National CCW Reciprocity? What Would That Look Like? Earlier this week, we reported on CRPA's support for a national CCW reciprocity bill recently introduced in Congress. Similar bills have been introduced in the past, but the current political landscape provides greater optimism for its potential success this time around. So what would that look like here in California? A national law mandating legal carry everywhere in a state that has gone to great lengths to make it illegal to carry almost anywhere? Well that would be quite an interesting scenario. https://crpa.org/news/blogs/national-ccw-reciprocity-what-would-that-look-like/ Kennedy, Cornyn introduce bill to protect concealed-carry rights Sen....

More Liberals are declaring their intentions in relation to the party's leadership race. Christy Clark and François-Philippe Champagne say they are out. Karina Gould is rumoured to be in. One big name — Mark Carney — flirted with the idea on The Daily Show with John Stewart. He's expected to make an announcement on Thursday.And: Premiers say they want to know the federal plans for border security and economic stability ahead of Trump's administration taking power on Monday. Trump announced his own plan: The External Revenue Service. He says it will be created on January 20th, to collect tariffs.Also: “On the edge”, “on the brink”, “on the verge” — all the “almost there” phrases are being trotted out to describe the state of negotiations for a ceasefire in Gaza. Families on both sides are watching… and hoping.Plus: Los Angeles fires still not contained, intimate partner violence in Nova Scotia, dismantling DEI, and more.
Mark Carney is expected to launch his Liberal leadership campaign later this week, and did a soft launch on the Daily Show with Jon Stewart last night. If Carney does indeed enter the race (which it looks like he will) it will be a coronation and he will be the next leader of the party, and by default, our next Prime Minister. On today's episode of the Candice Malcolm Show, Candice walks us through Carney's past roles – central banker, Trudeau Liberal advisor, proud Global elite – to demonstrate that he is not an outsider. Instead, she shows how his socialist, money-printing policies have been disastrous, how he's very much to blame for our economic collapse, and that it's possible that he's equally as arrogant as our current PM. Later in the show, Candice discusses the other candidates running, including Christy Clark and her weird lies that seem to have sunken her campaign, she discusses the latest with Trump's tariff threats and the best way to respond, and, for fun, she responds to a very grumpy online critic.

Innovation Minister François-Philippe Champagne said Tuesday he won't be running to replace Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Former B.C. premier Christy Clark also bowed out after previously hinting at a leadership bid. That leaves the Liberals with only three leadership hopefuls that have publicly announced their intentions to run. The CBC's Catherine Cullen and Radio-Canada's Louis Blouin have the latest on who we can soon expect to join the race. Plus, Heritage Minister Pascale St-Onge weighs in on what it means to not have a major Quebecois or francophone contender running.
Former B.C. premier Christy Clark, who is considering a run for federal Liberal leader, has walked back her claim that she'd never been a member of the Conservative party. The field of contenders for the Liberal leadership has narrowed with ministers Mélanie Joly, Anita Anand, and Dominic LeBlanc announcing they will not run. Research Co. pollster Mario Canseco joins the show as we ask viewers what they think the election is about, and we take audience calls to weigh in on the top contenders for the Liberal race.Next, raging wildfires in the Los Angeles area have local governments examining their climate disaster policies. George Monbiot, a climate activist and columnist with 'The Guardian', joins the show to discuss how governments should plan and respond to climate change. We take callers' questions for Mr. Monbiot, as well as comments on what needs to happen to mitigate climate-fueled disasters.

