This is a good show. However. Vassy Kapelos is very *very* very very fixated on pipelines. Very. Very very. She kinda twists everything into oil patch talk.
Normally, this show is fairly well balanced and nothing seemed too odd. Until Wednesday January 14 2025 when Vassy used the phrase “New World Order” referencing Melanie Joly’s comment, which I cannot find yet and if I do I’ll delete this post. A full day before Mark Carney uttered that exact phrase in front of the CCP in Beijing. Please clear this up for me and I’m more than happy to be entirely wrong on this. 😬
I’m very impressed with Vasssy Kapelos, she’s asking and sticking with great questions. She has a very professional manner. No mater which party you stand with it’s very worth while to listen to this program. Thank you for what you’re producing.
She asks much tougher questions than the cbc show and actually tries to pin the guests to answer them. I wish she would stop saying “ with all due respect “
You quoted Bolton in the bottom banner before Bolton even made the quote. You obviously have an agenda. Try to be smarter.
