THE PAIKIN PODCAST: Will the second try be the charm for Pierre Poilievre?

33

Poilievre lost his Carleton seat because he was honest about cutting the public service. The Carleton riding is heavy with public servants. Carney is cutting the public service but didn't disclose his plans until after he won the election.So if Poilievre had been underhanded and hid his intentions he might have won his seat of 19 years.

Yes the Longest Ballot Committee is responsible for most of those candidates. Essentially it's legal election interference.

Carney hasn't even been in power very long. To consider him as a PM who has shaped Canada is not only premature, it is naive.

There's a simple solution to this problem. Simply stay home. America doesn't want foreigners in their country. Fish and guests have one thing in common, they both begin to stink after a few days.

Canada’s contribution to the F-35 spans across the country. For example, that the horizontal tail for the F-35 is assembled in Winnipeg, while engine sensors come from Ottawa and composite materials that make up some of the panels are produced in Lunenburg, N.S.According to Lockheed, 80 per cent of the jet is made somewhere else, before full assembly in Texas. More than 110 companies in Canada have contributed to the program since its inception. Lockheed Martin says about 30 companies in Canada are currently involved in the F-35 program, employing about 2,000 Canadians.

THE PAIKIN PODCAST: What the end of American democracy would mean for us

I respect Paikin, but his comments regarding Ukrainians never having thought that Russia would ever invade Ukraine are naive. For centuries, a significant portion of the territory that is now Ukraine was under Russian rule, first as part of the Russian Empire and later as a founding and constituent republic of the Soviet Union.There were many indications that Russia had an inclination to absorb Ukraine or at least keep it firmly within its sphere of influence long before the 2014 annexation of Crimea. This was a consistent theme in Russia's foreign policy under Vladimir Putin.

"time to let the US empire fade out".That statement suggests that Canada was somehow holding the US empire (your words) together over the years. When in actuality it is the other way around. Canada has benefited more from our relationship with the US than they have with us.

VIDEO: What’s next for Canada Post? We’re starting to find out

20

Canada Post is failing to adequately capitalize on the one area of growth in the postal sector: parcel delivery. Unlike letter mail, the parcel market is fully competitive, dominated by agile private companies like FedEx, UPS, and Amazon’s own logistics network. Canada Post’s market share in this lucrative sector has plummeted due to operational rigidities, such as historical limitations on weekend delivery and staffing structures designed for mail, not parcels. While competitors offer faster, more flexible seven-day service, Canada Post has struggled to adapt its collective agreements and operations to meet modern e-commerce demands. Its inability to compete effectively in the parcel segment—its primary potential growth engine—is the clearest indicator that the old model is broken.

VIDEO: Should cigarette-style warning labels be mandatory on all alcohol?

13

For context, Canada first introduced graphic (pictorial) warning labels on packages of tobacco in December 2000, with the warnings becoming fully implemented and appearing on cigarette packages in 2001. Canada was the first country in the world to implement this type of warning.The smoking rate among Canadians aged 15 and older has seen a major reduction over the decades, dropping from 24.5% in 2001 (around the time the warnings were implemented) to 12% in 2022.On a side note in 1970, the percentage of Canadian adults aged 15 or older who were smokers was approximately 46.5%.
