    Why Some European Leaders Don’t Want Canada in the EU

    Canada wanted to be an “associate member” of the EU, but all we got was an “Alliance for the Future.” So who in Europe is skeptical of getting closer to Canada, and why? Host Sam talks to three German members of the European Parliament who voted against closer ties with Canada: one from the far-right AfD, a party now leading Germany’s polls, and two elected on the ticket of a populist left-wing party. They say they like Canada. What they don’t buy is the pitch: shared values, our support for Ukraine, and Europe as Canada’s escape hatch from Trump. Host: Sam Konnert Credits: Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), Sam Konnert (Host/Producer), Caleb Thompson (Audio Editor/Post Production), Harrison Lowman (Managing Editor), Tony Wang (Artwork) Guests: Alexander Sell, AfD member of the European Parliament Michael von der Schulenburg, non-attached member of the European Parliament; former UN assistant secretary-general Thomas Geisel, non-attached member of the European Parliament; former mayor of Düsseldorf Background reading: Canada aims to become EU’s first ‘associate member’ by June 2027, Carney says | Euronews Canada, European Union officials drop ‘associate member’ from summit declaration | Reuters EU removes mention of ‘associate membership’ from Canada declaration | Euronews European Parliament calls for stronger EU-Canada partnership | Global Affairs Canada EU to buy $750 billion of US energy in trade agreement | S&P Global New Eurobarometer shows continued strong support for EU’s response to war in Ukraine | EU Neighbours East Poilievre calls German politician Christine Anderson’s views ‘vile’ and ‘racist’ | CBC Sponsors: Douglas is giving our listeners a FREE Sleep Bundle with each mattress purchase.

    Was the B.C. Election the Death of “Woke” Politics?

    A spectacular own goal? A rejection of progressive politics? Host Noor Azrieh is joined by political strategist Zain Velji to pick through the wreckage of Eby’s election gamble—and the competing media narratives about what it means.

    First Nations, First Ministers, Second Chance?

    In 2005, Canada’s leaders agreed to a $5.1-billion plan to close the gap for Indigenous people. Three days later, the government fell, and the deal died with it. This week, they finally sat down again. Sam spends the day before with Jeff Copenace, chief of Onigaming First Nation. Twenty years ago, he was sitting right behind Paul Martin at Kelowna. This time, he couldn’t get in the room. Plus: meet our new managing editor, Harrison Lowman, and his pick for the craziest political story of the decade.

    Bradford or Chow? Toronto Chooses its Next Impotent Mayor

    There’s no Mamdani in Toronto’s mayoral race. incumbent Mayor Olivia Chow has lost her early lead on Brad Bradford, with polls suggesting they are deadlocked heading into Monday’s election. As progressives scramble to respond to Bradford’s steady rise in the polling, buoyed by a right-leaning law and order platform, some critics wonder if Chow misjudged the city’s mood. Jan Wong joins Jesse Brown to debate which underwhelming candidate will come out on top.

    What Started the Fire at CFB Wainwright?

    A deadly fire killed 4 soldiers at a military base in Alberta on Saturday, but as the news was breaking, information was hard to come by. Even days afterward, basic details remain unknown. The Canadian Military is promising to release the details of its investigation to the public, but how long will it take for Canadians to learn what happened at CFB Wainwright? Jan Wong joins Jesse Brown to discuss the culture of secrecy and lack of disclosure in Canadian institutions, and why it makes it very difficult to be a journalist.

    Carney Compliance Condition

    What the FBI Revealed About Tumbler Ridge

    The messaging platform Discord is under scrutiny after the FBI alleges it was used to plan the Tumbler Ridge attack. Cody James Bryant, a 30-year-old resident of Bellingham, Washington has been charged with conspiracy to murder persons in a foreign country. In the 6 months leading up to the attack, Bryant communicated daily with the Tumbler Ridge shooter, Jesse Van Roostselaar, helping to plan, encourage, and fund the purchase of equipment. B.C. Premier David Eby is calling on Ottawa to regulate platforms like Discord, so that law enforcement is informed when concerning content appears. Sarah Rieger of Betakit joins Julian Abraham to consider the tricky balance between privacy and safety in tech regulation.

    As Steven Galloway’s defamation trial continues, his supporters say he’s finally getting justice, but some also are demanding accountability from media outlets for their coverage of the case over the last decade.

    "I'm Not Concerned" - Danielle Smith on the Alberta Separatist Referendum

    There are just a few days left until Alberta’s referendum on separation (and more). If the vote goes through, it won't redraw the country’s borders overnight, but it could give Premier Smith a mandate to pursue the next vote where Alberta could actually separate. Host Noor Azrieh sits down with Premier Smith to ask what she’s prepared to do if the vote goes through, and how much responsibility she takes for getting Alberta to this point.

    Is Avi Lewis "Unsafe" or Just Uncomfortable?

    An editorial in the National Post considers “How to Deal with Avi Lewis” according to Jewish law, following a Yom Kippur post made by Lewis calling for the Jewish community to take responsibility for failing to stop “an ongoing genocide committed in our name.” Critics of the editorial argue that the National Post crossed the line, advocating for violence against Lewis. Meanwhile, a CBC journalist, Neil Herland, is taken off the air for documenting his personal experience of a protest outside a Yom Kippur Synagogue service in Toronto. Harrison Lowman joins Jesse Brown to discuss why online discourse is more focused on X posts and editorials than the crisis facing Jewish Canadians, underscored by the violent antisemitic attack on a synagogue in Belleville.

    Quebec's "Brainrot" Separatism

    Quebec has elected Paul St-Pierre Plamondon and the Parti Québéois to a minority government, whose platform includes a referendum on sovereignty. Even though St-Pierre Plamondon intends to hold off on a referendum until after Trump has left office, Canada now has a two-headed separatism problem. The current version of Quebec’s sovereignty movement is led by young people, who signal their support through reels and memes. Meanwhile, in Alberta an investigation in the Globe and Mail details meetings between separatists and the US administration, where fresh water, oil royalties, and a train route to Alaska were reportedly offered in exchange for US support.
