Canada2 months ago Interesting but fustrating that journalist don't research and include what was found , this episode talk about online trolls demanding Lake of America items nice to know if there Hegseths army of trolls or patriotic citizens. It's frustrating that Canadian Journalist aren't interested in whats actually happening.
Podcast Addict42 months agoKen W.- Too much editorializing
“He says Canada had additional requests, wanted too much. The Prime Minister says it is the Americans who started changing things at the 11th hour. Do you view this as a difference of opinion or dishonesty?”
What a loaded question. Why is the host attempting to frame the interviewee’s response for her? I’m not anti-cbc but this is just egregious.

I’m really enjoying your summer series on food security! Interesting to hear about Canadian innovators (and their challenges) in a variety of sectors related to food. Thank you for this!
Apple Podcasts5AnaanatiaqCanada2 months ago - Really excellent podcast
I’ve been a longtime listener of many other Canadian politics podcasts, but this might be my new favourite. The production quality is high, it’s well-researched and informative, and Catherine Cullen is an excellent host and interviewer. Guests are always good and the editing is top notch. Highly recommend this!
