On the latest OShow POWERCAST, featuring Charlie Angus and Meidas Canada, host Laura Babcock delves into the crucial threats to Canadian sovereignty posed by the increasingly authoritarian Trump regime, alongside Charlie. Consider the implications of the cancellation of an 80-year USA-Canada defence board and mounting allegations linking the US Ambassador to the Alberta separatist cause and the shocking data breach affecting 3 million voters (allegations he denies) As if that weren't enough, Trump has taken a staggering $1.776 billion from taxpayers to fund his private army of January 6th insurrectionists, putting Americans and Canadians in a precarious position. This isn't just political commentary; it's a call to action. Charlie and Laura aren't holding back in their critique of Danielle Smith, Pierre Poilievre, and Ambassador Hoekstra in this fast-paced episode centred on anti-fascism. They ask if PM Mark Carney is doing enough to address the separatist threat. Our democracy is under threat, and we must stand together for Canada. Now is the time to unite and push back against these dangers. Share, like, hype and comment—your voice matters! Together, we can safeguard our democratic values and ensure a brighter future for everyone in Canada.

Stephen LeDrew speaks with John Capobianco, “bigshot conservative” and political strategist, about the growing divide between what Ottawa says — and what Canadians are experiencing.While the government highlights progress on affordability, trade, and economic policy, many Canadians are facing rising costs for gas, groceries, rent, and everyday essentials.Capobianco argues that there are now two Canadas — one driven by political messaging and optimism, and another where families are struggling to make ends meet.He also points out that many of the issues now being addressed — particularly affordability and cost of living — were first raised by Pierre Poilievre, forcing the political conversation to shift.With Mark Carney leading a majority government, expectations are higher than ever — and the pressure is now on to deliver real results, not just promises.The question becomes: will Canadians see change — or more of the same?Three Minutes. Direct. Unfiltered. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

There's a multibillion-dollar plan for high-speed rail in central Canada, and it's facing stiff opposition from many of those who would be affected locally.

Ep 602 - British Columbia Conservative Leadership Candidate Guest: Kerry-Lynne Findlay By Stuart McNish   Former Surrey MP Kerry-Lynne Findlay has put her name forward as a candidate for the leadership of the Conservative Party of British Columbia. Her campaign makes it clear: Findlay is a Conservative. Her website says, “BC Liberal insiders are trying to take over the Conservative Party of BC. The liberals want to steal the Conservative name… and push the same hidden liberal agenda.”    Findlay lays out the differences between liberals and conservatives saying, “BC Liberals voted for DRIPA. BC Liberals created SOGI in schools. BC Liberals created the carbon tax. And the BC Liberals voted to condemn and smear the Freedom Convoy. Let me be clear: Liberals are not taking over our Conservative Party. Not on my watch.”   Findlay served in cabinet in Stephen Harper's government and was the chief opposition Whip under the leadership of Pierre Poilievre. She says as leader she will unite the party and put forward an election platform in keeping with Conservative views.   We invited Kerry-Lynne Findlay, Conservative Party of BC leadership candidate, to join us for a Conversation That Matters about her vision for the party and the province of BC.    You can see the interview here https://www.conversationsthatmatter.ca/ Learn More about our guests career at careersthatmatter.ca

