    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.

    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.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Dan Arnold & Zain Velji: Is Alberta Finally Up for Grabs?
Q: Should the federal government get into a fight with Danielle Smith over healthcare?
Arnold opposes a confrontation but supports federal action because many Albertans oppose two-tier healthcare measures. Velji recommends setting a clear boundary on access to care without escalating into a feud.
Dan Arnold & Zain Velji: Is Alberta Finally Up for Grabs?
Q: What happened in the Alberta referendum?
The guests say separatist support remained around 25 percent, but the campaign energized federalist turnout and revealed fractures among conservatives. Smith's nine additional questions weakened, with four losing and the immigration questions facing opposition in major cities.
The Chiefs: A Country Spoiling for a Fight
Q: What should Prime Minister Carney say in Alberta during the final week of the separation referendum campaign?
The panel suggests emphasizing continued cooperation and shared economic projects, while encouraging undecided voters to participate and addressing concerns about the referendum's immigration-related questions.
The Chiefs: A Country Spoiling for a Fight
Q: How should the federal government prepare to respond to Quebec's new Parti Québécois government?
The panel contrasts direct confrontation with a strategy of addressing the government's grievances, while noting that symbolic disputes over immigration, secularism and Quebec's jurisdiction may be difficult to resolve.
Andrew MacDougall: Can Democracy Survive the Attention Economy?
Q: What would you do about the attention economy if you were in politics?
MacDougall recommends addressing the business incentives rather than focusing only on content moderation. His proposals include paid social media options, ending mass anonymous accounts while protecting vulnerable sources, and applying competition and product liability laws to platforms' addictive design.
