposed federal bill that would retroactively change the way their benefits are calculated. The government's measure would effectively kill lawsuits alleging it has been underpaying and overcharging vets for decades, saving the federal government millions of dollars. Ottawa argues it can retroactively change laws at any time.And: How measles may put a damper on your upcoming March Break plans.Plus: Addressing Canada's labour gaps, Norway's Olympic golden boy, Bobsledders ‘drag' their hockey counterparts, and more.
Jamil Jivani says Canada's shooting itself in the foot with an "anti-American hissy fit." The Conservative MP made the comments to right wing outlet Breitbart after meeting with his college pal (and current US vice-president) JD Vance and President Donald Trump during a solo mission to D.C. earlier this month. Supriya Dwivedi tells us how she thinks Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre should respond to the Jivani situation (26:20) in our feature interview presented by Mercedes-Benz Edmonton West. THIS EPISODE IS PRESENTED BY HANSEN DISTILLERY. HANSEN IS WISHING CANADA'S ATHLETES BEST OF LUCK AT THE 2026 OLYMPIC WINTER GAMES. RAISE A GLASS TO TEAM CANADA: https://hansendistillery.com/ 3:00 | We lead with Tumbler Ridge, BC, where Prime Minister Mark Carney and Opposition Leader Pierre Poilievre joined hundreds of mourners in person (and millions more across the country), offering a commitment to support town residents over the long term.

Dans cette ville du département de l'Artibonite, les infrastructures publiques sont laissées à l'abandon. Pour tenter d'enrayer leur dégradation, les associations, soutenues par la diaspora prennent en charge les travaux. La Patrie en danger, une organisation de citoyens des Gonaïves vivant à l'étranger, a lancé l'année dernière (2025) des travaux de réaménagement de la Place d'Armes des Gonaïves. Ce lieu revêt une importance symbolique majeure dans l'histoire nationale : c'est là que les héros de l'armée indigène ont proclamé l'indépendance d'Haïti, le 1er janvier 1804. Plus récemment, un autre groupe de citoyens a entrepris la réhabilitation d'un terrain de football de la ville. Ce terrain est notamment utilisé durant les vacances estivales pour l'organisation de compétitions de football interquartiers, très prisées par la jeunesse locale. Ces chantiers n'ont bénéficié d'aucun support financier de la part des autorités locales. Un reportage de notre correspondant à Port-au-Prince, Ronel Paul. La peur de l'embrasement nucléaire Aux États-Unis, la presse revient sur l'expiration de New Start, le dernier traité qui encadrait les arsenaux nucléaires états-uniens et russes. C'était dans la nuit du 4 au 5 février 2026. « Le traité New Start n'était pas un remède miracle, mais il a contribué à la sécurité du monde », estime le sénateur démocrate Mark Kelly dans le Washington Post. « Si vous voulez la paix, ne perdez pas la course à l'armement nucléaire », rétorque son collègue républicain Mark Cotton dans le Wall Street Journal. Le New York Times, de son côté, lance l'alerte : « Donald Trump risque de déclencher un incendie nucléaire ». « Plutôt que de préserver la stabilité qui règne depuis un demi-siècle, l'administration envisage de déployer plus d'armes nucléaires et, peut-être de manière plus imprudente, la reprise des essais nucléaires souterrains », écrit le quotidien. Alors, comme souvent face à la politique de Donald Trump, il en appelle au Congrès : « À une époque où les tensions s'intensifient et les traités se délitent, laisser le sort du monde entre les mains d'une seule personne, quelle qu'elle soit, est un risque qu'aucune démocratie ne devrait tolérer. » Vers un abaissement de l'âge de la responsabilité pénale en Argentine En Argentine, les députés ont voté jeudi dernier (12 février) en faveur de l'abaissement de l'âge de la responsabilité pénale. Elle passe de 16 à 14 ans. Pour Jimena Villareal, ce projet de loi est parfaitement absurde. Elle aurait pourtant toutes les raisons d'y être favorables. Il y a deux ans, le 29 février 2024, son mari a été tué par deux ados de 17 et 14 ans qui voulaient lui voler sa moto. Mais Jimena, que Pagina12 a rencontrée, connaît la réalité des choses. Elle est psychologue, spécialisée dans l'enfance et l'adolescence. Elle a travaillé dans des quartiers populaires. Et elle en est persuadée : « Personne ne devient un meurtrier comme ça, d'un coup. C'est la conséquence d'un long processus marqué par l'abandon. Ceux qui vont aller en prison sont tous pauvres. Ils seront placés dans une institution où on les oubliera jusqu'à ce qu'ils en ressortent. » Ce qui met aussi en colère Jimena, c'est le budget prévu pour financer les futurs centres de détention : plus de 23 milliards de pesos – l'équivalent de 14 millions d'euros. « Ce serait formidable, dit-elle, qu'ils investissent cet argent dans des lieux où ces enfants pourraient trouver de l'humanité, plutôt que dans des prisons où ils deviendront de vrais criminels. » Tumbler Ridge aspire à retrouver une vie normale Au Canada, la petite ville de Tumbler Ridge, en Colombie britannique, panse ses plaies. Cette bourgade sans histoire s'est retrouvée au cœur de l'actualité après une fusillade dans un lycée. Cinq élèves et un professeur tués par une jeune femme de 18 ans qui s'est donné la mort. C'était mardi dernier. (10 février 2026) Aux États-Unis, ces tueries de masse sont malheureusement fréquentes. Mais de ce côté-ci de la frontière, c'est tout le contraire. Si bien que tout d'un coup, Tumbler Ridge a vu affluer des enquêteurs, des journalistes, des bénévoles d'une église évangélique... Tant de monde que les restaurants et les cafés se sont vite retrouvés débordés. Le point culminant, ç'a été vendredi, quand les politiques sont venus au chevet de la ville meurtrie. Le Premier ministre Mark Carney, le chef de l'opposition Pierre Poilievre... Le lendemain, tout le monde était parti. À part quelques reporters, dont celle du Globe and Mail qui nous raconte comment, après le choc, Tumbler Ridge tente aujourd'hui de retrouver une vie normale. Le célébrissime carnaval de Rio commence ce lundi (16 février 2026) au Brésil. Une semaine de fêtes qui, chaque année, font l'objet de tentatives de récupération par le pouvoir. Des tentatives malvenues, d'autant que le carnaval est lui aussi un reflet des appétits commerciaux et des inégalités très fortes qui fracturent le Brésil. Un reportage de notre correspondante à Rio de Janeiro, Sarah Cozzolino.

