Good podcast to introduce Avi Lewis if you know little or nothing about him. While I disagree with many of his ideas, it's refreshing to finally see a possible NDP leader with a vision.

And, there's a ton of small "c" Conservatives still looking for a political home, and can find it under Carney's leadership.

He didn't feel represented in leader Pierre Poilievre's party anymore & bristled at his "negative" approach to politics.

Canada is creating a task force to monitor the safety of U.S. food imports after RFK Jr. cut 3,500 FDA staff. Weaker U.S. standards require increased monitoring and diligence for Canada, generating trade barriers and consumer distrust, resulting in economic damage for U.S. producers and farmers.
