  • Horrible stuff. So much left leaning bullshit you could fertilize a farm for a year with it.

  • Absolute rubbish. Podcast claims to be "critical thinking in critical times", but is nothing but a gushfest for Mark Carney. Even the CBC doesn't fawn all over Carney the way this guy does. This podcaster also routinely deletes comments on his YouTube channel that don't fit his extreme left-wing narrative. If that's your thing, go for it. The rest of us...hard pass.

  • Absolute nonsense

    Podcast claims to be "critical discussion in these critical times", but is nothing more than a gushfest for Mark Carney. Even the CBC doesn't fawn over Carney the way this guy does. If you want to listen to an old guy in his den ramble extreme Liberal ideology, then this podcast is for you.

  • One of the greatest Canadian political podcast

    Bill does a great job at analyzing the Canadian political landscape. Honest in his assessments, he provides journalistic rigour, sobriety and experience. I love the show. He’s a pillar and a lighthouse in Canada’s occasional political fog.

  • Arthur in the city

    Progressive conservatives voted for Carney because of the negativity from the right and if you ask AI how many comments are written by BOTs will shock you.

    The algorithm is cultivating fear and hatred.

    But like all things in evolution I’m hoping we’ll develop an immunity before it’s too late
