Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre is anticipated to win today's byelection in Alberta's Battle River–Crowfoot, one of the safest Conservative seats in the country. But with more than 200 independent candidates on the ballot and separatist sentiment simmering in the province, analysts say the campaign offers clues on what to expect when Parliament returns this fall. We hear from former Conservative cabinet minister Monte Solberg and former Alberta NDP cabinet minister Shannon Phillips.
Thousands of unionized Air Canada flight attendants were supposed to be back work. But they are still on the picket lines in defiance of the federal government's return to work orders - and the airline remains grounded. That's leaving many to wonder - what comes next?Also: Voters in the Alberta riding of Battle River-Crowfoot will decide if Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre gets a seat back in the House of Commons on Monday. You'll hear why this byelection is unlike any before.And: There's a shift happening in the war for your eyeballs.

在一个加拿大人看来,特朗普的上任,让美加关系产生了怎样的变化?又在加拿大国内引起了怎样的风波? 无论是声称要让加拿大成为美国的第五十一个州,还是要提高对加关税,再度上任的特朗普对加拿大这位邻居,同时也是曾经的亲密盟友都没有释放出半点善意。对此,加拿大人的反应是怎样的呢? 这期节目我们采访到了一位在温哥华生活的加拿大人,他讲述了加拿大人一直以来对美国又爱又恨的复杂感情,以及由特朗普激起的民族主义情绪和抵制美国风潮。透过他的观察,你或许能更近距离地感受到,一个国家的民族意识如何被点燃、发酵,不同的个体又会被怎样卷入其中。 本期人物 Mark,一个不想再去美国但是无法拒绝 Cosmic Crisp 的加拿大人 赛德,中文配音、「声东击西」后期制作人 可宣,「声东击西」监制 主要话题 中文版 [03:34] 不为人知的 1812 年战争,美加之间爱恨情仇的开始 [11:40] 一个加拿大版本的特朗普是如何出现的?

