Episodes

Episode 358 - The House wraps it up 22.06.2025

Email us at cdncomsense@gmail.com The Carney's threat to make MPs work into their summer break paid off, as they got the work done that was required, apparently. (would any of us have felt sorry for them if they had to work into the summer?) Are you part of the 85%? The G7 wraps big on aspirations, small on implementations, and more!

Episode 357 - Made in Canada with The Food Professor 21.06.2025

Email us at cdncomsense@gmail.com We've all seen the maple leaf labels at the grocery store, but how "Canadian" are these products? We'll find out what's behind the designations, crickets haven't gone away completely, our old friend Supply Management, and more!

Episode 356 - Carney goes global 15.06.2025

Email us at cdncomsense@gmail.com The G-7 summit runs this week, with Canada playing host in Kananaskis Country in the beautiful Rocky Mountains. We'll discuss the colourful cast of characters attending as well as some of the topics that the Carney has placed on the agenda. Seemingly out of nowhere, Canada will now meet its 2% NATO commitment, but how? And what exactly is "Build Canada?&q...

Episode 355 - Carney's Confidence 08.06.2025

Email us at cdncomsense@gmail.com The First Ministers Meeting in Saskatoon left Doug Ford gushing over his favoured Prime Minister, and even Danielle Smith had kind words. PM Carney's legislation, however, leaves us with less than kind words. Is the word "family" now offensive? Is that why Canadians aren't having kids? It's time to bring back your Hidden Gems, and more!

Episode 354 - Carney Channels Trudeau 01.06.2025

Email us at cdncomsense@gmail.com The House of Commons kind of picked up where it left off, with Liberal non-answers from the PM. The Throne Speech, while historic, wasn't exactly inspiring. Ontario MPPs get a raise, Canada gets a recession, and more!

Episode 353 - Carney's Time is Now 25.05.2025

Email us at cdncomsense@gmail.com We're not cheerleading Canada's 24th Prime Minister, but with the House of Commons resuming this week, it's time to show Canada why we elected the Liberals again. The Western Premiers Summit has given Carney some ideas on nation building, we may (one day) get a federal budget after all, why do Conservatives keep losing? And more!

Episode 352 - Elections have consequences 18.05.2025

Email us at cdncomsense@gmail.com We are finding out in real time that elections really do have consequences for Canada. You may recognize the key players in the Carney Cabinet as key players from the Trudeau Cabinet, and a few additions that may have connections. What is going on with electoral recounts? (we're looking right at you, Terrebonne) Carney shows that his elbows were down after all...

Episode 351 - Ladies of Liberty Alliance (LOLA) 13.05.2025

Ana Rizo from LOLA drops by for a conversation on how to get women in Canada away from their tendency to support Socialism.

Episode 350 - Marx Carnage 11.05.2025

Email us at cdncomsense@gmail.com While the show title may sound like a clever nickname for a certain political figure, there is no intended inference to figures living or dead, rather a simple foreshadowing of today's topics! The Carney went to Washington, Danielle drops the gloves with Doug, Pierre goes to Battle River with the Longest Ballot folks, and more!

Episode 349 - Tracey Wilson, CCFR Interview 09.05.2025

Tracey Wilson is the Vice President of Public Relations with the Canadian Coalition for Firearm Rights. She discusses not only the work of the CCFR, but also their struggles in holding the government accountable in their quest to disarm Canadians.

Episode 348 - Election 2025 is behind us 04.05.2025

Email us at cdncomsense@gmail.com Well, that didn't go the way we had hoped. We go through the results of the 2025 federal election, discuss what worked, what didn't, our analysis, and where we go from here as a country, as a movement, and our show.

Episode 347 - Catherine Swift Interview 30.04.2025

Email us at cdncomsense@gmail.com Catherine Swift is an economist and long-time advocate for Canadian business, current President of the Coalition of Concerned Manufacturers and Businesses Canada.