SHOW SCHEDULE 2-13-20261909 BENGAL1.Jeff Bliss discusses Governor Newsom's mixed popularity in California, highlighting failures in housing affordability, rising homelessness, and the costly, delayed high-speed rail project undermining his national ambitions.2.Jeff Bliss reports on Las Vegas's growth as Californians relocate there, the continued success of In-N-Out Burger, and the irony of California's beautiful weather amidst persistent economic troubles.3.Jeff Bliss and Brandon Weichert debate the AI boom, predicting a market correction followed by a second wave where robotics and AI integration fundamentally transform the global economy.4.Conrad Black reflects on former Prime Minister Stephen Harper's conservative achievements and analyzes current leader Pierre Poilievre's similar but more comprehensive vision to rescue Canada's stagnating economy.5.Veronique de Rugy of the Mercatus Center analyzes tensions between the President and the Federal Reserve, warning against fiscal dominance where political pressure regarding debt forces the Fed to lower rates.6.Jim McTague describes Lancaster County's freezing tundra weather, inflation impacting Valentine's Day sales, and a significant financial windfall for local government from a new data center.7.Michael Munger reviews George Selgin's book False Dawn, arguing that regime uncertainty from FDR's arbitrary New Deal policies hindered investment and actually prolonged the Great Depression.8.Michael Munger explains how post-WWII economic recovery defied Keynesian predictions of doom due to the removal of government controls and a massive release of pent-up consumer demand.9.Josh Rogin discusses the trade conflict between the US and India, noting that tariffs were used as leverage regarding Russian oil and Modi's diplomatic de-risking from Washington.10.Josh Rogin analyzes the reopening of trade between Washington and Delhi, suggesting India is returning to a non-aligned strategy despite improved relations and adjusted tariff rates.11.Bill Roggio and Caleb Weiss of the Long War Journal discuss a sophisticated Islamic State drone attack on an airfield in Niger, highlighting security failures by the Russian Africa Corps that replaced US forces.12.Bill Roggio and Caleb Weiss provide updates on Somalia including relative success against Al-Shabaab leadership, while reports confirm Russian deceptive recruitment of Africans for the war in Ukraine.13.Henry Sokolski of the Nonproliferation Policy Education Center analyzes the crumbling Non-Proliferation Treaty, citing Iran's inspection violations and China's nuclear expansion as critical challenges for the upcoming international review conference.14.Henry Sokolski critiques the chaotic government response to a balloon over El Paso, arguing the incident exposes dangerous coordination flaws in America's homeland security apparatus and interagency communication.15.Bob Zimmerman of Behind the Black contrasts SpaceX's routine success with ULA's technical struggles, attributing the booming private space sector and massive investments to a shift toward capitalist models.16.Bob Zimmerman covers ESA's fast-tracked Apophis asteroid mission, a commercial attempt to resÅcue a NASAtelescope, and the contrasting regulatory environments of the UK and New Zealand for space launches.Å

Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer discuss the growing likelihood of a spring federal election, specifically how President Trump's has transformed Canadian politics and created unprecedented advantages for Prime Minister Mark Carney over Pierre Poilievre. They explore why Conservative messaging has faltered on cross-border relations, as well as the strategic calculations driving potential election timing. In the episode's second half, they discuss AI's accelerating disruption of white-collar work, questioning who will sustain society economically and psychologically in our increasingly automated future.

Filling in for Stephen LeDrew, Former MPP and Broadcaster Peter Shurman speaks with former MP Michelle Ferreri about the growing speculation of a federal election and the state of Canadian politics.Ferreri argues that any election would be triggered by Mark Carney, not the Conservatives, and warns about the dangers of concentrated power and an erosion of parliamentary accountability. She also reflects on the Conservative convention in Calgary, Pierre Poilievre's leadership, and why affordability, food prices, and housing are dominating voter concerns.The conversation focuses on economic survival, public disorder, generational frustration, and why young Canadians are increasingly rejecting political narratives that ignore everyday reality.You can subscribe to Peter Shurman's Substack here - https://substack.com/@shurmanator Hosted on Acast.

With the polls showing a spike in support for the Liberals, speculation has also spiked about an early election. What do the polls say about whether Mark Carney's Liberals or Pierre Poilievre's Conservatives should want to head back on the campaign trail in 2026?This week on The Numbers, we break down the state of the federal race and discuss whether or not Carney's bump is an extension of his honeymoon or an entirely new thing. We also chat about the round of byelections that we can expect in the next few months and what they mean for both federal and Ontario politics. Plus, a new poll on Alberta independence shows some stark divides in the province that complicate things for Danielle Smith (and Poilievre).Looking for even more of The Numbers?

In this episode of Hub Politics, 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 Pierre Poilievre's resounding leadership review victory and the Conservative convention's strategic messaging. They analyze Poilievre's focus on affordability over Trump, the significance of the 20th anniversary of Stephen Harper's first election win, and new Abacus Data polling revealing widespread Canadian nostalgia for the 1950s. They then explore emerging political risks around artificial intelligence and job displacement, questioning whether the Carney government's embrace of AI is a vulnerability.

In this podcast, Kushal speaks with Darshan Maharaja and Kirk Lubimov about the recent news report where "seven Toronto police officers and a retired officer have been charged in a sprawling corruption and organised crime probe that police say links insiders to fentanyl and cocaine trafficking, extortion, multiple shootings — and an alleged conspiracy to commit murder." They also discuss the Conservative Party convention, where Pierre Poilievre was elected unopposed as the party's leader. They also discuss the ongoing tension between Canada and the USA regarding CUSMA renegotiations.

Not even a week after Pierre Poilievre's resounding victory at the leadership review vote in Calgary, the Conservative leader found himself struggling. Why? Because he seemed offside on strategy with the often referred to "Godfather" of his party, Stephen Harper. That and a lot more Good Talk with Chantel Hebert and Bruce Anderson. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.
Poilievre's landslide victory at his leadership review raises questions about the flurry of coverage about his political demise only months ago. Why was there such a disconnect? With Carney riding high, and Poilievre's likeability still a concern, Conservatives are betting on the long game (and hoping to avoid a spring election.)
