Email us at cdncomsense@gmail.com Perhaps our Prime Minister should have heeded the warning given to Caesar oh so many years ago; he may have had a better week. A listener sent us a video of a "Carney um and ah drinking game" that was quite appropriate in describing our PM with the press. But will Carney have the last laugh by building a majority government with floor crossers? What's happening to our national past-time? Bill C-9 enters the chat, and more!
Email us at cdncomsense@gmail.com While neither of your humble hosts are on a hot vacation right now, perhaps it's Daylight Savings Time that has so many flip-flops showing up with our leadership class. Pierre Poilievre is now a statesman, India is now our friend, the BC Premier knew nothing about the Musqueam agreement even though he was in the front row, CBC funding has now been cut instead of bumped up, and more!
Email us at cdncomsense@gmail.com We may have witnessed the Pierre Poilievre that many of us have been calling for; the Prime Minister in waiting. We'll analyze the speech in Toronto. The Carney is off to Asia to agree to meet again, with his new acquisition in tow, deficit budgets everywhere, and we end the show with a surprise announcement that you didn't see coming. Brace yourselves!
Email us at cdncomsense@gmail.com Sylvain Charlebois, the Food Professor stops by to talk food inflation, trade, even a little politics. Enjoy!
Email us at cdncomsense@gmail.com Well, the Gold Medal hockey game didn't turn out the way most of us wanted, and our show was delayed as we were watching the game, so our apologies. Our takeaway? Let's try not to forget the patriotism associated with that game, as we talk about Alberta referendums, federal floor-crossers, rebuilding our military, and more!
Email us at cdncomsense@gmail.com You can take control of your health care in Canada! Ingrid Gahsner, author of "Off the Waitlist," stops in for a great discussion of the limitations of Canada's universal health care system, how supplemental insurance plans (like employer extended health) and private insurance can fill in the gaps of our taxpayer funded system and keep you off the waitlist. Her website is www.imicanada.co or you can email her directly at info@imicanada.co Tell her you heard about her on Canadian Common Sense!
Email us at cdncomsense@gmail.com We have been asked to share our thoughts on the tragedy in Tumbler Ridge, BC and we will as part of the show. While that has taken up most of the news cycle this week, we also find out that New Brunswick is losing it's francophone identity, a Liberal podcaster is losing his mind, and the "bromance" is back! Ontario's cottage country may be warm and cuddly once more. Enjoy!
Email us at cdncomsense@gmail.com Renaud Brossard stops by to talk about working Seniors' benefit clawbacks, trade barriers within Canada and internationally, and more!
Email us at cdncomsense@gmail.com Stephen Harper's portrait unveiling in Ottawa last week sure had some of us reminiscing of a past era when competent leaders ran the country. In place of that, we have a governing party that still hasn't passed its first budget (with add-ons that you won't like to hear,) EV mandates that they don't want to admit, and help from the opposition benches that they'd rather ridicule than support. Oh Canada!
Email us at cdncomsense@gmail.com If we haven't convinced you yet that a spring vote is coming, Mark Carney, Pierre Poilievre, and even Steve McKinnon, along with a host of media personalities are now making this seem more and more likely. We'll look at the Conservative Party convention, the sudden crossover of pundits, crime, and more!
Email us at cdncomsense@gmail.com We finally got a Liberal to talk to us!!! Former MP and Chretien-era Cabinet Minister Sergio Marchi joins the show to talk about his new book, Pursuing a Public Life, and about the state of politics in Canada. Enjoy!
Email us at cdncomsense@gmail.com Tracey Wilson stops by to update Canadians on the latest news with the firearms confiscation program, exciting news and a new contest at the CCFR, and more!
Email us at cdncomsense@gmail.com One thing Mark Carney told us a year ago is that he knows how to negotiate and that he was uniquely suited to represent Canada's position with Donald Trump. Not only have we seen no evidence of that, our Carney in Chief has also not shown an ability to sign a deal with any other world leader, either. But that speech! That, the deal, Canadians leaving the country, and more!
Email us at cdncomsense@gmail.com We teased out the book Canada Under Siege on the show a few weeks ago, and today we spoke with the author, Garry Clement. If you thought China was a threat to Canada before, this interview will help you realize exactly how real the threat is.
Email us at cdncomsense@gmail.com Will we get to be part of Mark Carney's "new world order?" Does his resemblance to Mr. Burns from The Simpsons make this remark seem more sinister? We'll talk about that, more NDP idiocy, some great feedback from last week, and more!
Email us at cdncomsense@gmail.com While Canada truly has suffered a lost Liberal decade, there are glimmers of hope on the horizon. We say goodbye to Chrystia Freeland, hear David Eby had to change course, Calgary is underwater again, the Woke Right? And more!
Email us at cdncomsense@gmail.com As cringe as it is to title our show with Carney-speak, Lewis wraps today's episode with why this title might be accurate. We have good news from Saskatchewan, scary news from PEI, advice for Conservatives nationally, and more!
Email us at cdncomsense@gmail.com We run through our biggest stories, surprises, and letdowns of the year that was, and share our thoughts on the year ahead. Enjoy!
Email us at cdncomsense@gmail.com Tristin Hopper comes back to chat about his work on Aboriginal Title claims, the guys talk about the direction Canada is headed, and wrap up offering solutions to fix Canada! Enjoy the conversation!
Email us at cdncomsense@gmail.com Other politics shows may have wound down for the holidays, but we'll keep bringing you the biggest stories in Canadian politics. It would seem that Pablo Rodriquez won't get his chance to become Quebec's next Premier, but his city of Montreal may get high speed rail ... years down the road. Or, maybe Alberta will get a west coast pipeline ... but not through BC. Can Doug Ford pull off turning Niagara Falls into "Las Vegas North?" And more!

All politicians w/ connections to the World Economic Forum need 2b removed from office. Including Pierre Poilievre, who someone is trying 2 protect by scrubbing his association 2 the WEF off of the internet. U'll have 2 use the Wayback Machine 2 see what they scrubbed & when it was removed. #cdnpoli or is it #cndpoli
