]]> The REAL return of the Left in Canadian politics (feat. NDP Leader Avi Lewis) Rachel Gilmore 00:58:12 I have to start off today’s show with an announcement — one you might have already heard, if you saw yesterday’s video. See, when I went independent, I was terrified it wasn’t going to work — so I threw everything at the wall. And I mean everything. I’ve been researching, scripting, filming and editing short-form news videos five days per week. I also do a weekly Tuesday night stream, and I’ve been scripting, booking and recording this live podcast. In the background of all of that, I also regularly travel across Canada to speak in front of Canadians, do freelance investigative pieces and videos for outlets like the Tyee and the National Observer, and run my media business — which includes all the financial and logistical work that comes with that. I’m going to be honest. It’s too much. It’s not sustainable. And I’m burning out. I also can’t give you the quality of reporting that I want to provide when I’m treading water. So in recent weeks, I’ve been thinking about why I do this and what I’m good at. I keep coming back to my investigative pieces. The moments when I’ve broken news, like when I unmasked Nazis in my city or laid out Canadian companies profiting from ICE. When I have time to do that work, it’s some of the most impactful stuff I do. It’s also when you folks upgrade to being paid subscribers, keeping this work free and accessible for those who don’t have the means to pay to support it. So, for now, I’m retiring this podcast. I’m also going down to three videos per week. This way, I can keep this work going. I can work ahead on the kind of high-quality journalism you’ve come to expect from me, and to stay on top of all that other stuff that allows me to pay my rent while still doing this for a living: freelance work, speaking gigs and the book proposal I should really be working on. Eventually, my hope is that this means I can pump out more high quality, investigative work. I want to do deep dives into the issues you care about, from continuing to unmask neo nazis to exposing the other things hurting our democracy, like the encroachment of for-profit healthcare and the corruption from some provincial governments. And, because I still stream every Tuesday, I have a space where I can do the occasional high-quality interview when the moment calls for it. So thank you, so much, for being here. Thank you for listening, and thank you for believing in my journalism. While this might feel sad for some of you, I think you’ll find it’s going to help keep the quality of my work up — or even see it get better — in the long term. Because with your support, I want to keep doing this for a long long time to come. As for today, I’ve got a damn good last episode for you all. The NDP have a new leader — and he’s already making waves in Canada and around the world. Avi Lewis isn’t afraid to take some big, unabashedly leftist swings. And in a world where the rich keep getting richer and the rest of us keep getting screwed, that’s pretty god damn refreshing. But it’s not all smooth sailing. He’s got some big challenges ahead of him, including navigating some spats with the provincial arms of his party and bringing the federal party back from the brink. There’s a lot to cover, so I am really excited to welcome Avi Lewis on today’s show.

]]> Is Alberta paving a path to erode democracy in Canada? (feat. Cole Bennett) Rachel Gilmore 00:54:22 Alberta’s government, as usual, has been up to some bullshit. The latest? It looks like Danielle Smith’s UCP is trying to gerrymander the province. For those of you unfamiliar with the term, gerrymandering is when electoral districts are divided in a way that gives an unfair advantage to one party. This is just the latest antidemocratic act from a premier that doesn’t seem to give a shit about the freedoms of her own constituents. I mean, just look how she treats the freedoms of trans Albertans when it comes to their own doctors’ advice. Spoiler: not well. Luckily for all of us, some of those Alberta residents are pushing back. One of the loudest voices holding this UCP government to account is Cole Bennett, who you might know better as Cole Not Cole. He makes news videos across social platforms and runs a popular newsletter that lays out the latest breaking news. Today, he’s joining me to fill us in on the province that seems to be at the vanguard of a lot of the worst stuff in politics — stuff that then spreads to other parts of the country. I hope you enjoy the episode! Alberta’s government, as usual, has been up to some bullshit. The latest? It looks like Danielle Smith’s UCP is trying to gerrymander the province.

