  • Zero Substance

    Tried listening to the Calgary Election episode and had to turn it off after 45 minutes. It was obvious that personal opinions were the core of the topics. Topics were lean without substantive information. I was really interested in the topics they started to discuss and then they just went to the next topic. Lots of bro talk not a lot of helpful information. If you are interested in biased opinions with zero facts this podcast will help you decide who you’re voting for.

  • Looking forward to more!

    As someone who doesn’t always feel up to speed on what’s going on in Canada, I already feel like I’ve been able to take away facts and ask my own questions. I love how much they encourage citizens to rise up and make change. I think it was David who said “citizens get the government they deserve.” Let’s start acting like Canadian citizens who deserve better.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why Canada Keeps Choosing Bigger Government | Bruce Pardy
Q: Any initial thoughts on Canada's relationship with the United States and the tariff situation?
Bruce responds that Canada is an immature country in how it handles the US relationship, argues that Canada's response to tariffs reflects a deeper national habit of government-centered policy, and suggests that a more pragmatic, truth-telling leadership is required to pursue a win-win path with the US.
Why Canada–U.S. Relations Are More Complicated Than You Think | Lyndsay Keith
Q: What is the tone of engagement with Canada versus how it's portrayed in media?
Keith notes that while public rhetoric can be tough, the underlying relationship remains pragmatic and deeply interdependent, with both sides interested in a good outcome and avoiding a breakdown in trade relations.
Why Canada–U.S. Relations Are More Complicated Than You Think | Lyndsay Keith
Q: What top things does Trump want out of this deal, and what would constitute a win for him?
The two main priorities identified are narrowing the trade deficit and restoring manufacturing—particularly auto manufacturing—in the US. A deal that delivers on those goals, while preserving leverage, would be seen as a success by Trump.
Why Canada–U.S. Relations Are More Complicated Than You Think | Lyndsay Keith
Q: Was it a big deal in the United States that the trade agreement deadline came and went?
No, Lyndsay Keith explains that it wasn't seen as a major shock in the US; the administration's stance was more about leverage and timing than a sudden collapse of relations or a formal end to trade. The White House position remains to use the clock strategically to push for preferred terms.
Canada’s Future Feels Uncertain… Let’s Talk About It
Q: Generally, is this something that you're concerned about with some of the bills being proposed primarily by the liberal government?
The guest expresses concern that the bills, while framed as protecting safety, could collectively expand state control over online information and speech, leading to increased surveillance, censorship, and regulation that could chill free expression.
