- 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!

Podcast Addict57 months agoJoseph Valenti- What David Frum gets right
Catherine’s interview with David Frum related to Build Canada really brings to light the truth. Mr. Frum got this narrative right. The federal government is finally focusing on the need to focus on a united path that will allow us to build projects of national interest. This takes courage and discipline. I agree with Mr. Frum. Small groups should never be given a veto on the initiatives that will bring a better life to the majority of Canadians.
