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.
Love the new addition of Saturday Podcast “America First” with Paul Katie and Willy - a welcome addition to CBC Washington politics
No thanks, you just flooded my zone. Who wants to hear more bla bla about the US
Always lively, thoughtful, humorous, and respectful discussion of alternative viewpoints on current Canadian events. “At Issue” is a real touchstone for political passion and compassion. Thank-you!
I enjoy this show and I respect the perspectives from the different hosts. However, I think the show would benefit from more input from a western and conservative perspective. Quebec gets an overstated place at the table, but what about the other side of the country?
