  • The Dream Team of David and Tony 5

    This show is amazing, I believe David fills in for Jim but if Jim ever decides to move on, it should be give to these two! I mix of serious discussion, interviews and then surreal with his foreign correspondent. Always entertaining, sometimes irrational but always hilarious!

    Wish I could listen live more often, but still glad I can get my Jim fix. David Copper isn’t too bad either.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What does your partner do while driving that drives you nuts?
Q: How have tariffs affected sales of American-branded cars among Canadian buyers?
Greg Layson says there is no hard data showing a consumer boycott, but Canadians are buying fewer vehicles made in the United States because automakers have shifted production for Canada to Mexico or other countries to avoid reciprocal tariffs.
What does your partner do while driving that drives you nuts?
Q: Is the reporting about two private career colleges one of the reasons behind the broader decision to change how OSAP is distributed?
John Fraser says the changes affect students across Ontario, including mature career-college students who were approved for loans and then told the funding would not arrive. He argues the government should restore support for eligible students and refer the matter to the Auditor General.
The House of Comments panel breaks down the midterms results
Q: Who has the tougher job, the Democrats deciding on who they want to be, or the Republicans?
Joe Walsh says Democrats have the tougher task: they must investigate the administration while also focusing on issues that matter to voters and advancing legislation.
The House of Comments panel breaks down the midterms results
Q: Will Trump learn anything from this?

Q: Why are polling results especially difficult to trust in close U.S. races?
Wright says some voters, particularly Republicans who distrust polling companies, are hard to reach, while small samples in swing states create substantial uncertainty. Late-counted mail ballots can further affect the result.
