Would We Interview Netanyahu? More statements about Israel/Palestine from Carney’s government, but does Canada have the courage to take action?

Canada is all talk when it comes to Gaza.

Plus, the Nelk Boys sit down with Netanyahu.

#1190 Canada’s Big Beautiful Clean Energy Opportunity Trump just handed Canada a clean energy gift, but instead we’re focused on pipelines.

Mark Carney rode anti-Trump nationalism all the way to the Prime Minister's office.

Now Carney is passing Trump-like policies that could lock in new oil and gas for decades.

My first reported story for @canadaland.com and it’s about, what else? Crokinole

The UCP is facing 8 investigations into corruption, plus no fewer than 3 major public sector union strikes (all of their own making).

The affordability crisis looms, as does a trade war with the US.

Wildfires & measles are raging.

And the premier chose now to clear a path for a separation vote.

Beyond the odd grammar of the headline, to me what was weird about the CBC story was that it suggested that the Trump post appeared to endorse PP when it was actually a bizarre endorsement of the 51st state, rather than a particular candidate.

With the headline, the CBC affirmed the misreading.

We left the Canadaland studio at 3am last night to make this episode happen…WAY PAST MY BEDTIME.

Thank you to all the supporters who showed up to the watch party last night in Toronto. I loved meeting you all in person.

It's a fair point. There's a lot missing.

Our Politics show also did eps specifically on PP on Mar 25 and Apr 8.

We've just talked about him so much, that I wanted to add those to the list to give a sense better sense of the coverage.

The link above doesn't include several Poilievre eps from Short Cuts.

For example, Feb 21, March 21, April 2, and April 11 focused specifically on PP.

Shots fired!

this was sarcasm

Please enlighten me on these “warning signs” you speak of

Initially I was blown away by this investigation by the Toronto Star into UberEats, but the $1.74 per hour online figure just didn’t make sense. Why would anyone do it?

I went undercover as an Uber Eats courier and made just $1.74 per hour online. Here’s what I learned about the troubling cost of convenience For six weeks, I hustled for orders and made a shockingly low wage. Uber says my experience was 'atypical' — but workers I spoke to say differently.

A legacy Canadian delivery service is being legislated back-to-work, meanwhile the new model for deliveries (in this case food) is a complete labour disaster. 🤔