Justin Trudeau, Canada's long-standing Prime Minister, announced his resignation this week, marking a seismic shift in the nation's political landscape. Trudeau's departure comes after nearly a decade as Prime Minister and thirteen years as leader of the Liberal Party. His resignation was not entirely unexpected but has sparked a wave of introspection within Canadian politics.Here is what you need to know if you don't care about Canada unless they're playing hockey or changing heads of state as told to us this episode by Evan Scrimshaw.The Breaking Point: Why Trudeau ResignedTrudeau's decision to step down was a culmination of mounting pressure from within his party and worsening public opinion. In recent months, his leadership faced escalating dissent. A pivotal moment was the resignation of the finance minister, which signaled deep fractures within the Liberal Party. Over the holiday season, Trudeau faced an ultimatum from his caucus—resign or face a vote of no confidence.Several factors contributed to Trudeau's plummeting support:* Declining Poll Numbers: Trudeau's approval ratings had been steadily eroding, with the Liberal Party polling over 20 points behind the opposition Conservative Party.* Special Election Defeats: Losing in traditionally strong Liberal ridings signaled waning public support.* Policy Disconnect: While many of Trudeau's policies were popular in principle, his personal brand had become a liability. Voters who liked Liberal initiatives often dismissed them outright when they were linked to Trudeau.Trudeau's tenure will be remembered as one of bold progressive initiatives juxtaposed with ethical controversies. On the positive side, his government achieved significant reductions in child poverty, lowered carbon emissions, and introduced affordable childcare programs. Yet, his administration was marred by scandals, including:* Ethics Violations: Pressure on the attorney general to favor a Quebec-based company, SNC-Lavalin, during a corruption probe.* Conflicts of Interest: Controversies surrounding contracts awarded to organizations with personal ties to Trudeau's family.* Housing Crisis: Critics argue Trudeau's inaction exacerbated Canada's housing affordability crisis, with rents and mortgage rates soaring during his leadership.As Scrimshaw put it, Trudeau's administration embodied “reckless disregard” for ethical boundaries. While these issues might have been survivable individually, collectively, they eroded trust in his leadership.Trudeau's resignation has thrown the Liberal Party into a leadership race. He will remain interim Prime Minister until March, with no parliamentary sittings until then. Key contenders for his replacement include:* Chrystia Freeland, the current finance minister and one of Trudeau's closest allies.* Mark Carney, former Bank of Canada and Bank of England Governor.* Anita Anand, Minister of National Defence.* Other candidates, including Francois-Philippe Champagne, Dominic LeBlanc, and former B.C. Premier Christy Clark.The party faces a critical choice: selecting a leader who can halt its decline and prepare it for the next general election. Scrimshaw warns that without decisive leadership, the Liberal Party risks being overtaken by the New Democratic Party (NDP) or marginalized altogether, as seen historically with the UK's Liberal Party being replaced by Labour.As Trudeau exits, the Conservative Party, led by Pierre Poilievre, appears poised to seize power in the next election. Poilievre, a pragmatic and relatively moderate conservative, has maintained focus on fiscal discipline while distancing himself from extreme social conservatism. The scale of the Conservative victory—whether narrow or overwhelming—will shape the trajectory of Canadian politics for years to come.Trudeau's political obituary is one of contrasts. He entered office as a symbol of youthful energy and progressive ideals, but over time, his administration became a cautionary tale of hubris and ethical lapses. His departure offers an opportunity for renewal within the Liberal Party and Canadian politics at large. Yet, the path forward is fraught with challenges, as the party grapples with its identity and viability in a rapidly shifting political landscape.ChaptersOpening and Introduction (00:00:00–00:00:45)General overview of topics, including Trudeau's resignation, Zuckerberg's changes at Meta, and upcoming political discussions.The Revival of Government (00:00:45–00:01:25)Commentary on the return of political activity in the House and the Trump administration's cabinet hearings.Justin Trudeau Resigns (00:01:25–00:08:45)A detailed discussion of Trudeau's resignation, his legacy, and the future of the Liberal Party.Global Political Trends and Liberal Party Risks (00:08:45–00:12:15)Insights into parallels between Canadian and UK politics, the Liberal Party's identity crisis, and risks of being overtaken by the NDP.Future Leadership of the Liberal Party (00:12:15–00:14:22)Breakdown of potential leadership candidates and their implications.Conservatives' Prospects and Pierre Poilievre (00:14:22–00:21:57)Analysis of Poilievre's leadership style and the Conservative Party's likely dominance in the next election.Discussion with Tom Merritt on Meta (00:39:00–00:41:07)A conversation with Tom Merritt on the implications of Meta's changes for political and social discourse.The Trump Administration's Strategy (00:26:23–00:29:56, 00:42:00–00:49:20)Overview of Donald Trump's legislative plans, reconciliation tactics, and the challenges facing the House and Senate.