]]> Making sense of the senseless and illegal war in Iran (feat. Samira Mohyeddin) Rachel Gilmore 00:47:22 Iranians breathed a small sigh of relief last night. Just 90 minutes before Donald Trump’s self-imposed deadline hit, the president backed down from his threat to commit genocide and further war crimes in the country, announcing instead a two-week ceasefire. “(…) subject to the Islamic Republic of Iran agreeing to the COMPLETE, IMMEDIATE, and SAFE OPENING of the Strait of Hormuz, I agree to suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks. This will be a double sided CEASEFIRE!” Trump wrote. Trump said the U.S. had ”received a 10 point proposal from Iran, and believe it is a workable basis on which to negotiate. Almost all of the various points of past contention have been agreed to between the United States and Iran, but a two week period will allow the Agreement to be finalized and consummated.” But this war never should have happened in the first place. UN experts have made it clear that this was an illegal war — an illegal war that Prime Minister Mark Carney supported. When asked yesterday if he now regrets that stance, Carney replied that the point of this support was “the ending of both that state sponsored terrorism and the nuclear ambitions of Iran.” “That remains the case,” he added. Now, I am no expert on Iran. But luckily, a friend of the show very much is. Samira Mohyeddin is the fearless, award-winning journalist behind On The Line Media. She has been dogged in her coverage of U.S. and Israeli atrocities in Palestine and beyond. She also has a deep, personal understanding of Iranian politics — one rooted in her reality as what she described in one interview as a “child of revolution,” as her parents immigrated to Canada from Iran in 1979. I am so excited that Samira agreed to share her deep well of knowledge with us today. I hope you enjoy the episode! Iranians breathed a small sigh of relief last night.

]]> Return of the Left, Poilievre's podcast and Big Tech Troubles (Feat. Paris Marx and Supriya Dwivedi) Rachel Gilmore 01:07:34 The NDP are choosing their new leader at a convention this weekend. Now, before your eyes glaze over and you stop listening, let me make something very clear for you: you should care about this! Without a strong progressive voice in the House of Commons, the debates on legislation that WILL impact your life have largely taken place between Liberals who are acting more and more like progressive conservatives, and Conservatives who are acting more and more like maple MAGA. As Althia Raj pointed out in her excellent op-ed this week, that means really important questions aren’t getting the attention they need. I’m talking about issues like the risk of healthcare being privatized, with Alberta leading the charge to destroy this fundamental Canadian institution. Then there are questions about Bill C-12, which Raj writes is “chan­ging asylum qual­i­fic­a­tions in ways that are more dra­conian than in the United States.” Or you could consider Carney’s promise to expand pharmacare. He proceeded not to put money towards its expansion in the September budget, and he hasn’t negotiated any new pharmacare deals with the provinces, despite their interest. I could go on, but I hope you see my point: the NDP serve a really vital role in our democracy. Political conversations with real-world impact suffer when they don’t a strong progressive voice. So who will be tasked with bringing the party back from the brink? We’ll find out this weekend! That’s not all we’re going to cover today, though. We’re going to cover some wild remarks about from Canada’s top cop about foreign interference, Open AI shutting down its video AI app Sora, and Meta and YouTube being held liable in a landmark social media trial. Yeah. A lot has been going on in the world of politics and tech, which is why I’m fusing the topics together with today’s guests who have expertise in both areas! Paris Marx is the host of the podcast Tech Won’t Save Us. He’s a tech critic, an author, a podcaster and a fan favourite on this podcast. Supriya Dwivedi is a former senior advisor to former prime minister Justin Trudeau. She’s worked on a lot of online harms policy, and she’s a regular talking head on some very popular shows, but today I’m stealing her for my own. I hope you enjoy the episode!

