Good Talk -- So Much For The Honeymoon
It's only been a few days since the election but already some signs of discontent on Parliament Hill. Conservatives sure, that's expected. But some Liberals who thought they should be in cabinet aren't, and they aren't happy either. Is this all meaningless inside the Ottawa bubble stuff or is it something Mark Carney should watch out for? That and a lot more with Chantal Hebert and Rob Russo on Good Talk.

Good Talk -- Reality Sinks In ... This is Going to Hurt

Good Talk -- Does Smaller Mean Better?
ay 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? Chantal and Rob tackle that question along with the latest rumblings about what's really happening in the chaotic trade talks with the United States.

Jordan Peterson interviewed Pierre Poilievre. I watched the whole thing.
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre recently sat down with fellow angry nerd Jordan Peterson for a conversation that threatened to destroy what’s left of my sanity.
Seriously, though, over the course of the hour and forty minute interview, Poilievre exposed some genuinely worrying ideology and exposed several of the flaws in his economic logic.
It’s an immediate red flag when someone takes Peterson seriously.
It’s even worse when they sit down with him and discuss how “wokeism” is the real cause of hate crimes (yes, he said that) and call people concerned about climate change “environmental loons.”
I watched the entire thing. I barely made it out alive.
Please enjoy the fruit of my pain.