Free For All Friday - Hour 1 Amanda Galbraith breaks down the biggest stories of the day with Canada's top newsmakers. On today's show: It's been a full week since the U.S. struck Canada with 35 percent tariffs. We still don't have a new trade deal with the Trump administration. So where do we go from here? We pick the brain of David McLaughlin, a former Chief of Staff to former Prime Minister Brian Mulroney. Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre plans to pressure the Carney Liberals to implement the Canadian Sovereignty Act. What exactly does this act entail? Adam Chambers, the Conservative MP for Simcoe North, pays us a visit. Canadian teenage tennis star Victoria Mboko wins the National Bank Open in stunning fashion. How about those Toronto Blue Jays?! They steamrolled the Colorado Rockies in a 3-game series earlier this week, and are now preparing for a pair of measuring-stick matchups. Free For All Friday - Hour 2 Hosts from all over the country join The Roundtable to discuss the five biggest stories of the week. Today's edition features former Toronto Star editor Michael Cooke and Crestview Strategy Vice-President Deirdra Tindale. Topic 1: The latest developments on the Canada-U.S. trade war. Topic 2: Should the Carney Liberals repeal the Online News Act? Should they at least consider it? Topic 3: In the midst of today's concerning wildfire risks, should Canadians stay out of the woods at all costs? Topic 4: Teenage tennis phenoms, public manners, and points programs.
As Prime Minister Mark Carney reaches the pivotal milestone of 100 days in office, we find ourselves at a crucial crossroads. With President Trump spiralling further into authoritarianism and alarming rhetoric echoing from Fox News about a hostile takeover of Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba, it's clear that the stakes have never been higher. Premier Ford is leveraging this chaos to justify ignoring pressing environmental concerns, pushing forward with a $100 billion tunnel project under Highway 401 that nobody asked for.Amid this tumultuous landscape, advance voting has begun in the Battleriver-Crowfoot race—a critical showdown between Bonnie Critchley and Pierre Poilievre that could shape our future. Host Laura Babcock is joined by David Moscrop of the Globe and Mail and the Walrus to unpack the real threats to American democracy, the ripple effects on Canada's economy and sovereignty, and explore how we can not only survive but emerge as a stronger nation during these uncertain times.Now more than ever, we need to rally together to protect our democratic values and safeguard our country's future. Join us in this vital conversation—like, comment, and subscribe. Let's build a robust pro-democracy community that stands firm against threats to our freedoms and works tirelessly to ensure a brighter tomorrow for all Canadians!
Today, we're looking at Pierre Poilievre's comments about Alberta independence and how the province, despite a growing independence movement, can create wealth across the whole of Canada. Plus, with a climate lockdown essentially underway in Nova Scotia, the province is opening up a snitch line for residents to give tips to the authorities for individuals violating the ban on hiking, camping and fishing. And finally, despite pledging to slow down mass immigration, the Liberals have gone quiet when it comes to publishing new data, an issue highlighted by Conservative immigration critic Michelle Rempel Garner.
Alberta's Battle River-Crowfoot is about as safe a riding as Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre could hope for as a place to regain a seat in the House of Commons in a byelection later this month. But he's facing pushback from some locals who feel they're being used as a means to an end by someone who won't represent their interests in Ottawa. The riding is also the latest target of the Longest Ballot Committee protest movement — including one dinosaur-obsessed candidate, Nicola Zoghbi, who promises to move the national capital to Drumheller and rename the riding "Raptor River-Crowfoot."Meanwhile, Prime Minister Mark Carney is facing growing pressure to secure some sort of trade deal with the United States after Donald Trump made good on a promise of 35 percent tariffs on all Canadian imports not covered by CUSMA. How much political runway does Carney have left?CBC Ottawa senior reporter Aaron Wherry breaks down both of these stories.For transcripts of Front Burner, please visit: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/frontburner/transcripts
Our lead story: in the by-election for the federal Alberta riding of Battle River–Crowfoot—a vote set for August 18—NDP candidate Katherine Swampy of Samson Cree Nation takes on Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre.
Today, we're looking at Pierre Poilievre responding to a question about why Alberta should remain in Canada, as the Conservative leader pitched a message of national unity amid talks of an independence referendum in the province. Plus, Mark Carney was pressed about his daughter attending the now discredited Tavistock gender clinic in the United Kingdom as the prime minister attended the Vancouver Pride parade. And finally, speaking of Pride — Jewish groups in Montreal were banned from taking part in the city's Pride parade, only for the celebration to be disrupted by anti-Israel activists. Special Guest: Lise Merle.
In less than 2 weeks, it's do or die for Pierre Poilievre.Not only is he in for a political battle to get into the House of Commons, he's got other forces working against him, including another lengthy ballot.Most of the candidates are associated with the Longest Ballot Committee, a grassroots electoral reform group seeking to draw attention to itself by flooding ballots with as many names as possible in several recent elections and byelections. But their tactics have raised questions about the effect long ballots have on the accessibility and integrity of the vote. Host Caryn Ceolin speaks to Julie Simmons, associate professor at the University of Guelph's political science department to discuss both the flaws in the Canadian electoral system that long ballots aim to highlight and whether such protests have the potential to depreciate our democracy. We love feedback at The Big Story, as well as suggestions for future episodes. You can find us:Through email at hello@thebigstorypodcast.ca Or @thebigstoryfpn on Twitter
For a second time, Pierre Poilievre is facing dozens of opponents in a race, this time in Alberta's Battle River-Crowfoot riding where more than 200 names are on the ballot. We hear your reaction and we speak with Jean-Pierre Kingsley, a former Chief Electoral Officer of Canada.
Two hundred and ten names, and one of them is Pierre Poilievre. The Battle River-Crowfoot byelection in Alberta isn't just about who wins one seat. It's about what kind of democracy Canadians want.The Conservative leader is trying to return to Parliament after losing his longtime seat in the Ottawa riding of Carleton. But he's facing a record-breaking protest —hundreds of candidates, most are backed by an electoral reform group, trying to make a point about how our system works, or doesn't. Some call it a mockery. Others say it's a wake up call. Either way it's testing the rules, the voters, and the future of Canadian politics.Our question: Why does the Pierre Poilievre byelection matter to you? What does it say about Canadian politics?

More than halfway through a turbulent political year, Alberta sits at the crossroads of a global trade war, a federal-provincial power struggle and a simmering separatism debate. This week on West of Centre, host Rob Brown brings together former federal cabinet minister Monte Solberg, political strategist Stephen Carter, and University of Calgary political scientist Lisa Young to take stock of Canada and Alberta's political landscape before the podcast breaks for the summer.The panel sizes up three major players: rookie Prime Minister Mark Carney, who's set an ambitious tone but faces high-stakes tests ahead; Pierre Poilievre, whose leadership hangs in the balance after his election defeat; and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, who remains strong in the polls while stoking talks of sovereignty. The trio weighs in on their performance so far — and what could make or break them in the months ahead.The episode wraps with a look at Alberta's changing municipal politics, where party slates are on the ballot for the first time in Calgary and Edmonton. While voters claim to dislike partisanship in city hall, Carter argues party structures could either streamline councils or turn them into battlegrounds. With federal, provincial, and municipal politics all in flux, the rest of 2025 promises anything but quiet.West of Centre has recorded its biggest audience and download numbers ever this year. Thank you for listening! We'll be back in September with Kathleen Petty returning to the host chair.Host: Rob Brown | Producer & editor: Falice Chin | Guests: Monte Solberg, Lisa Young, Stephen Carter
Prime Minister Mark Carney says it's time for Canada to recognize a Palestinian state, and will do so officially in September.And: The Trump administration has slapped a new tariff on copper. In the past few weeks, he has made deals with a few countries. The Bank of Canada says that has reduced the risk of a "severe and escalating" global trade war. But none of those deals include an agreement to remove existing sectoral tariffs — a fact that is worrying Canadian steel and aluminum producers.Also: Generation Z is struggling to find work. But that struggle is also driving many to become more financially savvy. New data suggests the group is better at investing and planning for the future than some older generations.Plus: Breathalyzer tests aren't easy for everyone, millions put on tsunami alert after an earthquake off Russia's coast, Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre's fight to get back into the House of Commons, and more.

