  • Liberal Party of Canada propaganda

    And some people wonder why public sentiment is in favour of defunding the CBC… This At Issue columnist is so blatantly anti conservative that she makes the other liberals on the panel ( all of them) seem palatable. Crying about P.P. not giving her fodder for her pro liberal agenda articles at press conferences? Gimme a break. Is there an Indeed job category for Government Propaganda Writers she and Aaron Wherry will soon be searching for?

  • So needed

    I first discovered Althia through her panelist work on “At Issue” and always appreciated the insights she brought to the table, and her willingness to be the one to say “the quiet part out loud” when it’s needed! Getting to benefit from her journalism through a whole podcast has been a dream! Highly recommend adding this show to your rotation of political podcasts if you haven’t already. I look forward to every episode. Thank you for the work you do, Althia!

  • Liberal Party bias

    The podcast only really covers the Liberals and NDP. Well produced but lacking balance.

  • sad

    It’s hard to avoid the impression that this is bought and paid for Liberal propaganda. The host seems to be 100% on the Liberal Party of Canada’s side. This is unfortunate, because the production of this podcast is great. A missed opportunity.