For several months now, Liberal MP Anthony Housefather has been calling for his boss to resign. The Montreal-area politician first broke publicly with his party in March 2024, over its positions on the Israel-Hamas war—yet he ultimately decided to remain in the Liberal caucus. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau later appointed Housefather as special advisor on the Jewish community and antisemitism, but that promotion didn't stop Housefather from calling for Trudeau to step down in recent weeks. On Jan. 6, 2025, Housefather finally got his wish. Trudeau announced he would resign as prime minister and leader of the Liberal Party of Canada after the party votes on a new leader. To give themselves some time, the prime minister prorogued parliament until March 24. The significant decision comes on the heels of tenuous conflicts that the Prime Minister's Office faced, both within and beyond his own party—including conflicts over Jewish issues. His centrist approach to the Middle East conflict invited criticism on his foreign affairs file from right- and left-leaning supporters, while Canadian Jewish voters faced unprecedented spikes in antisemitism across the country, with some laying blame, rightly or wrongly, at the foot of the federal government. For his part, Housefather thinks Canadian Jews should stick with the Liberals under a new leader, and plans to advocate for Jewish issues with the forthcoming candidates. (He's already praising Christy Clark, the former B.C. premier, and Chrystia Freeland, the ex-finance minister). Housefather joins The CJN Daily to discuss Trudeau's historic resignation and lays out what to expect. Then, we speak with Jeremy Levi, the mayor of the Town of Hampstead, Quebec, for his take on the moment and why Trudeau's decision doesn't move the needle for Conservative supporters such as himself. Related links Read what Justin Trudeau told The CJN in 2015 about his and his party's positions on Jewish and Israel issues before he was first elected as Prime Minister with a majority. Review why Liberal MP Anthony Housefather almost left the Liberal government over its anti-Israel positions, on The CJN Daily, from March 2024. Learn more about Hampstead Mayor Jeremy Levi, a Conservative supporter who has become a vocal critic of the Liberals, especially Housefather, in this recent The CJN profile.

This week, our guest is the Honourable Christy Clark, the 35th Premier of British Columbia and Canada's longest-serving female Premier. Christy Clark is currently a Senior Advisor for Bennett Jones LLP.Politics is top of mind for energy decision-makers with the upcoming US election, Canadian federal by-elections, the possibility of an early federal election in Canada, and a provincial election next month in Christy Clark's home province of British Columbia.Here are some of the questions Jackie and Peter asked Christy Clark:Are you surprised that the NDP has been slipping in the polls in BC? Explain the BC United Party (former BC Liberal Party) recently folding into the Conservative Party of BC. Is there potential for the provincial Conservative Party to win in BC next month? Is climate change still an important issue for BC voters? You worked to get BC's LNG industry started, with over 15 potential projects expected at one point; what is your view on the industry now? Is more electrical generation capacity needed to meet future demand, besides the Site C hydro dam? Now that it has started, how do people feel about the Trans Mountain expansion oil pipeline? With the federal NDP ripping up their agreement to cooperate with the Liberals, do you expect the federal election will occur sooner than October 2025? What are the chances that Justin Trudeau will withdraw from the federal Liberal leadership before the election? Do you have any federal political aspirations?Content referenced in this podcast:Current polling of BC provincial election at 388canada.com Please review our disclaimer at: https://www.arcenergyinstitute.com/disclaimer/ Check us out on social media: X (Twitter): @arcenergyinstLinkedIn: @ARC Energy Research Institute Subscribe to ARC Energy Ideas PodcastApple PodcastsAmazon MusicSpotify
