Canada's trade battle with the United States is officially underway. But since it kicked off on Tuesday, there have been near-constant twists and turns as U.S. President Donald Trump switches up his motives, his tariffs and his exemptions for Canadian trade. So how big a hit is Canada's economy taking in this fight? Internal Trade Minister Anita Anand joins the program to discuss the federal government's response and her work dismantling interprovincial trade barriers. Then, business owners share how they're adjusting to the shifting economic climate. Plus the cross-border — and cross-party — married couple on how these tense times are playing out in their household.Also, the Liberals will crown their new leader this Sunday after a six-week sprint.

The U.S. tariff threats against Canada may be on pause, but the reaction from many Canadians shows that the cross-border chaos struck a nerve. From an immediate pledge to boycott and ‘buy Canadian', to political figures threatening to pull U.S. products from shelves, Canadians across the political spectrum decided to assert themselves against the might of the elephant south of the border.Shannon Proudfoot, feature writer and columnist for The Globe, explores our collective Canadian identity and what the fallout from this week says about the nation's psyche when we're threatened by our closest ally.Questions?

Justin Trudeau's poll numbers have been bad for a while. The Liberals have lost two crucial by-elections and are trailing behind the Conservatives in seat projections. They just lost the support of the NDP. The shine seems to have completely come off the nine-year-old government. And yet, Trudeau remains defiant. Why?The Globe's Shannon Proudfoot set out to determine why, in the face of increasingly long odds, some politicians can't seem to read the writing piling up on the wall. She spoke to former Ontario premier Kathleen Wynne and a pollster on the disastrous 1993 Progressive Conservative campaign to find answers.This episode originally aired on October 4, 2024.Questions?

This week in politics has been so massive, one MP's stunned response summed it up: “WTF?” In the span of five days, the finance minister resigned; a growing list of Liberal MPs called on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to quit; the federal cabinet got shuffled; NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh vowed to bring down the government; and Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre wrote to the Governor General to ask her to reconvene Parliament.On today's pod, a longtime Liberal MP calls for Trudeau to go. A minister explains why he thinks Trudeau should stay. Then, two columnists dissect whether Trudeau — and the country — can survive the turmoil. Finally, as Donald Trump and his supporters taunt Canada about becoming the 51st state, Catherine Cullen sits down with the departing American ambassador to Canada to discuss whether Canadians need to loosen up — or whether we deserve a little more respect.This episode features the voices of:Rob Oliphant, Liberal MP for Don Valley WestSteven MacKinnon, Minister of Employment, Workforce Development and LabourShannon Proudfoot, columnist for The Globe and MailPaul Wells, author and podcasterDavid Cohen, U.S. ambassador to Canada

Donald Trump's path to victory hinged on seven swing states. He won five decisively, and is leading in the final two. Republicans now control the Senate, are on track to control the House, and for the first time since 2004, a Republican president won the popular vote, too.Immigration was one of the key issues among Trump voters — 37 per cent saw it as the most important issue in the election. It was also one of Trump's biggest talking points at rallies, and crucially, at the September debate with Kamala Harris. His notorious line about immigrants eating people's pets in Springfield, Ohio, lit up his supporters — and incited many of them to descend upon the town in droves.Shannon Proudfoot is a feature writer for the Globe, and she went to Springfield in the days leading up to the election. She's on the show to talk about the Springfield she got to know – behind all the hype – and how the story of Springfield can help us understand how the issue of immigration played out among voters across the country.Questions?

As another very busy and consequential year in Canadian politics wraps up, test how much you remember with our year-end quiz. This year, host Catherine Cullen will gather a crack team of political wonks to see how they fare. Murad Hemmadi of The Logic is back to defend his title of champion from last year, but he faces stiff competition from Shannon Proudfoot of The Globe and Mail and the National Post's Christopher Nardi.

With the House of Commons set to rise, our national affairs panel discusses why MPs are divided on calls for a ceasefire in the Middle East, how party leaders are polling with the public, and what lies ahead in 2024. Matt Galloway talks to host of CBC Radio's The House Catherine Cullen, National Post parliamentary reporter Ryan Tumilty and Globe and Mail feature writer Shannon Proudfoot.

Our national affairs panel discusses how the Israel-Hamas conflict is playing out in Canadian party politics; and looks at ongoing tensions with India. Matt Galloway puts the questions to the CBC's Rosemary Barton, the Globe and Mail's Shannon Proudfoot and the National Post's Catherine Lévesque.

