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

Harvey Browstone: Meeting Hate with Levity and Becoming Canada’s First Openly Gay Judge

Harvey Brownstone’s “life story is one of the most astonishing you’ll ever encounter.”  He joins the pod to discuss his book, Without Prejudice: My Life as a Gay Judge, his early life, his traumatic experience coming out to his parents, being disowned, and living in poverty at Queen’s University. From there they discuss his early years as a lawyer, the homophobia and hate he experienced, how levity can sometimes be the best response, becoming Canada’s first openly gay judge, and the upcoming movie about his life.

Everything Political: Carney Infatuation Syndrome, the G7, and a One-Term PM

The Everything Political panel with former MPs Martha Hall Findlay and Tony Clement discusses “Carney infatuation syndrome,” if the honeymoon will ever end, rumours that Carney may stand down after one term, the G7 summit, if the “strands” of a new world order are being woven, and Canada’s “conscious uncoupling” from the United States. They also discuss the World Cup, the corruption of FIFA, 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

Bob Rae: USMCA, Trump’s Bluff, and Dealing with Chaos

In our second edition of a monthly segment, Steve is joined by “the most difficult man to introduce in Canada,” Bob Rae, to discuss Trump’s negotiating style, how we’ve “seen this movie before,” and if America First doesn’t mean America alone. They then discuss the deal with Iran, how it is not a victory for Trump, the diverging interests of Israel and America, the possibility that Netanyahu may step down and not run for another term, and the expansion of the Billy Bishop Airport.

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."
