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.

Everything Political: Did Danielle Smith Just Pull a Brexit?

Everything Political panel with former MPs Martha Hall Findlay and Tony Clement discusses Alberta Premier Danielle Smith’s approach to separatism and a potential referendum, why she is being criticized from all sides, why Tony thinks she can’t squash a referendum right now, the tightrope she is walking, if she is fanning the flames of separatism, and if it could backfire and become another Brexit situation. They then discuss the 14 Liberal MPs questioning Carney’s stance on the environment, MP Steven Guilbeault’s announcement that he is resigning, if Canada is “backsliding” on climate, and the usual round of “Good on Yas.”   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
