Description

Alex Pierson is joined by former Conservative MP Michelle Ferreri and Toronto Sun national political reporter Brian Passafiume for a sharp-edged panel on the week’s biggest headlines.




  • Mark Carney’s Asia Trip: Is Canada cozying up to China at the expense of its U.S. alliance? The panel debates the risks of opening the floodgates to Chinese EVs and the mixed messages on trade and security.




  • BC Land-Claims Fallout: A Supreme Court ruling leaves homeowners caught in reconciliation crossfire — could this set a national precedent?




  • Bloated Bureaucracy: Despite a 40 percent jump in federal public-service jobs since 2015, Canadians report worse service than ever.




  • O Canada Controversy: After Rufus Wainwright’s creative take on the anthem, the panel weighs in on whether singers should be required to stick to the actual lyrics.
