Global National: June 4, 2025 | Marc Garneau, the first Canadian in spac...
Marc Garneau, the first Canadian to go to space, has died at age 76. Garneau was also the former transport and foreign affairs minister during part of his 15-year tenure as an MP. Mike Armstrong looks back at Garneau's life and legacy in politics and beyond.
Canada's federal government is mulling how to respond to U.S. President Donald Trump doubling tariffs on aluminum and steel imports to 50 per cent. David Akin explains why it's more likely Prime Minister Mark Carney and the Liberals will try to negotiate with the Trump administration instead of retaliating.
While the weather is cooling in the Prairies, persistent winds are fanning the flames of wildfires across the region. Melissa Ridgen looks at how communities are assessing the damage and how animal rescue groups are sheltering hundreds of pets who need a temporary home during the fire emergency.
Plus, one year after falling at the final hurdle, the Edmonton Oilers are looking for revenge and redemption against the Florida Panthers in the 2025 Stanley Cup Finals. Heather Yourex-West explains why more Canadians are rallying behind the Oilers compared to a year ago.

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
As the week ends thousands of Canadians are out of work because of the Donald Trump tariffs. Thousands more could be soon. But that's not all as grocery prices and a lot more will soon start going up as well. The trade war is on. The question now is how will it impact the federal election campaign as it approaches the halfway mark. Chanrtal Hebert and Rob REusso are here to discuss.

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.
