Canadian Common Sense

A weekly podcast discussing Canadian politics and current events from the perspective of two average Canadians.

Episode 320 - The Pulp Fiction Show

For those of you who are familiar with the classic movie, you'll get that we will cover topics on the same time line but through different perspectives, as everything intertwines this week. Chrystia Freeland drops a resignation instead of a Fall Economic Statement, Justin Trudeau drops a new Cabinet, not including Mark Carney, Pierre Poilievre drops a dare to the Governor General, Jagmeet Singh drops some tough words, and we will actually bring you the Fall Economic Statement. We close with an epic Lewis rant, some AI entertainment, and more!

Episode 319 - The Silly Season

The later days of any session in Parliament is often referred to as "The Silly Season" as little business gets done, but this has actually been what this whole session has been about. Today we talk Canada Post, more on the latest firearms ban, BC government is back to work, we try to calm the fears of legacy media, and more!

Episode 318 - The Maserati Marxist

Thank you to Pierre Poilievre for the term! Jagmeet Singh has become a caricature of a feckless politician: is it time for him to go? Just in time for the anniversary of Ecole Polytechnique, another gun confiscation announcement. You can bet Lewis is less than impressed. Arif Virani has offered to split C-63 to get it passed, but will it see the light of day? And more!

Episode 317 - Let's try a different path

It's no news that government is incompetent. The GST holiday has passed, but how much will it help? And how did it get passed? Why did it take a social media post from Donald Trump to get Canada's leaders to take their jobs seriously? Lewis unloads on government, Danielle Smith takes on Stephen Guilbeault, and more!

Episode 316 - Christmas D'Oh!

About that GST cut you've been promised? You may not see that, and we'll tell you why not. And that $250 cheque in April? Will that buy your vote in a Spring election? Alberta looks at changes to auto insurance, while their Opposition Leader can't insure himself a seat in the Legislature, riots in Montreal, Trudeau puts on his dance moves, and more!

Episode 315 - Memorable Remembrance

Grey Cup Sunday! Vancouver has put on an amazing show to welcome Canada to our annual showdown for Canadian football supremacy. What's less than amazing is some Remembrance Day ceremonies across Canada. Randy Boissonault is back in the news, Nova Scotia's election is far from boring, a bombshell in the Hogue Inquiry, and more!

Episode 314 - Lest We Forget

It's a little surprising, and disturbing that Remembrance Day isn't a national stat holiday. The importance of those who have served this country seems to be fading these days, and one school in particular really dropped the ball on this one. A US election that has consequences for Canada, diversity in our streets, and more!

Episode 313 - MAID in Quebec

While Quebec always plays an outsized role in Canadian life, do we want them playing an outsized role in our deaths, too? Enter Bill 11. BC finally has a decision, but do they have a government? A close call for Saskatchewan, is Trudeau going down? And more!

Episode 312 - Crickets ...

Not only is that what we hear from Justin Trudeau on his resignation, but that's also what the government wants us to eat, allegedly. We'll talk about the Pandemic Preparedness Act, election updates, The Stephen Guilbeault apology tour, Trudeau won't go, and more!

Episode 310 - Crying over spilled milk

Episode 309 - Time for a change

With two of three provinces going into advance polls, and everything else in this country, it's a no brainer that things have to change. Quebec has gone insane, ER waits are through the roof, "death to Canada" chants? We wrap up with advice for Justin Trudeau, and more!

09-22
01:09:32

Episode 301 - D'Oh Canada

Sometimes the government is so far behind they think they're ahead. The Liberal caucus retreat is over, and everything is fine, other than a "Special Advisor to the Prime Minister." Water gun assault, BC Premier waffles on carbon taxes, migrants on the move? 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
