This weekly podcast means everything to me. We wouldn't have a political polarization problem in this country if partisans from the different parties dialogued openly the way you guys do. You all have strong opinions but there's an underlying respect for each other and an unquestionable love for Canada that carries through each episode. Keep it up--we need way more podcasts like this!
Young parent here, my wife decided to take a few years off work because it was impossible to find daycare that was less than 60-75$ a day. Every time I hear that the LPC is 'delivering' 10$ a day childcare I get a little angry. I truly feel like I'm being gaslit.
What province do you live in? Because it's the feds providing the funding while the provinces are meant to implement and execute. Some provinces have done a great job and are taking it seriously. Some are refusing to implement it or just doing such a poor job in the hopes of it failing and being repealed. I know lots of people who have access and it saved them especially given the rising prices over the last few years.
Well at least this panel talked about the American election from a Canadian perspective. There is an unhealthy fixation on American politics within Canadian media. I'm more concerned about the emissions cap announced today than the outcome of the election. In a country lacking productivity and economic growth, these Liberal oil and gas policies are soul sucking. Also, to correct Kory, Kamloops has had a Conservative MP since I have lived here. The NDP are at risk of losing their Kootenays, North Coast, and Vancouver Island seats.
The impact of the American election will be felt around the global but in few places moreso than Canada given our close relationship. It's kind of hard to ignore such a consequential event right on our boarder. No matter the outcome we have to be prepared and we will have to work with the incoming adminstration. And I think Canadians should be aware, though it would certainly be nice if as many people paid attention to our own elections. But that's another story all together.
@@stratford374 Korys analysis was correct, in that both Democrats and Republicans are turning into protectionist. From that stand point I'm not going to worry about what I cannot control. Living in Western Canada I am currently more concern about yesterdays announce from the Liberals. At least they were smart enough to announce it on the eve of Americas election so it flew under the radar.
Kory is dead on when he says that Liberals think that they have a comm problem not the governing problem which has been the issue in Canada since 2015 resulted average Canadian is poorer now compared 2015.
I love being called a hillbilly for thinking that in a massive cost of living, this is not a great time for a cut to oil production. Maybe it's time to tell MPs to stop blatantly name-calling voters
People can remember when a full-time job guaranteed that you could afford a 1-bedroom apartment. "We won't go back" is... not the message for these circumstances.
budgets for provincial health services are around 50% or more of total provincial budgets. The numbers are so large, that for many years, ND and Liberal provincial gov'ts have used health service bureaucracies as a place to reward party faithful with high paying positions. This has gone on for so long that these health bureaucracies are bloated with "party refugees" who soak up a significant portion of budgets, and worse, provide poor public health political policy which in turn results in poor public health outcomes.
Here is a slogan to help sink the LPC.... build an add around Trudeau's statement that his #1 job is to keep Canadians safe, followed by a quote by Albert Camus: "The welfare of humanity is always the alibi of tyrants"... ,
The healthcare ad might as well be for the NDP. Betting that the Liberals in the country don't have enough NDP friends to discover that pharma/dental were extracted from the Liberals is... a bold strategy.
I hadn’t seen the Liberal ads yet so watched with anticipation. Verdict: Bland, not persuasive, even the font choice was boring. Unlike Kory it seemed to me that Trudeau was featured a lot more than I expected, in that his blurry figure was visible behind most of the scenes in the first ad - and was that his voice or someone who sounded a lot like him? I’m hoping for more punch in upcoming ads.
A lot of time spent on the slapdash effort of the Liberal ads. All one had to do was compare the comms value of your sponsor's ads and the Liberal's message and it quickly would have been on to the next topic. On balance, good show.
Jordan, I believe some people don't prefer assholes, they just prefer intelligence and we haven't observed much intelligence from Trudeau, just the cult of personality. ick Take a look around at this country of Canada during and after Trudeau and recall what it was like before he got his filthy hands on it and us. Where is the evidence that Trudeau is worth giving another chance? Nowhere!
To state that there's no functional difference between the two candidates in the American presidential election from a Canadian perspective beggars belief. To make the case so strongly speaks ultimately to the political liabilities that stem from sharing so many professional connections within political movements belonging to similar ideological stripes across national boundaries. Pollievre and Trump are not the same, but there's bound to be an overlap with some campaign staff and various professionals. Strictly from a policy perspective, though, Trump's policies would be significantly worse for Canada. The tariffs are only the first item, there's also the plan to essentially crash the economy which Trump has been alluding to in recent rallies which will add to the economic downturn accelerated by the aforementioned tariffs. Essentially surrendering Ukraine to Russia will embolden other autocrats to engage in expansionist behaviour (read Xi's statements years ago that "the problem of Taiwan will not be inherited by the next generation"), the Middle East becomes more likely to see sustained military activity instead of pushing for a truce, and actors like Orban in Hungary and the newly elected Serbian head of state will be encouraged instead of isolated. While there are areas of bipartisan consensus that are detrimental to Canada (see softwood lumber) there are massive differences between the two, and this time the adults in the room to serve as chiefs of staff or defense secretaries will be sidelined for hyper-partisans. The article reads as insiders talking about the resiliency of the bureaucracy, when Project 2025 is explicitly about dismantling the very thing that engenders that misguided insouciance. I get that Kory is brilliant at thinking five steps ahead and trying to defuse the rejection of Trumpism that is shared by a majority of Canadians, and creating an alternate universe narrative that there's no difference between the two candidates. It's clever politically. But it bears no connection to reality, and is a disservice to people watching the pod looking for a nuanced appreciation of what is at stake.
If you watch this pod for “nuanced” takes, you’re in the wrong place 😂😂 The only one who seems to be able to look objectively at things, is David. And I say that as a Conservative.
"Hurley Burleyites"... David H. said recently to Wells & Maher.."We've all met the PM"..implying or asking for a shared appreciation of His intelligence. Mr Hurle isn't distant from a political jester altho he appeared to value the collective assessments of the two Trudeau quasi-novelists. PS; reading Well's book was halted at page 13. This Marxian quartet is comedic if lacking the gentler nuances of political vaudevilleans.
Hogwash. The tariffs are a threat to change behaviour. Not a plan to crash the economy. If Canada met or exceeded their military spending targets and negotiated in good faith on free trade there is nothing to worry about.

