Description

The stakes are high. The campaign is on. Canadians have some big choices to make this federal election. We're here to help with two episodes each week.


On Saturdays, "The House" makes politics make sense. Host Catherine Cullen takes you across Canada for in-depth interviews, reports from the closest contests, and analysis of the week's news — from across the political spectrum.


And on Wednesdays, "House Party" brings you sharp analysis and spirited debate on one big, burning election question. Catherine is joined by CBC political journalists Jason Markusoff, and Daniel Thibeault. They promise their weekly chat is not (only) for politics nerds.


See you at the polls, April 28, 2025.

Conrad is a fine example of why we are in the current state. "I don't watch news", everything is fine, going as planned. I'm okay with people getting hurt we need a shake up. (thinking, as lot as is not me)

Mackenzie BC here. Doug Ford has my support on this issue. His approach won me over. I feel his passion, and I also feel the insult directed squarely at me and every decent Canadian with any sense of Canadian pride. there is not an issue in the world I thought of this man Doug Ford as a Canadian hero. And he will be recorded as such for his contribution to the forceful assertion of my Candian Identity "En'Cha'Huna!"

Shouldn’t the main question be “why this person lives in Canada and using services paid by Canadian taxpayers”?

We believe that refurbishments not only breathe new life into your belongings but also contribute to sustainability by extending the life of existing items and reducing waste. https://lgcgroup.london/home-refurbishment-london/

Don’t make decisions like cap on international students and create another problem for the near future, like shortage in labor resources. Instead of putting a cap on international student visas, put a cap on the number of houses people can buy or tax them heavily, or even better, ban foreign investment on buying and selling homes. Only whoever is really contributing to Canadian society and economy and paying taxes should have the right to buy property in Canada, like Citizens, PRs, student including internationals and people with work permit. They are paying taxes, so they should be the only ones who can buy property, not someone on the other side of the world who is buying a house in full cash over the phone.

I am not a gun owner and not supporting any pro-gun legislations. But I loved the way Catherine told the Liberal MP “that was not my question” when the MP was going to make a speech about his ideology instead of answering the question. More of this is needed to get some real responses from all politicians. Well done Catherine 👌🏼

Ahmed Hussen absolutely doesn’t know what’s going on in his department. Just take a look at the way he handled the backlog of immigration applications when he was minister of immigration and refugees. There was a question Jenny Kwan asked then about some numbers about PR applications and he didn’t have any idea about it. That clup is available on YouTube. Not sure how he is getting new roles on this government

Wow lots of beautiful numbers Minister Fraser mentioned. They put a lot more money to hire more staff to do the same job their department has been doing for a long time. They just changed the deadlines in their department to show things as shiny, like the waiting time for processing Citizenship applications was 12 months till 2 months ago and they suddenly changed it to 27 months (even for the applications submitted when deadline was 12 months) without giving any info about why their staff had delayed the old applications for more than 2 years. They give COVID as the main reason for the delays, but what about several applications still in progress from 2017??? Aren’t you tired of saying all these nonsense Mr Fraser? I can tell you that ordinary citizens and residents are so frustrated. You and your department are one of the main reasons a lot of people don’t have trust in the government anymore. You and your department are one of the main reasons immigrants prefer going to EU these day

it doesn't make sense to take people more since the price of there house rises. A house is not a liquid assets. there's a reason capital gains taxes exist

Canada is not doing good on immigration compared to Europe. Just look at how EU is providing fast and easy work permits to the skilled workers to immigrate there and Canada is not even providing Permanent Residency and Citizenship to lots of entrepreneurs and skilled workers who have been working for years in Canada and paying lots of taxes. Instead, government decided to pour more money to the bucket of IRCC while the IRCC workers were collecting their salaries all these days and not doing what they supposed to do by delaying all the applications under their control. Canadian businesses will pay the price of this in the next 5-10 years for sure.

This is how you answer questions from the media asking if the government's response was good enough. Not with accusations and bluster, but with calm, diplomatic responses.

Holy. Ease up! The woman didn't cause Covid19. It's hardly fair to rub her nose in or when her voice is quavering. She sounded exhausted.

I had to skip this episode because I didn't want to listen to lies from Candice Bergen.

anything you can do to improve the quality of audio when it comes to guests, especially ones who call in? it can be quite hard to hear them.
