Podcast appearances and mentions of Pierre Poilievre

Zain Velji and Shannon Phillips dive into the weird, wonderful world of press-gallery comedy, from Don Davies' viral self-roast to Pierre Poilievre's carefully staged moment. How does the Press Gallery dinner work and does it still matter? What does "joyful negativity" look like in practice? And does the lack of "white noise" make the podcast any easier to listen to? Zain Velji, as always, picks the questions and keeps everybody in line.Join our Patreon for ad-free episodes, bonus episodes, and access to our exclusive Discord.https://www.patreon.com/c/strategistspodYou can also watch this episode on YouTube.https://www.youtube.com/@strategistspod Hosted on Acast.

What to make of Mark Carney's decision to reach back into the Trudeau cabinet to replace another minister who quit? That's the question to the Toronto Star's Althia Raj and The Economist's Rob Russo on this latest episode of Reporter's Notebook. Also, what our two correspondents are hearing about the ongoing competition between the U.S. F35 fighter jet and Sweden's Gripen. Billions are at stake and thousands of jobs.

Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre roasted Laurentian elites this weekend and said the recently resigned cabinet minister Steven Guilbeault's "brand of crazy" fits in with the NDP's alignment with “furries and queers for Palestine.” Following the resignation of Steven Guilbeault last week, Marc Miller has been appointed to Prime Minister Mark Carney's cabinet to assume the role of Canadian Culture Minister. A new poll finds that lacking a family doctor could mean Canadians are more than twice as likely to struggle accessing the rest of Canada's health care system, including early screening for cancer.Tune in to the Daily Brief with Cosmin Dzsurdzsa and Geoff Knight !

In this explosive episode of Canada Is Boring, we dive into the political earthquake shaking Ottawa and Nova Scotia as MP Chris d'Entremont crosses the floor from the Conservative Party to the Liberals.The longtime Acadie–Annapolis MP, known for his strong local voter loyalty, stunned Parliament by announcing his decision immediately after the federal budget was tabled — a move that has triggered allegations, backlash, and deep questions about the leadership tone of Pierre Poilievre's Conservative Party.D'Entremont reveals he barely held his seat in the recent election — not because of national momentum, but because of his personal brand and decades of local trust. He says many lifelong Conservative supporters told him they could no longer vote for him under Poilievre's leadership style, forcing him to distance his campaign from the party leader during the election.The tipping point?A dramatic confrontation where Conservative House Leader Andrew Scheer and party whip Chris Warkentin allegedly barged into his office, yelled at him, and accused him of being a “snake.” D'Entremont says the incident “sealed the deal” on his decision to join Prime Minister Mark Carney's Liberals, describing a culture of negativity, toxic behaviour, and a party that felt “more like a frat house than a serious political organization.”The Conservatives deny the allegations — calling d'Entremont a liar, insisting the meeting was calm, and accusing him of turning his back on voters. Meanwhile, internal turmoil continues, with Edmonton MP Matt Jeneroux resigning days later and reports of senior party strategists scrambling to prevent more defections.From accusations of chaos inside the Conservative caucus, to the MP being booed at a Remembrance Day service, to the wider questions about leadership, tone, and political loyalty — this episode breaks down everything Canadians are arguing about.Floor crossing. Leadership battles. Nova Scotia politics. Party culture wars. Loyalty versus survival.This is Canadian politics at its pettiest, messiest, and most fascinating.All our links:https://bio.to/canboringThis podcast is hosted two idiots and created purely for entertainment purposes.

Twelve hundred people were on their feet in Calgary yesterday applauding Mark Carney and Danielle Smith for the deal they signed that could lead to a new pipeline to move Alberta oil to markets. But there was a cost too ...Carney lost a minister, and the BC government and indigenous groups are more than a little bit upset. What happens now?  Chantal Hebert and Bruce Anderson look for answers in this week's Good Talk. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer discuss the political implications of Prime Minister Mark Carney's pipeline deal with Alberta Premier Danielle Smith. They debate whether Carney's leadership represents a fundamental shift in Liberal politics or simply a "new personality cult" in light of his reversal of various Trudeau-era policies. They also cover what his centre-right positioning on different issues is a challenge for Pierre Poilievre and the Conservatives. In the second half, they explore the complex conditions embedded in the Carney-Smith pipeline agreement, including whether a private sector proponent will step forward and and industrial carbon pricing's future impact on Canadian competitiveness.

No wonder Pierre Poilievre is unhappy. Mark Carney took a page from Poilievre's playbook and axed the (carbon) tax, and now the Liberal Prime Minister's getting set for a pipeline announcement alongside Alberta's UCP Premier Danielle Smith. It's no wonder the federal Conservative leader is doing his best to discredit the deal. We open this episode with an exchange between Poilievre and Carney in the House of Commons, along with feckless chirps from prominent Alberta separatist Jeff Rath.