In today's episode of The Line Podcast, recorded on May 8, 2026, your hosts rush through the recording so they can hang up and go focus on what really matters — today's UFO document dump!Kidding. But it is a short episode, because Jen Gerson is travelling this week. She's in Ottawa, attending not one but two conferences. She reports back on the vibe from Ottawa, including her thoughts on a speech given by Pierre Poilievre, leader of the Conservatives. She notes that the man is much better at rebranding than at changing. They also discuss why Mark Carney and the Liberals are struggling to change, too — the choice of Louise Arbour as our next governor general isn't bad, the hosts agree. Not exactly. But it is a worrying sign of what Matt identifies as path dependency — Arbour is a very old-fashioned move by a government that, at least in terms of what they're saying, understands this country is in deep trouble, and needs to move fast to prepare for a new normal.This episode of The Line Podcast is brought to you by Electro-Federation Canada. Canada's clean electricity grid gives us a competitive edge in attracting global investment — but to maintain that advantage our system needs to break down barriers and unlock the grid. Aging infrastructure, supply chain constraints, and outdated regulations threaten our ability to expand and modernize the grid — essential components of meeting future capacity needs. Electro-Federation Canada has developed a research-backed roadmap for grid readiness focused on smart policy and regulatory alignment. To learn more, visit MakeTheSwitch.ElectroFed.com.Next, your hosts chat about the latest from Alberta. Even though she's been in Ottawa all week, Jen can't quite escape the unfolding story about the data breach. She updates everyone on the latest. Matt also notes that he's been asking for months where provincial NDP leader Naheed Nenshi has been. Well. Seems like we found him! Jen also offers a word of warning about believing the polls. That way, she says, only complacency lies. This episode of The Line Podcast is also brought to you by Dominion Dynamics. Canada has never had true sovereign awareness of our North. Vast parts of our country are a blind spot. And when you can't see your own territory, you can't defend it, secure it, or respond when threats emerge. Dominion Dynamics is changing that. Dominion Dynamics is building a sovereign command and control capability that lets Canada and its allies see, respond, and defend across every domain. Dominion is starting in the Arctic, where extreme conditions demand technology no one else can deliver.Defend the Dominion. Dominion Dynamics.Learn more at DefendTheDominion.com.After that, with Jen needing to bolt back to her next conference event, Matt tells her about some funny reaction he's been getting to a column he wrote this week for the Toronto Star. He's a bit worried that we have normalized dysfunction in this country to a point where we are starting to see parts of it as heartwarming, not alarming — a perfect real-world example of the "orphan crushing machine" internet meme. (He explains, don't worry.) Jen notes that she's seeing a lot of that herself on her visit to the capital. It's looking a little bedraggled.All that, and more, in the latest episode of The Line Podcast.(Note for video viewers: please forgive the video issues with Jen's feed late in the third segment — we were at the mercy of hotel wifi.)#thelinepodcast #CanadianPolitics #AlbertaPolitics #DataBreach #NaheedNenshi#CanadaUSRelations #UFOs #CurrentAffairs

Mark Carney's Liberals are still holding a lead in the polls over Pierre Poilievre and the Conservatives, thanks in large part to their increased support among older Canadians. But are the Liberals also out-polling the Conservatives among younger voters? And, if so, what does that mean for the New Democrats and their new leader, Avi Lewis?This week on The Numbers, we take a dive into some of the latest federal polls. We also break down new fundraising numbers and discuss the ongoing Conservative leadership race (and provincial voting intentions) in British Columbia. We then close with a prime ministerial Quiz.Looking for even more of The Numbers?

Why falling on hard times can happen to anyone. Pierre Poilievre and Bernie Sanders make similar comparisons, with very different answers. GUEST: Preet Banerjee - founder of MoneyGaps.com

Millions of Albertans have been betrayed by bad actors fighting for separation. A major data breach involving Alberta's voter registry is raising serious questions about privacy, security, and political extremism. Reports suggest a separatist group may have accessed and distributed sensitive personal information, potentially putting thousands of Albertans at risk. How did this happen, who's responsible, and what are the consequences for public trust in our democracy? We break it down with Supriya Dwivedi (4:30) in our feature interview presented by Mercedes-Benz Edmonton West.  THIS EPISODE IS PRESENTED BY RapidEX FINANCIAL.

This past week, we've learned that NDP MP Alexandre Boulerice and Liberal MP Jonathan Wilkinson will be vacating their seats in the coming months. Nate Erskine-Smith is also promising to resign his seat once he makes his bid for the Ontario Liberal leadership (and a provincial nomination) official. These trio of byelections, whenever they are called, will prove to be stiff tests for Mark Carney, Pierre Poilievre and Avi Lewis.This week on The Numbers, we break down what will be at stake in these three contests and discuss how they might play out on the electoral calendar. We also look at new polls that suggest Doug Ford might be in trouble in Ontario, as well as some new voting and independence numbers out of Alberta.

The Davos speech, the tariff profile, and now the Canada Strong Fund. It's been a busy year for Mark Carney since being elected as Canada's 24th Prime Minister this day last year, and as Canadians face tough economic and geopolitical uncertainty, we're taking a look back at how Carney has managed to bring the country together through some of the year's - and Canada's - rockiest moments. Host Caryn Ceolin speaks to journalist and host of The Paikin Podcast, Steve Paikin, to discuss how Carney's tenure so far has changed Canada's global profile, how much of a difference he's made in strengthening the domestic economy, and how his work will be perceived in a post-Trump world.

