  • Ads interspersed with political commentary.

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

  • The Chiefs

    Good day - please remind Mr. Topp that the only reason the NDP won in Alberta is because of vote splitting on the right. No amount of money spent by the right was going to over come that.

    Money for campaigns is the thing. Without it it’s hard to get any messaging through.

    I enjoy your podcast / the Chiefs are great

  • So funny and insightful

    Great interview with Mark Critch. It shows the value of political humour that can bring people together in a respectful way.

  • Rahm Emanuel

    Kinda discouraging discussion with Rahm Emanuel. In spite of David’s efforts to illicit some thoughtful conversation, Mr Emanuel remained combative, pretty arrogant and unable to look at the US in any way other than the current over the top misplaced patriotism. The US is in a sad, discouraging and dangerous place. Good try by David to keep going with the interview when ultimately I found your guest rude and dismissive.

  • Herle Burly

    David, where were you in Grade 11, when class was discussing Shakespear’s MacBeth? The opening scene in Act one reads: “When shall we three meet again. In thunder, lightening or in rain? When the hurlyburly’s done, when the battle’s lost and won.” That MUST be where the name of your Pod comes from?

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Remembering Elly Alboim: Rebroadcast of "Media & CBC News with Alboim and Fox"
Q: Elly, how meaningful are the subsidies the government is providing to other journalism organizations?
If the CBC disappears and the business case against traditional media continues, there will be no other organization that can step in, unless the government provides support.
Remembering Elly Alboim: Rebroadcast of "Media & CBC News with Alboim and Fox"
Q: Elly, what are we supposed to do with the fact that even if Johnson is correct and the journalists were wrong on the details of all of their stories, they were still kind of fundamentally right about the big story?
The fact that the stories themselves were inaccurate does not take away from the aggregate effect of them being true. We wouldn't have known about Chinese interference if those stories hadn't been written.
Governing Through One Crisis After Another with The Chiefs: Brodie, Murphy & Topp
Q: What impact do you think outside appointments have on the public service morale?
There may be concerns about outside talent overshadowing traditional public servants, affecting morale.
François-Philippe Champagne, Canada's Minister of Finance
Q: How does a minister who truly believed in the Trudeau agenda now truly believe in the Kearney agenda?
The world has changed significantly, which necessitates adapting to new conditions and redefining our trading relationship and priorities.
François-Philippe Champagne, Canada's Minister of Finance
Q: Is there any more that government can do about affordability?
Affordability is tied to productivity, and improving productivity through technology is essential for addressing the affordability crisis.