]]> Okay, but how *do* you catch a fascist? (feat. Christopher Mathias) Rachel Gilmore 01:05:07 Anti-fascists are often very, very good at what they do. Anyone worth their salt who reports on the far-right has probably interacted with someone who considers themselves “Antifa.” Because often, they’re some of the best and bravest researchers in the business. Take my recent piece on a white nationalist fight club that was training in a Montreal gym. I uncovered the gym and, with the help of my friend Liz Simons, also unmasked a member of the group. But long before I did that, Montreal Antifasciste had been documenting and exposing other members of this same group, outing neo-Nazis and keeping their communities safe. Lately, though, Antifa as a concept has been targeted — especially in the United States, where Trump signed an executive order to designate the ideology as a “domestic terrorist organization.” That is…ludicrous. Antifa is a loose, leaderless term for basically anyone who actively opposes far-right, fascist groups. It doesn’t have a distinct leadership structure or any known leader. But it makes sense Trump, who has been described as a fascist, would feel afraid of them. Because people who consider themselves Antifa are probably some of the biggest threats to the rise of the far right and fascism in Canada, the United States and around the world. Nowhere is that made more apparent than in the new book, To Catch a Fascist, by Christopher Mathias. The novel is written in a narrative style, so you really feel you’re going on these infiltration missions alongside the Antifa activists who are sneaking into neo-nazi groups and gathering intel, then later exposing the group’s members. What’s even more wild? It’s all real. This is non-fiction. It’s one of the best representations of Antifa’s effective and essential work that I’ve ever read — at a time when these groups are more important than ever. That’s why I am so thrilled to have Christopher Mathias, the author of To Catch a Fascist, on today’s show. Anti-fascists are often very, very good at what they do.

]]> Unmasking white nationalists across Canada (feat. Evan Balgord) Rachel Gilmore 01:13:37 It’s been a tough week for the white nationalists. First, a little over a week ago, I published a piece unmasking where the Frontenac Active Club had been training, unbeknownst to the gym’s owners. Quick reminder for the uninitiated: active clubs are a growing problem in Canada. These groups of white nationalists “focus on physical recruitment and combat training in preparation for eventual violent confrontation,” according to an internal government report, first reported on last week by CBC News. I also got my hands on a copy of it. That report also said that “compared to other countries, Canada appears to have a disproportionate number of Active Clubs, with more than 30 of the nearly 200 known global chapters existing in Canada.” So that’s…something. Anyway, with the help of Elizabeth Simons from the Canadian Anti-Hate Network, I also identified Giulio Zardo, a then-coach at the gym, as a member of this active club. The former Olympian had given the group access to the facility outside of normal business hours. According to the owners of the gym, Zardo hid the true nature of the club from them. After we published the investigation, the gym’s owners took swift action to address the issue, ensuring Frontenac Active Club no longer had access to their facility. They also fired Zardo. Then Zardo and Shawn Beauvais-MacDonald, a guy who openly calls himself a Nazi and is also a member of the Frontenac Active Club, showed up in person to my boyfriend’s show at a small local music venue. They stared me down until I acknowledged them, then tried to intimidate me about my work, asking when the next story was coming out and dropping the name of a gym I used to go to, implying they’d stop by sometime. Clearly the fact that I had unmasked them made them a little upset. But I won’t stop – and neither will the folks at the Canadian Anti-Hate Network, whose researcher Hazel Woodrow just dropped the first story from a huge investigation identifying people who used the white supremacist dating site called “White Date.” See, in late December, a badass hacker in a pink power rangers costume shut down the dating website live on stage in Hamburg and published the users on a public interface called okstupid.lol. Believe it or not, 86% of the users of White Date were men. Shocking. Anyway, Anti-hate has dug into this leaked information to unmask Canadians using the white supremacist dating site. They shared their findings with CBC News, which had been doing a parallel investigation, but I want to give her her full credit here: Hazel has identified more than 190 Canadian users of this website on her own. One of those users, whose name anti-hate and CBC News published earlier this week, is Royal Canadian Air Force Major Tristan Armstrong. CBC News published some other names of users of this website this week, too, including our friend Shawn Beauvais-MacDonald, who once again, tried to intimidate me last week. (Ladies, can you believe he’s single?) Anyway, as I already mentioned, the Canadian Anti-Hate Network’s Hazel Woodrow has identified nearly 200 Canadians on this website. And today, Evan Balgord, the executive director of the Canadian Anti-Hate Network, is joining me on the show to talk about all of this.. It’s going to be a good one.