The outcome of the US election will affect you 100 times more than whatever emissions cap or any other policy any Canadian party is proposing.

@@stratford374 As long as the Liberals and Democrats lose.

David your “Hey You “ is right on
Brilliant
These ads are terrible. Bringing back COVID is opening a past that no one wants to hear or even think about. It's forgotten to most.
Monday can’t come soon enough. I can’t wait to hear Jordan and Scott cope 😂
If the three liberals are melting down as much about Trump today, I can’t wait to see how they’ll react if he wins again
Can't wait till next weeks podcast.
Me either. Jordan needs a wellness check stat 😂
Hey Liberal ads, no one wants to be taken back to those covid times, That power point is a loser.
I don't want Trump in the White House either, but Jordan and Scott's little freak out was really unseemly, and does nothing to advance their position.
Its because they're scared. Which they should be.
I feel like the liberal ads are nothing but something for political shows to talk about. It isnt an ad when you spend a grand on marketing it lol

Jordan actually Thinks Singh has a strategic chance?? Given his character she should be doing whatever she can to oust that clown.

The level of Trump derangement syndrome on this panel is alarming. Goes to show how easily some people are brainwashed.
The healthcare ad might as well be for the NDP. Betting that the Liberals in the country don't have enough NDP friends to discover that pharma/dental were extracted from the Liberals is... a bold strategy.
The new Liberal campaign slogan: Gutless & feckless. #JustinJustGo Trudeau is more like Trump every day.

Pierre makes a very nice stone to throw at Justin.
I always agree with Kory. He's very insightful, intelligent, and articulate. Prime Minister material.

So Jordan says research shows Pierre will cut Healthcare. What research Jordan? Good show overall.
