It's Political with Althia Raj

How Carney’s government is shaping up


Listen Later

Newly minted Liberal Leader Mark Carney ran on an ambitious platform. He promised quick and bold action. But six months into his tenure as prime minister, what have Canadians witnessed? This week on “It’s Political” we’ll get a variety of viewpoints on how Carney is dealing with Trump, the economy, the environment, among other issues.

Then, the Toronto Star’s Ottawa bureau will discuss the challenges this government faces in passing its agenda. Who will be Carney’s dance partner? And how does the NDP’s search for a new leader, and Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre’s review play into those considerations? Host Althia Raj is joined by politics reporters Ryan Tumilty and Raisa Patel, and the Star’s deputy Ottawa Bureau Chief Alex Ballingall. 

Also featured on this episode: Mark Warner, Principal at MAAW Law; economist Don Drummond, the Stauffer-Dunning fellow at Queen’s University and a fellow-in-residence at C.D. Howe; and Anna Johnston, a staff lawyer at West Coast Environmental Law.

This episode of “It’s Political” was produced by Kevin Sexton and Althia Raj. Matt Hearn is our sound engineer. Our theme music is by Isaac Joel.

Some of the audio clips this week were sourced from CPAC, CBC, CTV and BBC.
