Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

BREAKING: Carney Names Old Buddy & ex-Blackrock Exec as New US Ambassador
Q: Could Canada open its dairy market to the U.S. while keeping supply management?
Charlebois suggests a compromise: gradually open the market to foreign competition in a phased plan over 15-20 years, with a focus on making the sector more competitive, especially for dairy, to avoid a collapse, while retaining some protections for eggs and poultry.
BREAKING: Carney Names Old Buddy & ex-Blackrock Exec as New US Ambassador
Q: Explain what the 'dairy cartel' is and how supply management works in Canada.
Sylvain Charlebois describes the dairy sector as protected by quotas and high tariffs on imports, designed to keep prices stable but limiting innovation. He argues the system should be optimized, harmonizing quotas nationally to reward efficiency and gradually open markets without a full dismantling.
Canada's Bondi Beach Crisis: Mass Migration EXPOSED
Q: Break down the story for us. What happened in November last year?
Katie Drake explains the defamation case stemming from social media posts about a university campus incident and the broader context of post content, highlighting legal claims and the ongoing defense, underscoring how online statements can lead to real-world consequences.
Carney LAUGHS at Ford's Reagan "Best Ad Ever" Claim
Q: What are the implications of Bill C-18 on news distribution and tech platforms?
Bill C-18 sought to compel platforms like Meta and Google to pay for news content, which led to platform actions like restricting or blocking news links, affecting smaller outlets and altering the advertising and revenue landscape.
Carney LAUGHS at Ford's Reagan "Best Ad Ever" Claim
Q: Why is Bill C-9 seen as a threat to religious freedom?
Bill C-9 would remove the good-faith defense for expressing religiously grounded viewpoints, which could criminalize certain religious expressions that were previously protected when expressed in good faith.
