  • Commercial Placement

    I really enjoy this podcast. I no longer live in Canada and this podcast does a good job at keeping me in the loop. My only complaint is the commercials are so poorly placed. Often playing them right in the middle of a sentence in the middle of a story. Producer needs to do a better job at placing those between stories. Also, they are so much louder than the rest of the podcast. Other than that keep up the good work.

  • Unfollowing

    CTV cancelled Rachel Gilmore fact checking segment during our 2025 election campaign because of right wing complaints. Obviously they are now very right leaning and not about truth

    Zelenskyy agreed then came in to fight for weapons not to end the war as he agreed. He clearly wanted to propagate tension . Clearly the US is not with Russia . Canada backs them but won’t commit to military weapons or money. Canada has no room to speak or express opinions when they can’t pay the price. Canada needs to get their head straight
