Podcast appearances and mentions of Stephen Harper

Over the past decade, there's been much debate around whether Canada's presence on the world stage has diminished. As Canada prepares to host the upcoming G7 summit in Alberta, along with attending next month's NATO Summit in The Hague, is there an opportunity for a Mark Carney led Canada to take on a more prominent role in a shifting global order? Host Steve Paikin asks: Richard Fadden, Former Director of CSIS - the Canadian Security Intelligence Service; Former National Security Adviser to Stephen Harper, and Former Deputy Minister for the Department of National Defence. Adam Chapnick, Professor of defence studies at the Royal Military College of Canada and Co-author of: "Canada First, Not Canada Alone: A History of Canadian Foreign Policy."

Liberal Leader Mark Carney will form Canada's next government, though it remains unclear if he will lead a minority or majority parliament. Matt Galloway digs into what happened overnight, from where the Liberals won and lost, to the collapse of the NDP and Jagmeet Singh's resignation, to Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre losing his seat in the Ottawa riding of Carleton, but insisting he'll stay on to steer the party.Then, former cabinet minister Sean Fraser said that he wouldn't seek re-election, but changed his mind after a call from new Liberal Leader Mark Carney. He tells Galloway about the conversation that convinced him to change his mind, and Carney's promise of a better work-life balance now that Fraser has retained his seat in Central Nova.Plus, how are the winners and losers feeling as the dust begins to settle on a tight race with plenty of surprises? Galloway talks to re-elected Liberal Wayne Long, who was among the first in his party to call for former prime minister Justin Trudeau to step down; Andrew Lawton, author of Pierre Poilievre: A Political Life and the newly elected Conservative MP for Elgin-St. Thomas-London South; and Heather McPherson, the NDP's re-elected MP for Edmonton Strathcona, who some observers are saying could be the NDP's next leader. We also check in with voters and political commentators we met on The Current's election road show to hear how they're feeling about the results.Also, what are Conservatives thinking this morning — and should Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre resign the party leadership? Galloway talks to Peter MacKay, a Conservative cabinet minister in former prime minister Stephen Harper's government, who ran for party leadership in 2020.And Liberal Leader Mark Carney has said he'll govern for all Canadians, but a tight race has laid bare some of the divisions he'll face as he tries to unite Canada in the face of threats from U.S. President Donald Trump. Galloway talks to three people experienced in the challenges of governing Canada: former NDP MP Matthew Dubé, former Liberal MP Martha Hall Findlay, and Conservative Chris Alexander, who served as minister of citizenship and immigration under Stephen Harper.

À l'occasion de sa revue de presse, mardi matin, Paul Arcand passe au peigne fin les résultats des élections fédérales. Avec ses deux experts invités - le chroniqueur Dimitri Soudas, ex-directeur des communications du premier ministre canadien Stephen Harper, et Philippe Léger, chroniqueur politique au 98.5 - il fait le point sur l'élection du libéral Mark Carney à titre de premier ministre du Canada. Ce dernier dirigera toutefois un gouvernement minoritaire. Le PLC a obtenu 168 sièges à la Chambre des communes contre 144 pour les conservateurs. Quant au Bloc québécois, il a remporté 23 sièges. Le NPD a 7 sièges et le Parti vert 1. «Même si le résultat est moins bon qu'escompté pour Mark Carney, c'est quand même un résultat inespéré pour les libéraux. Ils se trouvent aux manettes du pouvoir. Pour Pierre Poilievre [...], ça demeure une défaite dans un contexte où il devait gagner.» -Philippe Léger «La réalité d'hier, c'est que les libéraux ont perdu des plumes à travers le Canada, sauf au Québec. Donc, Mark Carney, ce nouveau chef qui parle un français quand même pénible, a gagné plus de sièges au Québec que Justin Trudeau à l'élection de 2015 quand il a obtenu sa majorité. Hier, le Québec a sauvé le Parti libéral du Canada.» -Dimitri Soudas Le chef libéral a, sans surprise, été élu dans sa propre circonscription, tout comme le bloquiste Yves-François Blanchet, mais le scénario a été tout autre pour Pierre Poilievre et Jagmeet Singh, qui ont été battus.Voir https://www.cogecomedia.com/vie-privee pour notre politique de vie privée

