- Great podcast
Insightful perspectives by seasoned analysts on Canadian politics. Views are mainstream but reflect both liberal and conservative spectrums and focus on provincial sensitivities. The panel udoes not shy away from criticizing either the government or opposition parties when warranted. Great job.

Canada3 months ago - Not posting episodes in a timely manner
I’ve been a regular listener of At Issue for years and while I like the panel, I am noticing that episodes are no longer appearing in the Apple Podcasts app for days. I see them posted to YouTube within an hour of the broadcast. By the time they show up here it’s old news. Please respect your podcast listeners CBC News!
Apple Podcasts2rexranaCanada4 months ago - Excellent Political Analysis & Commentary
This show is fantastic. I greatly appreciate the depth of knowledge and experience the entire panel bring to the table; often offering unexpected and interesting perspectives on what originally appear straightforward issues. The format of friendly disagreement for sharing of ideas is a real pleasure to listen to in these highly polarised and combative times.
