  • Best podcast on Canadian Issues

    It’s so hard as a Canadian to find good quality news sources that aren’t polemical and partisan. This show is amazing in that Aaron talks to people from all different perspectives and asks them the tough question but always with grace and candour. Highly recommend!

  • One of the best conversations in Canada

    Shoutout to Aaron Pete! He is having the conversations that most people avoid, and doing it the right way: calm, fair, and genuinely respectful of the people he disagrees with. Easily one of the best interviewers in Canada right now!

  • My new favorite podcast

    I found Chief Pete randomly searching for different perspectives regarding Truth and Reconciliation. I’ve found his approach to honest dialogue to refreshing and useful. Keep up the great work Aaron. We need people like you in politics. I hope that’s in your future.

  • An excellent show

    Mr Pete does a fantastic job of approaching and exploring the difficult topics and challenges we need to confront. He presents his views with such eloquence and logic that it’s hard to disagree and impossible to not respect.

  • A little uncomfortable

    I have recently become a fan of the podcast. I don’t always agree with what Aaron or his guests have to say, but that edge, that sitting with being uncomfortable always pays dividends for me and how I think about the topics at hand.

    Aaron does a great job of asking thoughtful and tough question and makes his guests stretch for complete answers. I also enjoy his monologue podcasts as they are well researched and fair (a value very important to me).

    Thank you sir!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

287. Fabian Zuleeg: Can Canada and Europe Stand Up to Trump?
Q: If the United States puts economic pressure on Canada to discourage these closer ties, what should Europe actually be willing to do, even if supporting Canada carried a cost for European businesses?
Zuleeg says the cost would come from the Trump administration's actions, not from cooperation itself, and argues that partners should stand together rather than yield to coercion.
287. Fabian Zuleeg: Can Canada and Europe Stand Up to Trump?
Q: From Europe's perspective, what makes Canada worth a much closer relationship right now?
Zuleeg says Canada and the EU face a more challenging world and can strengthen one another through economic complementarities and shared principles.
288. Tim Caulfield: Why Have Canadians Lost Trust in Experts?
Q: Who would you blame for the polarization?
Caulfield points to rage-driven algorithms, influencers and political or state actors who benefit from distrust. He says vaccine mandates were debated as extraordinary measures, and that polarization turns disagreement into hostility toward the opposing side.
288. Tim Caulfield: Why Have Canadians Lost Trust in Experts?
Q: Who can we trust anymore?
Caulfield says trusted voices still exist, but public trust varies across communities and the information environment makes it harder to identify reliable sources. He argues that much current distrust is manufactured by influencers and other actors who benefit from it.
284. Elenore Sturko: CentreBC Leader on SOGI, DRIPA and the BC Conservatives
Q: What are your thoughts on DRIPA? Should we amend it, repeal it, modify it?
Sturko says CentreBC wants to move away from legislation that has created uncertainty, while respecting First Nations rights and pursuing treaties and direct government-to-government relationships that provide clarity for First Nations, municipalities, and property owners.
