This was an epic week of Canadian 🇨🇦 political intrigue and drama, with Canada's economy and sovereignty under increased threat, including new auto tariffs. The 2025 Federal Election kicked off with Prime Minister Mark Carney's high stakes phone call with US President Donald Trump and campaign ad with star Mike Meyers, Pierre Poilievre sinking like a stone in the polls and making campaign mistakes, Premier Danielle Smith tape recording courting MAGA and foreign interference, Conservative power players Premier Ford and Jason Kenney sending signals undermining Poilievre and whack of new allegations and lines of attack adding to the chaos.

Mark Cripps, Keith Leslie and host Laura Babcock analyze it all, provide solid advice and criticism for the campaigns and have some overdue laughs along the way!
