Today's episode is another edition of Listener DM's Friday, featuring your comments, questions, and observations on the biggest stories shaping Canada right now. Scott responds to listener messages covering everything from his commitment to having an open-door policy if elected as an MP, to interprovincial trade, Doug Ford, Mark Carney, immigration, firearms laws, wildfire management, AI, government power, media coverage, and the growing political divide in Canada. Whether you agree or disagree, this episode is about hearing different perspectives and encouraging thoughtful discussion.
You'll also hear the latest remarks from Prime Minister Mark Carney following yesterday's meeting with Canada's premiers in Prince Edward Island. Plus, Scott plays comments from a Canadian winery owner frustrated by the slow pace of removing interprovincial trade barriers, and Elon Musk weighs in on the modern political spectrum, arguing that many views now labelled "far right" were considered mainstream only a few years ago. As always, Scott adds context, asks questions, and lets you hear the audio for yourself before making up your own mind.
