Episode 435 - Elbows ... where, exactly?
1w ago01:50:05Tap to summarizeEmail us at cdncomsense@gmail.com So, Mark Carney told us all that he was the one who could best stand up President Trump and secure the best deal for Canada RE: the United States. You might not like what we have to tell you on that front. Danielle Smith triggers the left in Alberta over breakfast, Ontario burns, and more!

2w ago01:47:23Tap to summarizeEmail us at cdncomsense@gmail.com While the Carney government plays fast and loose with the rules, it would appear that they aren't alone. Are we looking at yet one more new pipeline? We've got submarines; maybe not the best bid, and likely not till 2034, though. New rules for Senate appointments, has Pierre lost his way? And more!
Transcribe →Episode 433 - The Food Professor, Sylvain Charlebois
3w ago00:26:37Tap to summarizeEmail 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!
Transcribe →Episode 432 - Canada Strong?
3w ago02:07:15Tap to summarizeEmail 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!
Transcribe →Episode 431 - Announcing a Summer of Announcements ...
Jun 2801:50:16Tap to summarizeEmail 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 feds, and a fun fact that you may not have heard about the Dominion of Canada. And more!
Transcribe →Episode 430 - Dictatorship, anyone?
Jun 2102:04:57Tap to summarizeEmail 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!
Transcribe →Episode 429 - What's the Deal?
Jun 1402:12:29Tap to summarizeEmail 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 Food Strategy, Tim Horton's in full damage control mode, and more!
Transcribe →Episode 428 - Gage Haubrich, CTF
Jun 1000:24:43Tap to summarizeEmail 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!
Transcribe →Episode 427 - Let's Talk Trade
Jun 702:05:19Tap to summarizeEmail 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!
Transcribe →Episode 426 - Canada Strong
May 3102:07:54Tap to summarizeEmail 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 MP. Why is homelessness a Charter right, big news in the CFL, and we end with an idea that could actually make Canada strong. And more!