The federal Conservatives attack the Prime Minister for appearing fed up over recent reporter questions about U.S. trade talks. Pierre Poilievre wants to know where Mark Carney's promised deal is. A month has passed since negotiations fell apart because of Ontario's anti-tariff ad. Carney says he might visit the White House ‘soon.'And: A U.S. federal judge has tossed out indictments against former FBI Director James Comey, and New York Attorney General Letitia James. The move deals a blow to President Trump, who was pushing his Justice Department to target his political enemies.Also: With a sputtering economy and a pull back on spending, Canadian businesses are under pressure to capitalize on some of the Black Friday windfall.Plus: Ottawa-Alberta understanding on pipeline, Ukraine peace deal deadline looms, Nigeria school kidnappings fallout, remembering reggae legend Jimmy Cliff, and more.

So in the end the Mark Carney government survived the budget vote. But you have to wonder whether the 140-138 vote in the Commons was what they really wanted. Sure it avoids a messy Christmas season election, but it also avoids what may have been the PM's best chance of turning a minority into a majority. We'll discuss that and what happens now with The Economist's Rob Russo and the Toronto Star's Althia Raj on this Tuesday's Reporter's Notebook.

The federal Conservatives were still licking their wounds from the Liberals' recent minority election victory when they were rocked by a stunning and dispiriting floor-crossing. And they failed to stop the government from passing its budget by a razor-thin margin. That was 20 years ago, as Ian Brodie, former chief of staff to prime minister Stephen Harper, reflects on with Brian. And it looked a lot like what Pierre Poilievre's Conservatives are going through today. Back then, it took less than a year before the government fell and Harper's Conservatives won their first of three election victories. Brodie explains what lessons Poilievre and his team can learn from that time, and why Conservatives shouldn't be too shaken by their recent troubles.

The numbers certainly conclude that if all opposition MPs vote against the budget then the government will fall. But will that happen and will it happen next week? All that on the heels of the budget and the latest major projects list? That and this question -- Is Mark Carney still green? All this with Chantal Hebert and Bruce Anderson on this week's Good Talk.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer discuss the Carney government's new list of major projects and what it reveals about Ottawa's economic strategy. They argue that projects require financing rather than regulatory acceleration, suggesting the government is overriding market signals through subsidies. In the back half of the show, they discuss rising economic discontent among younger Canadians, the potential for a "bourgeoisie revolt," and what it means for Canadian politics. They also explore whether Pierre Poilievre's controversial style meets this moment of economic anxiety, and why Mark Carney's technocratic approach could be deemed as out of touch.  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)   Want more Hub?

The decisions of one Conservative MP to cross the floor, and another to resign have sparked a wider conversation about whether Pierre Poilievre should remain leader of the party.Those moves also forced the Conservatives into their version of damage control, given the stories of intense pressure campaigns and disputed accounts of office screaming sessions.Two conservatives joined host Jayme Poisson with their take on how Poilievre and his supporters are managing this latest crisis.Fred DeLorey is the chair of Northstar Public Affairs. He was also former Conservative leader Erin O'Toole's national campaign director in 2021.

Is Mark Carney’s honeymoon with voters coming to an end? Quebecers are seemingly not impressed with Mark Carney’s first budget. Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre spoke to reporters yesterday for the first time since two MPs announced they were leaving his caucus. As it stands right now, there will be no bus or metro service this weekend. Doctors leaving for Ontario may not be getting the better lifestyle that was promised to them.

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 recent Abacus Data polling on Pierre Poilievre's leadership paradox whereby he has strong support among Conservative base voters but has low popularity numbers with non-Conservative voters. They explore whether the Conservative Party has reached its electoral ceiling, the trade-offs between mobilizing the base versus appealing to swing voters, and whether any alternative leader could perform better.   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)   Want more Hub?

Last week was quite something, even for Canadian politics. A big-time Liberal budget with a huge deficit, while chaos ruled in the Conservative opposition. How do you explain that? That's the question for our extremely popular panel feature, a former top Liberal advisor and a former Conservative cabinet minister. Strap in for this one. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

CBC's Kate McKenna reports on six projects that will be on Prime Minister Mark Carney's second list of major projects on Thursday, according to CBC News sources. Plus, Kaja Kallas, vice-president of the European Commission, tells David Cochrane why she believes the EU must change to reflect a dissolving global order or risk irrelevance.

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.

Questions surface about Pierre Poilievre's leadership after one Conservative MP crosses the floor and another resigns. Prime Minister Mark Carney looks for the votes to support his federal budget. And Canada's plan to slash immigration levels. Rosemary Barton hosts Chantal Hébert, Andrew Coyne and Althia Raj.

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.

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.
