  • Like the show but…

    Tyler Meredith to talk future policy??? He was the guy behind Trudeau lost decade. No creds. Let’s get some real policy chops on the show.

  • Guest suggestion

    You need to interview Peter Tertzakian for a better alternative perspective. Andrew Leach, Mark Macdonald et al are good, but ultimately play for the same team.

  • The chiefs

    Always enjoy the chiefs. Lots of experience among them. Brodie is interesting when stays away from partisanship- could wish he would do it more often.

  • Ads interspersed with political commentary.

    Always topical, interesting and fun. Unfortunately all the ads have almost made it unlistenable.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Frank Graves: Inside Canada's New Political Fault Lines
Q: What measures can be taken to combat disinformation in campaigns?
Implement robust attribution and watermarking for AI-generated content, regulatory oversight through bodies like Elections Canada and privacy commissions, and industry standards (ISO-like) for provenance and identity verification to reduce fraudulent data and restore trust in polls and public discourse.
Frank Graves: Inside Canada's New Political Fault Lines
Q: How is AI affecting polling methodologies and trust in data?
AI is complicating polling by enabling more sophisticated disinformation and bot-driven manipulation; this makes traditional panels less reliable. To counter this, researchers advocate for live interviewing to verify identities, sampling from frames with provenance checks, and considering new standards for authenticity and transparency in data collection.
Frank Graves: Inside Canada's New Political Fault Lines
Q: What is driving the current Liberal lead in the polls despite a volatile political environment?
The liberal lead persists due to a combination of demographic shifts, a large portion of voters absorbing disinformation less from core policy disagreements and more from identity and external risk narratives, plus a realignment where the NDP is absorbing some Conservative voters and the Liberals have maintained a broad coalition that remains relatively intact despite churn.
Anthony Scaramucci: All the Wrong Moves that led to Trump & Why Carney leads the West
Q: What changed for you to publicly break with Trump in 2019?
After seeing him wreck the system and betray core values, I spoke out against him, supported Biden, and tried to help repair the damage as best as I could.
Anthony Scaramucci: All the Wrong Moves that led to Trump & Why Carney leads the West
Q: Why did you go to work for Donald Trump in the first place?
I was drawn by political ambitions and believed it would position me for 2020, but it turned out to be a series of ego-driven decisions that I admitted were wrong and costly.