In the latest episode of The Line Podcast, recorded on April 24th, 2026, Matt Gurney and Jen Gerson open with a plug for their ongoing fundraiser. Day three is off to a great start, but we haven't hit our target yet. If you can help us out, please go here. Every dollar counts. The Line accepts no bailouts and no subsidies, and competes against much larger outlets that have gladly (or even reluctantly) taken the government money. We need your help to compete. Please give what you can by going to Donorbox.org/hold-the-line-928062.Having gotten the telethon out of the way, for the rest of the segment, they run through the latest developments in the Canada–U.S. trade dispute. Jen wonders why there's suddenly so much activity, and Matt offers a surprisingly mundane answer: we're running out of time before the deal runs out. They assess the credibility of both sides in the negotiations and, in a move that may frustrate some listeners, also take a look at comments made by Pierre Poilievre this week. Jen suggests he's living in a fantasy, and Matt explains what he thinks he's doing when he attacks Mark Carney for not wanting a deal. Matt broadens the lens to include the opposition in the United States as well, and warns that if Canada's strategy is simply to rag the puck until the midterms, it may be time to rethink the plan. The Democrats may be more predictable, but they're not necessarily going to be much friendlier on the trade front. Trump, and MAGA, have moved the needle on that one. Probably for a generation.Next, Jen discusses her latest column, which leads to a longer conversation about Canadian complacency and the difficulty of reforming a country that places such a high premium on avoiding hurt feelings. Matt notes that her argument aligns closely not only with his recent writing on the collapse of Canadian accountability, but also with something he wrote years ago — a piece about expectations, and how they can be a problem.They wrap up with a quick, and somewhat frustrated, update from their respective home provinces. As Matt puts it, we're not sending our best.All that and more in the latest episode of The Line Podcast.

Amanda Galbraith, co-founder and president of Oyster Group, and David Coletto, founder and chair of Abacus Data, join Sean Speer to discuss Prime Minister Mark Carney's "Forward Guidance" video and Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre's competing video. They analyze Carney's approach and whether his technocratic style serves as a political strength, as well as Poilievre's strategic challenges in balancing his base with broader appeal.In the second half, they explore the political risks surrounding Canada-U.S. free trade negotiations, questioning whether Carney should pursue a quick deal or slow-walk the process.If you are enjoying the free version of Hub Politics, subscribe to become a Hub Hero or Fellow to access the full version every week: https://thehub.ca/join/The Hub is Canada's fastest growing independent digital news outlet.Subscribe to The Hub's podcast feed to get our best content when you are on the go:https://tinyurl.com/3a7zpd7e (Apple)https://tinyurl.com/y8akmfn7 (Spotify)Follow The Hub on X: https://x.com/thehubcanada?lang=enCREDITS:Amal Attar-Guzman - ProducerAlisha Rao - EditorSean Speer - Host Hosted on Acast.

With a majority government now in place, Mark Carney isn't likely to head back to the polls anytime soon. That gives Pierre Poilievre time to catch his breath — and catch up to the Liberals. But is the extra time he now has ahead of him as Conservative leader a positive or a negative?This week on The Numbers, we discuss some new poll numbers that suggest Conservative voters might be souring a little on the party's leader. We also take a look at the national polling scene and break down some new numbers out of Quebec. We then close with a Quiz.Looking for even more of The Numbers?

