Do you think Canadians’ resolve to boycott American products has weakened, lately? As you know, Canadians boycotting American goods and tourism destinations are having a marked impact on certain sectors of the US economy. But there seems to be more (cheaper) American produce and product options on our shelves than ever. So, are you still boycotting American products? Let’s talk about it. (No judgements.)

Pierre Poilievre says temporary foreign workers are “taking jobs from Canadian youth” at a time when unemployment for young people has hit its highest point in 15 years. But is he telling the full story—or just stoking fear? Plus, Bill has an important message for lazy journalists…

Who do Canadians trust most to steer the country through economic turbulence—Mark Carney or Pierre Poilievre? Apparently, it depends who you ask. Let’s look at some contradictory national polls released this week.

New polling shows Carney with a clear edge in public support, with Canadians signalling more confidence in his ability to handle economic strategy compared to Poilievre. While some surveys give Conservatives a lead overall, results from Nanos and Angus Reid highlight Carney’s strong personal popularity.

Are Donald Trump’s tariffs on India pushing Prime Minister Narendra Modi toward China? And what does this escalating trade tension mean for Canada and the global economy?

Trump’s newly imposed 50% tariffs across all Indian imports are already straining India’s industries, weakening U.S.–India relations, and fuelling speculation that New Delhi could look to Beijing for stronger economic ties. Such a shift would carry major geopolitical consequences, reshaping alliances and trade routes at a critical moment for the world economy. What does it mean for Canada and Canada-India trade relations?

Prime Minister Mark Carney’s trip to Europe this week is more than a diplomatic visit—it’s a strategic bid to reshape Canada’s global economic ties. A critical mineral partnership with Germany is at the center of this push, directly linking Canada’s resource wealth to Europe’s booming EV sector. At the same time, Ottawa is exploring new markets for liquid natural gas, a move that could broaden Canada’s energy exports beyond traditional partners.

Back home, negotiations with Washington remain tense, as tariffs on key Canadian goods continue to weigh heavily on the economy. The government’s message is clear: while the U.S. remains a vital partner, Canada is committed to diversifying its trade relationships to strengthen resilience in a shifting global economy.

Over half of Canadians surveyed would be “ashamed” to have Pierre Poilievre as Prime Minister, most find him insincere and the majority of women don’t trust him. Polls consistently display how unlikeable he is since becoming leader of the Conservative Party. Yet, Conservatives continue to rally behind their leader, Pierre Poilievre.

Do you think Canada is still “Elbows Up”? And why is Trump picking on us?According to new data, Canadians are more divided regarding Carney’s approach to trade relations with the United States than earlier in the year. Leger reports 45% of Canadians surveyed favour an assertive “Elbows Up” approach with counter-tariffs, while 41% prefer a more measured strategy focused on stability. So, what does that actually mean? And does Prime Minister Carney have any other options? Let’s talk about it on Episode 199!

Today’s Trump-Putin Summit in Anchorage, Alaska exposed insidious power dynamics between the totalitarian leaders, left Ukraine out in the cold, and raised troubling questions about Trump’s true motivations. Russian President Vladimir Putin controlled the narrative since the second he stepped off the plane. Bill argues that while Putin walked away with praise and recognition after being welcomed like a hero, Trump just looked confused, like an old and frail subservient lap dog. Far from a breakthrough in diplomacy, the Putin-Trump Summit was not only a missed opportunity for peace, but a setback for democracy.