Episode 346 - Vote like your future depends on it 27.04.2025

Because it does. Email us at cdncomsense@gmail.com Is the dystopian future that our own government predicts already here? Are we sticking to our election predictions? Alberta gets on the right track on health care funding, and more!

Episode 345 - Candice Bergen Interview 25.04.2025

Candice Bergen has an inspiring political history; from behind the scenes, to Leader of the Opposition, and back. She joins the show for an enlightening and refreshing discussion!

Episode 344 - Debates, Elections, and Insanity 20.04.2025

Email us at cdncomsense@gmail.com It was a wild week with our only two Leaders' Debates, Liberal scandals, and "legacy" media meltdowns. We'll break down the election updates, "Buttongate," our predictions, and Lewis is left speechless at the end of the show. And more!

Episode 343 - Montreal Economic Institute 18.04.2025

Email us at cdncomsense@gmail.com Is there really no "social acceptability" for pipelines in Quebec? Did you know that Quebec drivers still pay a carbon tax? The answers to this and more with Renaud from Montreal Economic Institute. Enjoy!

Episode 342 - Carney's Chinese Connection 13.04.2025

Email us at cdncomsense@gmail.com We're not saying that Mark Carney is a Chinese asset, though we are a little concerned that he seems to have the same blind spot that Justin Trudeau has for China. Has Carney turned the media against him? Why is crowd size at rallies suddenly an issue in this campaign? Carney "borrows" policy from Poilievre, Tony summarizes Canada Strong and Free Net...

Episode 341 - The Clock is ticking 06.04.2025

Our email is cdncomsense@gmail.com Now, we don't just mean that the election is just around the corner (although we are talking about that, too,) but Pierre Poilievre has gotten people talking about young couples' biological clocks in relation to affordability. Why is that sexist? Why are we letting foreign students run our universities? Toronto is learning that elections have consequences...

Episode 340 - John Diefenbaker book - Author Bob Plamondon 02.04.2025

The book is Freedom Fighter: John Diefenbaker's Battle for Canadian Liberties and Independence. Bob discusses the history of Canada's 13th Prime Minister, and why Diefenbaker is relevant to the current political situation in Canada.

Episode 339 - The Most Important Election in Canadian History 30.03.2025

Email us at cdncomsense@gmail.com We capitalize the title for a reason this week. Brad Wall joined Ben Mulroney this week to say this election is crucial to the future of Canada, and we'll lay out why that is. Is Mark Carney the candidate of President Trump? Is Danielle Smith a traitor? Did Lewis and Tony offend someone? Your April 1st surprise, and more!

Episode 338 - Election update 27.03.2025

Email us at cdncomsense@gmail.com The campaign has started with gusto, so we thought we'd bring you a quick update on what the major party leaders have been up to. Enjoy!

Episode 337 - Election, Canada! 23.03.2025

Email us at cdncomsense@gmail.com Possibly as you are listening, the election writ has already dropped and campaign signs are up. King Carney and the LPC want you to believe the last decade never happened and they are the agent of change that Canada needs. We're happy to remind you of the Lost Liberal Decade, our election predictions, the dictator in BC, and more!

Episode 336 - King Carney Ascends 16.03.2025

Our email is cdncomsense@gmail.com Our un-elected PM has now been sworn in, along with his new Cabinet, featuring many of the Trudeau Ministers.

Episode 335 - PM Mark Carney 09.03.2025

Our email is cdncomsense@gmail.com While a miracle may happen and we're wrong, we're certain that Mark Carney will be named Liberal Party Leader today and Prime Minister very soon. We'll talk about his journey, the Hudson's Bay store, yet another Liberal gun grab, your hidden gems, and more!

Episode 334 - Tariff the food? 08.03.2025

Our email is cdncomsense@gmail.com Tony chats with Dr. Sylvain Charlebois, The Food Professor, about agricultural tariffs from China, supply management, buy Canadian, and more!