For the second time in as many elections, Pierre Poilievre will have to contend with an enormous number of opponents. After the Longest Ballot Committee organized to expand the list of names to 91 candidates in Carleton, they've now boosted their efforts to push the roster of candidates to over 200 ahead of the Battle River–Crowfoot byelection.Will it be the final straw before changes are made to the election laws? And what impact could it have on the race?This week on The Numbers, we delve into the absurd byelection in Alberta. We also discuss some of the latest federal polling, as well as a trio of provincial byelections added to the calendar in Prince Edward Island and Manitoba and a face-off between Bonnie Crombie and Nate Erskine-Smith that is brewing within the Ontario Liberal Party.

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.

The B.C. government has landed in hot water over a decision to deny a dying child access to medicine — and the political backlash has been swift. Meanwhile, even as concerns over public safety remain paramount, Premier David Eby keeps picking fights with Donald Trump. Is this smart politics, or just desperation? Rob breaks it down.All that and more on On The Line. Subscribe at ReadTheLine.ca, follow us on your favourite podcast app, and don't forget to leave us a nice review.

On today's episode of The Candice Malcolm Show, Dragon's Den star and investor Brett Wilson makes a bold prediction: former Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault won't survive the year. Brett joins Candice to talk about how the Liberals are trying to reinvent themselves under Mark Carney — but can't seem to shake the Trudeau-era dogma that made them unappealing to Canadians in the first place. Also, Premier Danielle Smith's Alberta Next town halls are officially underway. Her panel is touring the province over the next two months, asking Albertans six big questions — including whether Alberta should withdraw from the Canada Pension Plan, take over immigration, or even lead a push to amend the Constitution. Candice and Brett break down the first two stops in Red Deer and Sherwood Park, where hundreds of attendees showed up to demand more autonomy — and in some cases, outright separation. One Red Deer resident told the panel: “There is one question, and one question only, that needs to be on a referendum: 'Do you support Alberta exiting Canadian confederation?'” Next, they discuss the Premiers meetings in Muskoka, Ontario, and Prime Minister Mark Carney's emergency meetings to discuss President Trump's tariffs. Finally, they discuss the longest ballot initiative and how nearly 200 candidates will be running in the upcoming by-election where Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre will run to regain a seat in the House of Commons after losing his Ottawa-area riding in the recent general election.

CARNEY LIED: Pierre Poilievre CALLS OUT Carney Over Blind TrustBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/radio-baloney-the-richie-baloney-show--4036781/support.
C-5 summit in Gatineau could set the the tone of government-Indigenous relations — for the rest of Mark Carney's time as Prime Minister. Brazil's Congress passes bill that drastically weakens the country's environmental safeguards. Canada's largest federal public sector union disputes Pierre Poilievre's account of why he lost his riding in the last election.

"Pretty Little Baby" singer Connie Francis dies at 87.
On today's episode of the Candice Malcolm Show, Candice discusses why she is homeschooling her young children and why she prioritizes getting them outside to play in nature. Candice is then joined by Ginny Roth, a partner at Crestview Strategy and Pierre Poilievre's former Director of Communications. Ginny talks about her new op/ed in the Hub discussing the need for school choice in Ontario. According to her research, enrolment in Ontario public schools has only increased by 1.2% over the past decade, compared to a 22% increase in independent schools during that same period – despite the province offering no support to parents who make this decision. Candice outlines the total woke takeover of education in Ontario – the poisonous gender ideology, the hateful critical race theory, the radical climate catastrophe crowd, and the perverse cultural relativism – and discusses how Canadians oppose these radical measures in schools. Ginny adds that rigorous math and phonics lessons are also being removed from some schools, and that children are not being adequately prepared for their future. Why has this happened? Candice asks point blank: How has this happened under a so-called “conservative” government? Ginny gives the best explanation to date about the institutional takeover by extreme activists, and the lack of political will inside the Ford government to push back. Next, they discuss the disturbing rise in anti-Jewish hatred in Canadian schools, which is causing many Jewish families to leave Canada. When Jews are fleeing your country because of rampant, institutionalized intimidation, you know you have a real problem. Candice and Ginny discuss this problem and what can be done to combat it.