“They don't want to tell us that pain is coming. It's not popular,” says Maxime Bernier, founder and leader of the People's Party of Canada, who is running for Prime Minister. In an interview with Daniela Cambone on Election Day, Bernier outlines the key issues facing Canada: mass immigration, unsustainable debt, and the potential return to a gold standard under his government. He warns that a major monetary reset is already underway, driven by high debt levels in Western nations and the diminishing dominance of the U.S. dollar. Bernier also explores the possibility of a global shift toward a gold-based system for international transactions, which would present challenges for Canadians lacking gold reserves. In 2017, he recalled being “laughed at” by Stephen Harper when discussing the gold standard idea. Watch the video to learn more about his policies and his vision for Canada's future.

Walker, former speechwriter for Jagmeet Singh, and Vice-Chair of the Board of Directors at Broadbent Institute. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Stephen Harper's mediocrity is made to look amazing when compared to Trudeau's regime. For some reason Conservatives will only govern, while liberals will rule.Rachel Gilmore is the personification of liberal media grift in Canada. TruckDrivingPleb is the personification of Conservative media grift in Canada.Trump is the reincarnation of Cyrus the Great. Betrayal is a greater sin than theft.

Three terms and a decisive majority under Stephen Harper. Erin O'Toole's leadership run — and subsequent castigation. Pierre Poilievre's meteoric ascendency to within striking distance of the country's top office.What do these things all have in common? Jenni Byrne, the longtime Conservative powerbroker running Poilievre's campaign, who has moved in the party's inner circles since first joining the Reform Party at age 16.Simon Lewsen recently profiled Byrne for Maclean's. He takes us through her biggest wins, her most crushing losses, and why her unwavering commitment to populist conservative principles has been her greatest strength — but may now have become one of the campaign's biggest liabilities.For transcripts of Front Burner, please visit: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/frontburner/transcripts

Pierre Poilievre propose de ramener les peines consécutives pour les criminels les plus dangereux, une loi d'abord mise en place par Stephen Harper mais qui a été invalidée par la Cour Suprême, en 2022. Pour contourner la décision de la Cour suprême, il n'hésiterait pas à utiliser la disposition de dérogation, ce qui serait une première pour un premier ministre du Canada.

True North was on the ground for what Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre called the biggest political rally in Canadian history. At least 15,000 people packed into an Edmonton warehouse to hear him speak, where he also received an endorsement from former prime minister Stephen Harper. Alberta Premier Danielle Smith flew to Quebec to solidify an autonomy alliance between the two provinces, as both pledge to push back against federal overreach. The Alberta government announced new legislation that could pave the way for a provincial police force as an alternative to the RCMP. And a new poll shows that support for separation would rise in every province if Liberal Leader Mark Carney wins the next federal election on Apr. 28.

Nobel Prize-winning economist Milton Friedman spearheaded the Chicago School, popularizing free-market ideas that reshaped American conservatism. But Canada has its own counterpart: the so-called “Calgary School,” a loose group of University of Calgary academics whose ideas helped shape this country's right-of-centre movement. Their influence can be seen in the policies and perspectives of conservative leaders ranging from Stephen Harper and Danielle Smith to Pierre Poilievre. In this episode of West of Centre Short, host Rob Brown speaks with Barry Cooper — the last active, original member of the Calgary School — about how this informal group challenged Canada's traditional, "Laurentian" political and cultural mindset.

Roy L Hales/Cortes Currents - The following statement was taken from Aaron Gunn's Twitter feed - I am firmly opposed to Putin's heinous and illegal actions in Ukraine, and his oppression of the Russian people within Russia. I have held and articulated these views publicly for years. In early 2014, when I was still in my early 20s, I made foolish comments about Putin and Ukraine. I stopped holding those views a long time ago. Canada must support Ukraine in their defence against Russia's illegal invasion, including by building pipelines to tidewater to displace Russian oil and gas and stop the funding of Putin's war machine. A point I have made consistently in documentaries and viral videos since their second illegal invasion in 2022. Conservatives have a proud history of supporting Ukraine. It was under a Conservative government (Brian Mulroney) that on December 2, 1991, Canada became the first Western country to recognize Ukraine's independence from the Soviet Union. Conservatives were the ones who successfully negotiated the Canada-Ukraine Free Trade Agreement. Stephen Harper led the charge to kick Russia out of the G7 following their invasion of Crimea. I'm proud to continue this legacy of support for Ukraine as they continue their fight against Russia's illegal invasion.