Welcome back to another episode of the Couple Casuals Podcast!In this episode, Stefano sits down with Alex Glikman — political commentator and host of The Alex Glikman Show — for a raw, unfiltered conversation on culture, politics, and the future of Canada.Alex shares his journey from immigrating to Canada from Russia to building a platform where he speaks openly on today's biggest issues. From personal growth and discipline to the responsibility that comes with having a voice online, this episode goes far beyond surface-level conversation.The discussion dives deep into global conflict, including the Russia–Ukraine war, and how lived experience shapes Alex's perspective on politics, leadership, and national identity.From there, the conversation shifts into Canadian politics — breaking down the Trudeau era, the rise of Mark Carney, and why many Canadians feel disconnected from what's actually happening in the country. Throughout the episode, Stefano and Alex dive into:• Alex's upbringing in Russia and transition to Canada• the reality behind the Russia–Ukraine conflict and its human impact• how social media influence comes with real responsibility• the dangers of drugs, fast culture, and instant gratification• why Justin Trudeau sparked a new wave of political awareness• how media and PR shape Canadian elections and public opinion• Pierre Poilievre's campaign strengths — and where it fell short• the impact of emotional voting vs policy-based voting in Canada• concerns around long-term Liberal leadership and political dominance• the effects of immigration and generational voting patterns• rising cost of living, housing affordability, and economic pressure• why Canada risks becoming a “rich vs poor” country• government spending, foreign aid, and the strain on everyday Canadians• the role of media, narrative control, and political messaging• freedom of speech, culture shifts, and where society is headingAlex also gives his perspective on where Canada is going — and why many people feel the country is at a turning point politically, economically, and culturally.This is a real, honest conversation that challenges ideas, questions narratives, and pushes deeper thinking about what's happening in Canada today.Grab a casual, lock in, and let's get into it.Host: Stefano (stefo)Instagram: @drstefohttps://www.instagram.com/drstefo?igs...Guest: Alex GlikmanInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/alexgmanofficial?igsh=MXA3ZmFjcDhocjE1Yg==This episode is brought to you by Canada First — secure your home with Canada's best home fortification.

YouTube is now the pre-eminent TV channel for those watching television. And now it also stars the latest attempts by both Mark Carney and Pierre Poilievre to try to influence Canadians.

Almost two months ago, Pierre Poilievre seemed to have rounded a corner.  The "attack dog" politician became, or so it seemed, the friendly one, talking about respect and a time for unity.   Well those days are gone, long gone, after a week where the old Poilievre seemed back in full force.  Bruce and Chantal are back with their assessments of what all this means.

Prime Minister Mark Carney returns to the House of Commons with his newly-minted majority government. The Conservatives try to chart a new path forward with Pierre Poilievre as leader. And, could Canada really join the EU? Rosemary Barton hosts Chantal Hébert, Andrew Coyne and Althia Raj.

Remember the Epstein files? Those documents tied to one of the most disturbing, high-profile abuse scandals in modern history? The ones that were supposed to bring accountability, transparency, maybe even a little justice? Funny how they seem to keep…slipping out of focus. The Trump administration has been accused of doing its best to keep those files buried (or at least conveniently out of reach). And just when it felt like the story was fading for good, First Lady Melania Trump steps up to the mic with a press conference that raises more eyebrows than it answers questions. So, what's actually going on here? Who's being protected? And why does “sorry” seem to be the go-to response when accountability is nowhere to be found? Leah Eichler joins in our feature interview presented by Mercedes-Benz Edmonton West (6:00) to talk about her piece in The Globe and Mail.

After a fourth Conservative MP crossed over last week, the Liberals are now only one seat shy of an official majority. And with two out of three byelections taking place today in safe Liberal ridings, it's widely expected that Mark Carney and the Liberals will get their majority government after the results come in.Tonda MacCharles is the Toronto Star's Ottawa bureau chief. She's here to talk about the challenges facing Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre, whether he can keep his caucus in line, and if there's a case for pushing him out now.For transcripts of Front Burner, please visit: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/frontburner/transcripts

If the Liberals sweep the by-elections in Toronto and Terrebonne, QC - or even go two for three - there'll be no looking back for PM Mark Carney. Then, there's the possibility even more MPs could cross the floor to what would be a majority government. What's the likelihood it all plays out this way? We ask National Observer lead columnist Max Fawcett (4:15) in our feature interview presented by Mercedes-Benz Edmonton West.  THIS EPISODE IS PRESENTED BY RapidEX FINANCIAL.

Elections BC slaps BC United with a fine for election disinformation over the ‘Fire John Rustad’ campaign from August 2024. The BC Conservatives slap Peter Milobar with a fine for a late deposit. And the NDP kills George Anderson’s private members bill but does take some steps toward allowing more housing. Federally, Marilyn Gladu embraces the red and the finance minister continues Canada’s oldest tradition.

