Day One of the Carney administration reveals a much smaller cabinet, almost half the size of previous ones of late. But is this all about optics or does it really mean a slimmer, more accountable and effective "war" cabinet for the fight ahead?
We always get letters when we ask for them but never quite like this week. The question was the old fallback --What's On Your Mind? Well, you responded in record numbers. The Random Ranter stays single focused too.
1The Moore Butts combo is back with a big question -- how do you cut government waste and does Elon Musk have the answer?
Bruce Anderson and Fred Delorey drop by for a Smoke Mirrors and the Truth episode that deals with what is now a daily issue -- how to deal with the Trump Factor in A Campaign?
Janice Stein's regular Monday visit to The Bridge tackles a number of key foreign affairs issues starting with the impact a new Canadian prime minister will have on the relationship with the United States. It's now Mark Carney versus Donald Trump --- should that make a difference?
In two days, Liberals will have a new leader, and the country will know who their next Prime Minister will be. It's a huge decision and the consequences for the party and the country are significant. That and a lot more on this week's Good Talk.
We could be facing a national election in days and at that point control is in your hands. So, here's the question of the week: what qualifications are you looking for that make a good politician?
Encore episode. It was brutal, unprecedented and shocking -- but what happens now? The exchange between Trump and Zelensky with J D Vance playing a supporting role was one for the history books. Dr Janice Stein from the Munk School at the University of Toronto makes her regular appearance to give us her assessment.
Canada is in a series of high stakes political races, for party leadership, for an upcoming national election. But is there any focus more important than Donald Trump and the damage he could cause from tariffs and annexation talk?

So much for Britain's PM Keir Starmer. Given the chance to stand up for Canada with Donald Trump by his side, Starmer instead left Canada, his Commonwealth ally, twisting in the wind. How bad does that look? Does it even matter?
There's no doubt that many Canadians are buying Canadian when they hit the grocery, hardware or clothing stories. But where do you draw the line?
Dr Janice Stein has been globetrotting again, to Japan, South Korea and Taiwan and she's got some great stories to tell about how the other side of the world is dealing with Trump 2.0. Can we learn from what they're doing?
Enter the Fred DeLorey/Bruce Anderson spin room as we deconstruct elements of last night's French language liberal leadership contender's debate. There were various moments, and especially one, where views differ and they are worth discussing.

Blaming the media is a common tactic when you feel your competition is getting better coverage than you are. Is that why some Conservatives are saying Mark Carney is getting a free pass from the media in his campaign for the Liberal leadership?
The question is simple, "if you were writing to an American friend, what would you say about the current situation between our two countries?"
While Canada is being beaten up, and its sovereignty questioned, both by Donald Trump, what are our friends and allies saying? Anything? Why the silence?
The Moore Butts combo is back with a big question -- how do you cut government waste and does Elon Musk have the answer?
An encore of that's the focus of this week's Your Turn and your letters aren't shy. Neither is the Random Ranter.

obviously the media should not be accepting "donations" from those they're to be objective about.
is this mistakenly a reposting of an earlier podcast?
why would you have Gerry butts on he wants to see the overthrow of Canada he's the one who tells Trudeau what to do because we know Trudeau does not have a mind of his own Gerry butts is doing the bidding of Klaus Schwab
Please interview UBC's Prof. William Rees re: climate change and ecological overshoot. 🌎⌛ Thx. 🙏
Please YouTube Rupert Read or Roger Hallam. or UBC's Prof. William Rees. This situation DOES NOT improve with time. Please. 🙏
Listen to Roger Hallam. "Advice to Young People as they face Annihilation" Just for starters..
Keep in mind that this is a purely OPTIONAL 4th wave driven by anti-vaxers and the hesitant. Making a big fuss about calling an election during this "4th wave" makes no sense (especially to the 80+% of people who have the shot).
Shots fired at Joe Rogan listeners. 🤦♂️ Sad.
Read "The War on Normal People" and accelerate UBI.
Typical political answers right out of the gate. 🤦♂️

Smart lamp surveillance dystopia... 👎
Kenny is a racist dummy.
Ian Bremmer is #YangGang
