Charlie Angus: “Gangster Fascism,” Canadian Unity, and NDP’s Future

Welcome to the first collaboration between The Paikin Podcast and Charlie Angus’s Meidas Canada. Steve and Charlie get into how we should understand this moment in history, how we are in a “new age of monsters,” and the rising authoritarian threat. They then discuss fears they have for the future of Canada, the two separatisms in Alberta and Quebec, whether Avi Lewis was the right choice for the NDP, where the NDP goes from here, and whether the left can build a durable populism that can rival right wing populism.  Subscribe to Meidas Canada’s YouTube [https://www.youtube.com/@MeidasCanada] Charlie Angus Substack [https://substack.com/@charlieangus] Support us: patreon.com/thepaikinpodcast [patreon.com/thepaikinpodcast]   Follow The Paikin Podcast:   YOUTUBE: http://www.youtube.com/@ThePaikinPodcast [http://www.youtube.com/@ThePaikinPodcast] SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/1OhwznCIUEA11lZGcNIM4h?si=b5d73bc7c3a041b7 [https://open.spotify.com/show/1OhwznCIUEA11lZGcNIM4h?si=b5d73bc7c3a041b7] X: x.com/ThePaikinPod [x.com/ThePaikinPod] INSTAGRAM: instagram.com/thepaikinpodcast [ instagram.com/thepaikinpodcast] BLUESKY: bsky.app/profile/thepaikinpodcast.bsky.social [bsky.app/profile/thepaikinpodcast.bsky.social]   Email us at: thepaikinpodcast@gmail.com

Everything Political: Did Carney Miss the Mark on Antisemitism in Canada?

In a special episode recorded in front of a live audience at The Albany Club, Greg Brady joins the Everything Political panel with former MPs Martha Hall Findlay and Tony Clement to discuss Carney's speech on antisemitism — whether it hit the mark, why he didn't mention anti-Zionism, and whether Israel's actions have contributed to the rising antisemitism in Canada. They then discuss the mood of conservatives in Canada today, the frustration within the Conservative Party, whether Pierre Poilièvre is the right leader, whether Carney is the worst possible matchup for Poilièvre, and the usual round of "Good on Yas."

World on Edge: Sweden’s GlobalEye, Trump Blowback, and Canada’s Defence Future

We got some more evidence this past week that our relationship with the United States is not business as usual. Canada is going to purchase a whack of surveillance jets, and we are not buying them from the US.  Sweden got the contract and the Americans are ticked. Did the federal government make the right choice here? And will we have to pay a political price for angering our neighbors? Stephen Saideman joins Janice Stein on World on Edge.

Why the Future of Global Democracy May Hinge on Taiwan

George Takach, author of Inspired by Taiwan: Why Supporting Taiwan Matters for Global Democracy, joins Steve to discuss his book, the possibility of China invading Taiwan, why the West must make sure China doesn’t “take a run” at Taiwan, how we are all dependent on Taiwan through its semiconductors, and if President Trump would protect Taiwan if China invaded. They also discuss whether Canada should recognize Taiwan as an independent country, the political price Canada pays with China every time a delegate visits the island, and how seriously we should take China’s military maneuvers, including when they move warships through the Taiwan Strait.
