Is Canada facing more "snakes" than "ladders" on the social mobility board? In this episode, we delve into the 2025 Policy Horizons Canada report that envisions a Canada in 2040 where upward social mobility is a rarity. We explore some of the contributing factors: diminishing returns of post-secondary education, the escalating housing crisis, and the entrenchment of intergenerational wealth. We also examine the costed platforms of both the Liberal and Conservative parties in light of next week's election. Join us as we look ahead to Canada's potential future.

Today we dive into the biggest questions shaping Canada’s future: Did Mark Carney really renounce his British and Irish citizenships—and why does it matter? Are the polls actually reflecting the will of the people, or just media spin? As the election race heats up, we look at what a head-to-head between Pierre Poilievre and Mark Carney might look like. Plus, a chilling look at the growing restrictions on freedom of speech in Canada—are we still the free country we claim to be?

The election countdown is on—are Canadians ready? In this episode, we unpack the key policies at play and what it all means in the face of today's unique economic challenges.

We sit down with Bruce Pardy, a legal scholar and outspoken advocate for individual rights and the rule of law, to explore one of the most contentious political questions in Canada today: Should Alberta pursue independence?

The election polls are rolling in, but how much should we actually trust them? In this episode, we take a deep dive into how these polls are conducted, who's really being surveyed, and whether they shape public opinion more than they reflect it. Are voters doing their own research or just sticking with their party out of habit? And do party track records even matter anymore? Find out in this discussion.
