    Nothing intelligent or analytical . Just grabbing onto right wing propaganda and complaining for engagement.

  • Honest and badly needed

    Every political party, company or organization needs a hard working person from Saskatchewan or British Columbia to explain how government policy impacts people. Get out of Ottawa and give these guys a listen. Right leaning? Sure. But honest? Absolutely.

  • Good stuff

    Good podcast to pass the time. All the 1 stars are liberals who hate opinions that don’t match their own.

  • Making lefties cry

    This is another great Canadian podcast. Need evidence? Just read the crybaby lefty comments. If you’re not offending leftists and living rent free in their heads, you’re not trying hard enough.

Frequently Asked Questions About Canadian Common Sense

What is Canadian Common Sense about and what kind of topics does it cover?

Two Canadian hosts deliver a weekly, opinionated take on federal and provincial politics, energy policy, and current events from a prairie‑west viewpoint. Across recent episodes they critique government spending, push for fiscal restraint, discuss regional autonomy movements (notably in Alberta), and weave in sports banter and cultural commentary. The tone is candid, combative, and humor‑driven, with a focus on accountability, transparency, and regional influence in national decision‑making. The show is likely to appeal to listeners who prefer direct, skeptical takes on policy and governance, framed by lived Canadian experiences and a distinct Western perspective.