We assembled The Chiefs for a timely pod to discuss campaigning while governing! Typically with The Chiefs, we discuss issues from the perspective of people who think about them NOT as campaigners do, i.e. what might be ideal in a political sense, but rather, what's possible to deliver in a governing sense.But because these guys are 3 of the best political minds in the country, and we're right in the middle of Campaign 45, I want to change it up a bit. We'll spend about half our time today talking about how each of them would be advising the various campaigns given the current state of play. And then, for Part 2, I want to cover how they'd deal with managing a PMO or leader's office in a campaign like this one with actual news in it, i.e. Trump. How do you function juggling campaigning and daily governing in challenging times? What's the relationship with the bureaucracy?You know them, three former Chiefs of Staff to some of Canada's most accomplished heads of government:Ian Brodie – first Chief of Staff to Stephen Harper, and central to the founding of the CPC.

The federal parties are putting the final touches on their election campaigns. What just recently seemed like an easy victory for the Conservatives is no longer so certain. This week, several public opinion polls had the Liberal ahead and in majority territory.  Canada's 45th general election will be an unexpectedly tight race. This week on “It's Political,” Toronto Star Ottawa bureau reporters unpack the strategies of the Liberals, Conservatives, NDP and Greens going into this campaign. Then, three conservative former strategists join Althia to discuss leader Pierre Poilievre's response to new Liberal Leader Mark Carney. Is Poilievre's strategy working? Does it need to change? In this episode: Melanie Paradis, the president of texture communications and a former deputy campaign director to former Conservative leader Erin O'Toole; Rudy Husny, a former Conservative leadership candidate and a former advisor in Stephen Harper's government; Evan Menzies, a vice-president at Crestview Strategy and a former director of communications for the United Conservative Party of Alberta; as well as Toronto Star Ottawa reporters Raisa Patel, Ryan Tumilty and Mark Ramzy.

Michael Healey's award-winning play “The Master Plan” is a biting satire about the Sidewalk Labs fiasco in Toronto, when the Google sister company attempted to build a smart city in an underdeveloped neighbourhood on the city's waterfront. It's based on the book “Sideways: The City Google Couldn't Buy” by tech reporter Josh O'Kane, and it's now being remounted at the Soulpepper Theatre in Toronto. Michael joins Tom Power to talk about the play and the clash of Big Tech and municipal politics. Plus, he reflects on his life in theatre, from the success of “The Drawer Boy” to the controversy around “Proud,” his satirical play about Stephen Harper.

He'll explain the shake up at AIMCo and why the separation of government from public pension funds is at stake. Questions? Comments? Ideas? Email us at thedecibel@globeandmail.com

This week's episode covers a range of topics in the LDS world. The Church has released "Saints, Volume 4," continuing its narrative history series. An early Maori manuscript of the Book of Mormon has been discovered and made available online, offering insights into early translation efforts. The Tallahassee Florida Temple is now open for public tours, expanding the Church's presence in Florida. In media news, Dallas Jenkins, creator of "The Chosen," spoke at a BYU devotional while the Church held its October 2024 Youth Worldwide Broadcast. On a more serious note, a man was arrested for threatening LDS and Catholic church buildings near Cottonwood Heights. The hosts discuss famous Mormon world leaders, including Jacinda Ardern, Scott Morrison, and Stephen Harper. They also touch on lighter topics like a Utah resident's "Secret Lives of Mormon Wives" Halloween display and the AskGramps.org website. Controversial subjects include a review of the film "Heretic," which takes a critical look at LDS missionaries and discussions about anti-LGBTQ rhetoric within the Church. The episode concludes with insights into President Nelson's focus on temple-building and its potential impact on member retention.
