In this week's episode of On The Line, Matt Gurney is joined by Stephanie Levitz from Ottawa. Steph is a senior reporter in the Globe and Mail's Ottawa bureau. They break down the wave of Liberal announcements last week — and why the government will struggle mightily to turn promises into reality.This episode of On The Line is brought to you by Universities Canada. Canada has promised millions of new homes, shorter waits in health care and stronger defence. But promises don't design and engineer roads, staff clinics or secure networks — people do. That's why we need a clear, coordinated system to attract and retain the world's best talent, while creating more opportunities for Canadians. The best and brightest should always see Canadian universities as their first choice. It's time to put talent at the centre of Canada's priorities. The path forward starts with training people — and Canada's world-class universities are ready to lead the way.To learn more, visit Univcan.ca.Then they turn to the Conservatives: Pierre Poilievre's new self-defence and home defence plan is well timed, especially when contrasted with the Liberals' clumsy response. But the party is also deliberately testing the waters on temporary foreign workers. Matt and Stephanie dig into how a modern Western conservative party can navigate the line between legitimate criticism of a specific policy and sliding into anti-immigrant hysteria — and why, so far, Canada's Conservatives have mostly avoided that trap.Finally, a brief check-in on the NDP … which doesn't take long.Oh, and a lot of Ghostbusters references that go right over Steph's head. Matt couldn't help himself. They just ... popped in there.Subscribe at ReadTheLine.ca, follow us on your favourite podcast app, and don't forget to leave us a nice review.

In the latest episode of On The Line, the key issue is why the Conservative campaign is already being rocked by internal fighting — is the campaign going that badly? Our first guest tackles that issue — Stephanie Levitz joins the show from the Globe and Mail, where she is a reporter covering the campaign. Despite all the doom and gloom, the Conservatives are actually having a decent campaign — their polls have softened a bit, but they're still very competitive. What's behind the angry leaks?This episode of On The Line is brought to you by Westinghouse. Canada's energy future is being shaped by the choices we make today. Westinghouse is 100% Canadian-owned and brings the world's most advanced, operational Gen III+ reactor — the AP1000® — proven, safe, efficient, and ready now. It can be brought online within a decade, delivering clean, reliable power when we need it most. Canada needs energy. Westinghouse is ready.Learn more at westinghousenuclear.com/canada.Steph and Matt talk about the CPC campaign to date, and in a lot of ways, it's a great campaign. They also talk about the campaign the CPC planned to have, and why it might be hard for Pierre Poilievre in particular to make a pivot to something closer to what the voters he needs want to hear. They also chat about the recent flood of angry complaints from inside the CPC house, and especially the very public spat between the federal Conservatives and the Ontario Progressive Conservatives — a long-simmering fight that has now spilled out into the open. And for all of that, Matt makes a small confession to Steph: he's starting to get the feeling that the CPC is maybe, just maybe, going to be able to pull off a win after all. He explains why.This episode is also brought to you by the Mêtis Nation of Ontario. It's Moose Factory, 1890. For generations, the Métis had been the backbone of the Hudson's Bay Company, working as trappers, traders, voyageurs, and labourers. But in Moose Factory, they did something even greater — they helped build Canada's original economic engine — the fur trade.   In the blacksmith shop, William Moore's hammer rings as he and other Métis shipwrights form ships, sleds, and canoes to carry goods and furs across vast distances. For decades, the Hudson's Bay Company relied on the Métis' ingenuity, hard work, craftsmanship, and knowledge of the land. It was their work that ensured the success of the fur trade, and their skills that kept Canada's supply lines moving. From shipbuilding to blacksmithing, the Métis of Moose Factory helped build Canada. To learn more, go to OntarioMétisFacts.com.After Matt wraps up with Steph, Gregory Jack, senior vice president of public affairs at Ipsos, joins Matt for a quick update on the latest numbers. Most interesting is signs of a growing divide in Canada. It's not just along partisan lines, or even regional ones. It's generational — people over 55 and under 40 are living in almost totally different Canadas. And if the young people show up and vote — always a big if, but if — it could be a very surprising election day.As always, like and subscribe at our main page, ReadTheLine.ca.

Greg Brady and the panel of: Steve Paikin Author and Broadcaster, host of TVO's ‘The Agenda' Chloe Brown, policy analyst and former Toronto mayoral candidate. Discuss: 1-OK, many are talking about Mark Carney & responses to The Globe & Mail's Stephanie Levitz, & CBC's Rosemary Barton. Let's play the clips and see if you feel this is a tone and a dismissiveness that hurts Mark Carney - the more people who see moments like this? 2-I've never seen polling SO over the map - we're all noticing this, aren't we. Some Ontario Election polls had the Ford government pulling in 92-93 seats, some had them winning closer to 70 - 6 more than a majority. The last three US elections have been all over the place. So how often do YOU trust them? 3-I'm very saddened by the Hudson's Bay story. But I haven't shopped consistently there in maybe….15-16 years. Millions are like me. It was either less convenient or less practical. But is this just….we've moved into a different world. The giant department store can't thrive, and YET, the cheaper “big box” stores do. How do you see it?   4-Have a read at this - real risk for Canadian businesses moving to the States - but isn't there a risk for alienating American businesses here? We're kind of being outwardly….ugly? Towards American businesses that do employ Canadians? Have we done this with any other country in the last 60 years? Countries with abhorrent human rights records to workers in general, women, gay people - we buy their products, we let them play sports here, we don't ban immigrants from those countries - I'm worried that this is turning anti-US, not anti-Trump - what's the line for you? 5-JFK Files today? Why couldn't a better US President do this?!
