We cover Toronto, Vancouver, and Calgary as well as other municipalities across Canada.
In this Canadian election year, Front Burner will be focusing more on Canadian politics. We will take a close look at Mark Carney’s first few weeks as Prime Minister-Designate, the Conservatives and Opposition Leader Pierre Poilievre as well as other leaders like Jagmeet Singh from the NDP and Quebec’s Yves-François Blanchet from the Bloc Québécois during the 2025 Canadian federal election. The podcast goes beyond Ottawa and digs deeper into major election issues like U.S.-Canada relations, jobs, the economy, immigration, cost of living, housing and rental costs, taxes and tariffs, democracy and technology.

I was originally rooting for Freeland because of Ukraine, but now that the Americans have gone full crazy-pants chaotic-evil and threaten the world's economy with their insane Nazi garbage, the guy who literally rescued the Bank of England is probably the best choice to deal with these psychos.
us boomers are worried about our health care and CPP if Poilivere wins.
I have no clue how to be a fentynol czar. but I remember studying stuff like Czars at schools and it didnt end well. I believe based on my lack of credentials, I would be a perfect counterpart for the USA border czar eh? which way is that one blowing? let me know ~Weather or Not
Love him or hate him, Justin Trudeau is an amazing public speaker.
Hilarious to think ChatGPT could lose its job to AI.
Yikes, how many times did he unironically use the term "Trudeau pesos"?
I would love to make a suggestion. at the end of each episode it would be imeasurablynmore helpful for the overall experience if you were to mention Jim and his last name and credentials and perhaps even where to find him online or maybe not but knowing his name even though I may have missed the broadcast. it's about 10 seconds of radio that could change the world. this was a wonderful broadcast though Jamie. I only suggest this because it is si doable. peace for 🇨🇦
what an a$$hat. I never voted jt either but he was elected by the majority of Cdns to represent us. just cause this jerk has $$ and connections doesn't mean we want him speaking for us. leary should be charged as a meddling Traitor. he did try to run and didn't have support. take a seat buddy.
After political life, I hope Justin Trudeau can find more time to do the types of activities he enjoys (blackface)
no.
poilivere is OUR warning sign. a vote for pp us a vote for putin/modi
you could at least Try to be less bias. Freeland was asked to shuffle - which is normal in gov - she didn't like it and took it out on the PM. yes he handled things badly - can you truly be the one to throw stones at missteps?? I rather doubt it.
yes. yes they are.
what? you just noticed the genocide in Gaza?
Honestly I feel safer with the shooter at large
the right wingers need to be called out on a LOT more than just vaccines imo.
I'm appalled you could say Poilivere isn't the same as trump. they are both products of the IDU that harper runs. they both dislike Trans ppl (many other similarities with groups of ppl) Mike Roman (up on Rico charges with Guiliani) worked on both campaigns. they are BOTH in bed with foreign governments. I always knew you were bias but this stmt is ridiculous imo.
why don't you do a cast about Poiliveres reluctance to get a security clearance AND his connection to Modi/Putin.
Such absurd bias. How is this considered journalism in any way?
Yeah, break up Rogers