He's done it again: Prime Minister Mark Carney has convinced yet another Conservative to join his Liberal government. This time, it's Sarnia—Lambton—Bkejwanong MP Marilyn Gladu, who previously said she was "personally pro-life" and opposed a Liberal bill to ban conversion therapy. She's now recanting those positions as Carney insists Liberal values are unchanged.How does it work when the Liberals try to cajole a Tory to join them? Catherine Cullen sits down with the first Conservative MP who made the leap to the Liberals, Chris d'Entremont, and Kody Blois, one of the Liberals who wooed him to cross the floor, to find out how it happens. Then, poll analyst Philippe Fournier lays the ground for Monday's byelections, when Carney is expected to cement his majority in Parliament. And as the Liberals hold their policy convention in Montreal, Hill watchers Joël-Denis Bellavance and Nick Taylor-Vaisey discuss the dramatic week in Canadian politics and what Gladu's departure means for her former leader, Pierre Poilievre. Plus, this week US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said Canada-US trade negotiations could stretch past the July 1st deadline, and that there were “unresolved issues” with Canada. One of those irritants is the new Online Streaming Act, designed to make big streamers like Netflix and Disney pay to fund Canadian content the way that broadcasters do. CBC's Jennifer Chevalier explores whether the Online Streaming Act is worth fighting for – in the face of yet more tariff threats.This episode features the voices of:Chris d'Entremont, Liberal MP for Acadie—AnnapolisKody Blois, Liberal MP for Kings—HantsPhilippe Fournier, editor-in-chief at 338 CanadaJoël-Denis Bellavance, Ottawa bureau chief for La PresseNick Taylor-Vaisey, Ottawa bureau chief for PoliticoReynolds Mastin, President and CEO of the Canadian Media Producers AssociationCarla de Jong, Head of Co-Production and International Partnerships at Sinking Ship EntertainmentAndrew Cash, CEO of the Canadian Independent Music Association and former NDP MPSandra Aubé, Liberal strategistVass Bednar, Managing Director of the Canadian Shield InstituteMichael Geist, Canada Research Chair in Internet and e-Commerce Law at the University in Ottawa

A former advisor to Stephen Harper's government concedes things are not going great for the Conservatives under Pierre Poilievre -- but he says MPs need to fix the party from within rather than cross the floor. The mayor of Sarnia, Ontario says some constituents feel betrayed by Marilyn Gladu's defection to the Liberal government -- and the only solution is a byelection. A Manitoba First Nations Chief describes the suicide crisis unfolding around her -- and what it will take to stop it.A small town in north west England is plagued by an overwhelming stench from a nearby landfill that residents say is not complying with environmental regulations.A man spent years building a precise replica of the Orca, from "Jaws".

This has to be the worst of times for Donald Trump - nothing is going right, and the US President looks increasingly unhinged on a daily basis. Even some of his base are abandoning him. With Chantal away, former Washington correspondent Keith Boag joins Bruce for some serious Trump talk. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

As former Conservative MP Marliyn Gladu's move to the Liberals further widens the views within caucus, could it impact upcoming byelections? What does another defection mean for Pierre Poilievre's leadership? And, will Mark Carney address concerns around the independence of Senators? Rosemary Barton hosts Andrew Coyne, Althia Raj and Rob Shaw.

Here we go again! Yet another Conservative MP - one who's had a stronghold on her riding for more than a decade - has crossed the floor into the Liberal caucus. Marilyn Gladu was welcomed with open arms by Prime Minister Mark Carney on Wednesday morning. But some are critical of just how open his arms were to this particular crosser, someone who's been a vocal critic of vaccination mandates, abortion rights, and the banning of conversion therapy. Host Maria Kestane speaks to Elizabeth McCallion, a political scientist at the University of Toronto to break down whether it's time for the Liberals to draw lines on who's allowed into their party, and the disconnect between grassroot supports of Pierre Poilievre and the people who represent him in Parliament.

The Man Who Could Lead Canada By 2029: Pierre Poilievre On Trump, Tariffs & Why You Still Can't Afford A Home Pierre Poilievre is the Leader of the Conservative Party of Canada and Leader of the Opposition.

A terrible crash of an Air Canada jet in New York becomes a language crisis at the top of the country's national airline.  The airline employs more than 35 thousand people, about a third of them in Montreal.  But their Montreal based CEO speaks only English and this week that became painfully clear.  Bruce and Chantal have their thoughts on what this says about Canadian bilingualism.  Plus final thoughts on the NDP race.
