  • Less Bias

    Clearly these are two pro-Israel voices. Saying that there are still hostages is a ridiculous argument to make— they are still hostages because Netanyahu keeps refusing to negotiate and is expanding the war and annexing more territory in: the West Bank, Gaza, the Golan Heights and Syria— all illegal actions under international law.

    Maybe it’s time to separate the state of Israel from the Jewish diaspora. Can anyone explain to me how you can form a truly democratic state based on a single religi... more

  • So excited!

    I’m a bit biased because I will listen to anything involving Steve Paikin. He’s an excellent journalist and interviewer. His discussions are always deep, bipartisan, analytical, and interesting. His interviews are cordial and respectful, but never softball either. I’m really looking forward to seeing where this goes.

  • Interesting

    Good luck to Steve on the new podcast. He is a fair voice in the increasingly biased media universe. So far his guests have been the usual establishment types - many who have a left wing bias and based on the most recent episode suffer from TDS. Hopefully future guests will be more balanced.

    Soooo good !!!

    As always, Steve provides remarkably balanced, objective and insightful news stories and timely interviews.

    He remains the MOST respected journalist in Canada, and an interviewer extraordinaire.

    He is in my mind, a Canadian National Treasure.
