Canadian Common Sense

Email us at cdncomsense@gmail.com Recorded on July 8, 2026, by Tony, using his earbuds, in the great outdoors! Tony chats with Dr. Charlebois about trade, both inside and outside of Canada, and some interesting guests that Dr. Charlebois has interviewed on his podcast. Enjoy!

Email us at cdncomsense@gmail.com We have made our latest attempt at equalizing our audio levels; please let us know how we did with the theme music. Get ready for some serious sloganeering from our Prime Minister, as he is making announcements at speeds never seen before! Not only is he showing his master negotiating skills, he's building, electrifying, and energizing Canada! And more!

Email us at cdncomsense@gmail.com We certainly were riddled with a lot of announcements from our government on their way out the door to start the summer. Programming note: we will cover many of these over the summer, but not all of them today. We will talk (today) about the latest "nation-building" projects, taxpayers buying condos, the Montréal shooting, Jamil Jivani pushing back the f...

Email us at cdncomsense@gmail.com While it's well documented that Justin Trudeau has a special soft spot for dictators (his father was one, after all,) we're wondering if maybe that might be a Liberal thing. We'll explore Carney's disdain for Parliament, why Mélanie Joly is in China, is Danielle Smith really a traitor? Encouraging news to end the show, and more!

Email us at cdncomsense@gmail.com PM Carney is now in Europe, freely speaking as a European, to attend the G-7 summit in France. He is expected to have some time with US President Trump to talk CUSMA, but will that get the Gordie Howe Bridge open? Why does Alto have over 100 employees already, and why are they getting bonuses when not a single km of track has been laid? We break down Canada's...

Email us at cdncomsense@gmail.com Gage Haubrich, Prairie Director with the Canadian Taxpayer's Federation stops by to talk about debt, waste, and firearms, breaking news on the firearm file!

Email us at cdncomsense@gmail.com Dominic LeBlanc has gone to Washington to talk about CUSMA; better late than never? While he does have a big task on his hands, it's not as dire as some would have us believe. Danielle Smith has met with Premier Frechette in Quebec to talk trade and autonomy, is Mark Carney really a big meanie to his caucus? And more!

Email us at cdncomsense@gmail.com Apparently, this slogan is the way to Make America Great Again (which we're told is yet another slogan.) What's more is that this meshing of slogans comes from not Pierre Poilievre, but Prime Minister Carney himself! Just as we confirm that Canada is officially in an economic recession, we have hope in learning that Steven Guilbeault is stepping down as an...

Email us at cdncomsense@gmail.com We are not making a reference to any musical group here: you will hear your hosts expressing a little rage today. Why? The federal Liberals clearly appear to hate our military, other levels of government seem intent on erasing our history, Danielle Smith declares a referendum question on independence, and more!

Email us at cdncomsense@gmail.com Tony has a talk with John Reil, active in the Alberta Independence movement. Please share this discussion everywhere!

Email us at cdncomsense@gmail.com Our governments are legendary for stealing our money through taxation, and spending it irresponsibly. Now they're looking to steal your data, your location and shopping habits, and allow the police access to it. You'll be surprised to learn which media are NOT taking your money, the attack on social media, and more!

Email us at cdncomsense@gmail.com Happy Mother's Day! The Carney likes to open every news release by telling Canadians that we live in a dangerous and divided world, probably hinting that he is here to serve Canada's best interests. But, is he the "man for this moment?" While he is flying around talking to world leaders about agreeing to talk again, Canada has its own issues to d...

Email us at cdncomsense@gmail.com WARNING!!! Today's episode may cause your jaw to drop or your hand to facepalm. You may ask yourself "WTF?" as we discuss the Spring Economic Statement, changes to Canada's game, what the government is doing to our Armed Forces, and you may even question our picks for the NHL at the end of the show. And more!

Email us at cdncomsense@gmail.com The Carney started last week with a well-produced video lecturing Canadians that our relationship with the US is a "weakness," only to tell us a couple days later that we need to strengthen said relationship ... okay ... Those BC Conservatives looking to be the next Premier had a debate, and it didn't go well for at least one of them. Air Ford One ge...

Email us at cdncomsense@gmail.com How fitting that Episode 419 was recorded on April 19 (4/19.) Will the Carney move a majority into the Committee Clown Cars? What does this mean for Pierre Poilievre? Look out, private landowners, BC is coming for you again! What did Jeremy Hansen see on the dark side of the moon? And more!

Email us at cdncomsense@gmail.com The Carney is truly in charge of a clown show with the group of floor crossers, and the presenters at the recent Liberal Party convention in Montreal. But will his "majority at any cost" hold together? What does this mean for Pierre Poilievre? Why do these elitists get away with thumbing their collective noses at those of us who give them their power? An...

Email us at cdncomsense@gmail.com We'll actually talk about three, but one of them is truly insane! Avi Lewis is the new standard bearer for the federal NDP, and what the hell was with that convention? Pierre Poilievre had another amazing podcast interview, Danielle Smith didn't light up the podcast circuit, but she hasn't exactly been idle. We'll touch on this, and more!

Email us at cdncomsense@gmail.com Apparently what you say is not necessarily as important as which language you say it in. And it would appear that about whom you speak could also be offensive to some MPs. But, at least you have Charter rights to say it; until the government asks the Supreme Court about that Charter and what provinces can do with it. We'll break it all down, and more!

Email us at cdncomsense@gmail.com Literally all of Canada is talking about Pierre Poilievre appearing on the most popular podcast in the world, and you'll hear our takes as well. However, no episode is truly complete without a certain host gushing over Danielle Smith, talk about Carney's "values," the arctic, and more!

Email us at cdncomsense@gmail.com Perhaps our Prime Minister should have heeded the warning given to Caesar oh so many years ago; he may have had a better week. A listener sent us a video of a "Carney um and ah drinking game" that was quite appropriate in describing our PM with the press. But will Carney have the last laugh by building a majority government with floor crossers? What'...

Email us at cdncomsense@gmail.com While neither of your humble hosts are on a hot vacation right now, perhaps it's Daylight Savings Time that has so many flip-flops showing up with our leadership class. Pierre Poilievre is now a statesman, India is now our friend, the BC Premier knew nothing about the Musqueam agreement even though he was in the front row, CBC funding has now been cut instead...

Email us at cdncomsense@gmail.com We may have witnessed the Pierre Poilievre that many of us have been calling for; the Prime Minister in waiting. We'll analyze the speech in Toronto. The Carney is off to Asia to agree to meet again, with his new acquisition in tow, deficit budgets everywhere, and we end the show with a surprise announcement that you didn't see coming. Brace yourselves!

Email us at cdncomsense@gmail.com Sylvain Charlebois, the Food Professor stops by to talk food inflation, trade, even a little politics. Enjoy!

Email us at cdncomsense@gmail.com Well, the Gold Medal hockey game didn't turn out the way most of us wanted, and our show was delayed as we were watching the game, so our apologies. Our takeaway? Let's try not to forget the patriotism associated with that game, as we talk about Alberta referendums, federal floor-crossers, rebuilding our military, and more!

Email us at cdncomsense@gmail.com You can take control of your health care in Canada! Ingrid Gahsner, author of "Off the Waitlist," stops in for a great discussion of the limitations of Canada's universal health care system, how supplemental insurance plans (like employer extended health) and private insurance can fill in the gaps of our taxpayer funded system and keep you off the wa...
