Episode Details

It’s midweek and the temperature is rising in Ottawa.

Today we tackle a growing concern that Canadian politics has slipped into closed-door maneuvering and insider deals. Does democracy still mean something when major decisions feel pre-arranged and accountability keeps getting deferred? Canadians are told to tighten their belts while elites continue to do just fine, and the gap is widening.

We break down military spending promises versus reality, the cost-of-living crisis that still dominates kitchen-table conversations, and what — if anything — the Liberals are actually doing to lower prices. We also look at nationalism versus globalism, government bloat, Alberta’s outsized influence, BC fiscal scrambling, and rising global tensions from Cuba to Iran.

It’s a packed midweek show — and the questions aren’t getting smaller.
