Well its that time of year again.

As we close out 2025 we look back at what was.

And what a year it was.  Two general elections to start us off.  The political landscape shifting dramatically for two major parties.  One at the federal level and the other at the provincial.

And of course all of this under the threat of tariffs aimed at crippling our economy.  Brought on by our once most trusted and valued ally.  What will 2026 look like with America under the rule of the impulsive Donald Trump? 

I think it’s easy to say that 2025 has been a change year.  No matter what, from here on out, things aren’t really going to be the same.

So all that being said, what was the greatest story of 2025?  The biggest scandal? And what should we expect for the future?

Well to dive into these questions and more, I asked a few friends back to the podcast to discuss the year that was.

Joining me today are Theresa Lubowitz, former Queen’s Park staffer, principal of Lightbulb Narrative and host of the Progress Canada Podcast

Opposite her, is Nathaniel Arfiin, one of the key organizers of the New Leaf Liberals  who challenged former Ontario Liberal Leader Bonnie Crombie’s leadership and forced her resignation.

I invited them to join me today and look back on the year that was and what we should look forward to in 2026.