Shannon Proudfoot quoting Pierre Poilievre in Sault St Marie where he is misinforming the audience about a waitress he knows nothing about. So nothing he says makes any working class person think the Conservative leader is any thing but a class warfare fraud. Quoting the fraudulent oppo leader. ”I don't know her personal story, but let's say that she has three kids,” he said. “And let's say that she earns $60,000, 25 bucks an hour.” At this point, several people even in that extremely friendly audience made little strangled noises of surprise and confusion, the human equivalent of a record-scratch sound effect. A waitress in a blue-collar Northern Ontario city pulling down a cool $60,000 a year? The median income of everyone in Sault Ste. Marie – including the lawyers, the doctors, the teachers and all the people who work in the service industry or manufacturing jobs like Algoma Steel – was $40,800 in 2020. The average annual income of people working in the food service industry across Canada was $21,175 last year. All this is in a Shannon Proudfoot column in the Globe and Mail. The columnist is being kind, bordering on charitable to Poilievre's knowledge deficit. As someone with Blue Collar blood coursing through every single vein and artery, every time I hear Poilievre trying to relate to working class Canadians, it's like watching a child trying to skate for the first time. This is Saturday August 12th. World Elephant Day. A reminder that No one in the world needs an Elephant tusk but an Elephant! Authorities have warned it will take many years to repair the damage caused by wildfires on the island of Maui. More than 1,000 buildings have been destroyed in Lahaina alone. Official Death Toll is 80. But many more are missing and the number of dead will, like an incoming Pacific wave, get much larger.

Same for vaccine passports and most masking requirements. But the alienation and anger that lay underneath the movement seems to remain.Ottawa reporter Shannon Proudfoot discusses what some of the participants of the convoy think about it now, and whether another version of this protest could pop up again.Questions?

Pierre Poilievre won the Conservative leadership race with more support on the first ballot than any previous leadership candidate for the Conservative Party or its predecessors. It was a big win.His first week, though, did not go so smoothly after one Quebec MP, Alain Rayes, quit caucus, citing Poilievre's tone and style of politics as the reason. That the party had to subsequently apologize for text messages sent to party members in Rayes's riding asking them to call his office to voice their displeasure made Rayes's point for him.Meanwhile, at a Liberal caucus retreat in New Brunswick, Justin Trudeau announced new measures meant to provide relief from inflation — an issue Poilievre has been hammering the government over for months. Jagmeet Singh of the NDP was quick to claim credit.So it's been a bit of a week.To discuss it all, I'm joined this week by the CBC's Aaron Wherry, Shannon Proudfoot, reporter with The Globe and Mail and Supriya Dwivedi, Director of Policy and Engagement at the Centre for Media, Technology and Democracy, and Senior Counsel for Enterprise Canada.

Today, in the second part of our two-part deep dive on Poilievre, the Globe and Mail's Shannon Proudfoot returns to talk about the leadership campaign he ran, the criticism he's faced and where the Conservative Party could go from here. Plus, we hear from more supporters on the floor of the convention about what they think Pierre Poilievre's Canada will look like, his "angry" reputation and whether they think he'll change, now that he's leader, to broaden his appeal.

Pierre Poilievre is the new leader of the Conservative Party of Canada. We discuss his landslide victory and where he'll take the party, with Catherine Cullen, the new host of The House on CBC Radio One; Globe and Mail reporter Shannon Proudfoot; and journalist Jen Gerson, co-founder of commentary website The Line.

Politics doesn't take a summer vacation.In the Conservative leadership race, Pierre Poilievre seems to be cruising toward a victory in September but Jean Charest isn't throwing in the towel just yet. What will the results mean for the future of the party?For the Liberals, the summer hasn't been going great. From passports to airports and Ukraine, various problems keep dogging the government. Will this just be a summer Justin Trudeau will want to forget or the first signs of serious trouble?This week on The Writ Podcast to discuss all this (and more), I'm joined by journalist Shannon Proudfoot and Supriya Dwivedi, Director of Policy and Engagement at the Centre for Media, Technology and Democracy, and Senior Counsel for Enterprise Canada. She's also the co-host of the Seriously Podcast.(Note: The news that Pierre Poilievre isn't interested in attending the third Conservative debate came out after we recorded.)The Writ is a reader-supported publication.

It wasn't the nasty affair that we saw last week, but Wednesday's Conservative leadership debate still had its moments — and sound effects! It was like a game show, and like a game show there will only be one winner.Pierre Poilievre entered the debate as the front runner, chased by the likes of Jean Charest, Patrick Brown and Leslyn Lewis. Unlike the first debate, though, this was not a head-to-head match between Poilievre and Charest. Instead, there were entire stretches of the debate in which Poilievre could do nothing but stand on the sidelines as the audience sat riveted by the epic duel between Roman Baber and Scott Aitchison over their agreed positions on what to do with Canada's North.Can such a scattershot debate have much of an impact on this Conservative leadership contest? The Writ is a reader-supported publication.
