  • Listen Next - Global National with Dawna Friesen | Arctic sovereignty and security under threat; Like a good neighbour, Yukon is there
    2025/04/11
    The Canadian territories have long been aware of the importance of Canada's Arctic sovereignty and security. Now the rest of the country is starting to pay attention, too. Dawna Friesen reports from Whitehorse on how Russia and China's increased Arctic presence, as well as the unreliability of the U.S., has thrust Canada's North into the geopolitical spotlight. She also speaks with Yukon Premier Ranj Pillai about what he wants Ottawa to do. And Dawna drives across the border to Skagway, Alaska, where she speaks with residents about the importance of a strong Canada-U.S. relationship, and hears what Alaskans are afraid of losing with their neighbours in Yukon. On the campaign trail: how the Liberals' pledge to crack down on crime is drawing comparisons to the Conservatives' plan. Plus, how Pierre Poilievre is promising to slash housing development costs, and how he's responding to sliding poll numbers. And why U.S. President Donald Trump is being accused of insider training.

    2025/03/26
    Canada’s 45th general election is officially underway. In five weeks voters will head to the polls to decide who will be the next prime minister. Liberal Leader Mark Carney is calling for a “strong, positive mandate” to take on U.S. President Donald Trump. Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says a Tory government will be “respectful and firm” when standing up to Trump. The NDP, meanwhile, kicked off a campaign that is likely to be critical for Jagmeet Singh’s party and the Bloc Quebecois are also facing unexpected headwinds.

  • THINK TANK with Chloe Brown & Steve Paikin
    2025/03/18
    Greg Brady and the panel of: Steve Paikin Author and Broadcaster, host of TVO’s ‘The Agenda’ Chloe Brown, policy analyst and former Toronto mayoral candidate. Discuss: 1-OK, many are talking about Mark Carney & responses to The Globe & Mail’s Stephanie Levitz, & CBC’s Rosemary Barton. Let’s play the clips and see if you feel this is a tone and a dismissiveness that hurts Mark Carney - the more people who see moments like this? 2-I’ve never seen polling SO over the map - we’re all noticing this, aren’t we. Some Ontario Election polls had the Ford government pulling in 92-93 seats, some had them winning closer to 70 - 6 more than a majority. The last three US elections have been all over the place. So how often do YOU trust them? 3-I’m very saddened by the Hudson’s Bay story. But I haven’t shopped consistently there in maybe….15-16 years. Millions are like me. It was either less convenient or less practical. But is this just….we’ve moved into a different world. The giant department store can’t thrive, and YET, the cheaper “big box” stores do. How do you see it? 4-Have a read at this - real risk for Canadian businesses moving to the States - but isn’t there a risk for alienating American businesses here? We’re kind of being outwardly….ugly? Towards American businesses that do employ Canadians? Have we done this with any other country in the last 60 years? Countries with abhorrent human rights records to workers in general, women, gay people - we buy their products, we let them play sports here, we don’t ban immigrants from those countries - I’m worried that this is turning anti-US, not anti-Trump - what’s the line for you? 5-JFK Files today? Why couldn’t a better US President do this?! Have a theory we haven’t heard - what’s the answer to the question you’d most like to know? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