]]> Everything is political -- yeah, even hockey (feat. David Doel) Rachel Gilmore 00:55:56 “Stop making things so political.” That’s what a lot of people online had to say after Team USA eked out a victory over Team Canada last weekend in the men’s Olympic gold medal game. Those guys not only partied with loser FBI director Kash Patel in their change room, but also giggled like bumbling cavemen as Trump joked about having to invite the women’s hockey team too — as if they didn’t also win gold at the Olympics. This conversation has lit up the internet, with the predictable voices telling people it’s not that deep. Others are correctly saying that, actually, it very much is. One of those people I noticed being especially outspoken in an extremely satisfying way was David Doel. You probably know him best as the host of The Rational National on YouTube, where he’s amassed more than 750,000 subscribers. He’s known for his incisive political commentary, which he’s able to package to viewers in videos that both entertain and inform people about the world around them. That’s why I had to invite him on the show today. Not only to talk about Team USA and the nonsense that anything can truly exist outside of politics, but also to discuss the role of people like him — YouTubers, streamers — in shaping the media ecosystem in the modern day. I am really excited for today’s conversation. “Stop making things so political.” That’s what a lot of people online had to say after Team USA eked out a victory over Team Canada last weekend in the men’s Olympic gold medal game.

]]> Is the right-wing media world...okay? (feat. Luke LeBrun) Rachel Gilmore 01:02:59 The girls were fighting this week. See, Juno “News,” a right wing self-proclaimed “news” outlet that for some reason boasts one of the highest politics Substack subscription rates in Canada, decided to platform an interesting guest. Host Candice Malcolm called it an “immigration debate.” But her guest was a guy named Daniel Tyrie, a founder of the “Dominion Society.” This is a guy who, according to the Canadian Anti-Hate Network, is a part of Canada’s growing and emboldened white nationalist movement. Even Malcolm’s former boss, former Conservative cabinet minister and former Alberta premier Jason Kenney, was outspoken about his disgust for the interview. “Daniel Tyrie is a racist,” he wrote on Twitter. “Racism is immoral. It is poison. It is not “vitality.” It is not conservative.” This left many Canadians feeling nervous, because…did we just agree with Jason Kenney? Anyway, this is part of a broader, long overdue conversation about the conservative media ecosystem. Because things aren’t just getting weird on Juno News, a platform Pierre Poilievre has generously sat down with several times for one on one interviews. The party also invited several conservative “influencers” to their convention, which launched a bigger conversation about these TikTok-making, sometimes truth-twisting and often very partisan people who are making up an increasingly large share of the right-wing media ecosystem. I knew I wanted to talk about all of this, and who better to help me than one of my favourite fellow political journalists? Luke LeBrun is the Editor of PressProgress. He’s an award winning journalist and very, very good at what he does. He’s also covered a lot of stories that veer into the stranger side of our media industry, from this recent Juno News drama to uncovering the Israeli government money backing a group sending right-wing media personalities to Israel. In fact, he’s so good, that he’s facing a big money lawsuit alongside CBC News and the Toronto Star that could create chilling precedents that would protect politicians’ secrets from whistleblowers. I hope you enjoy the episode! The girls were fighting this week.

]]> Tumbler Ridge, youth radicalization and transphobia (feat. Amarnath Amarasingam and Fae Johnstone) Rachel Gilmore 01:03:50 This has been a hard week, which means this is going to be a bit of a hard episode. We’re going to dig into some uncomfortable, painful stuff. If that doesn’t feel right for you, feel free to skip this one. See, when I initially planned this week’s episode, I had wanted to talk about youth far-right radicalization. A teen in the Quebec City area was recently charged with a terrorism-related offence. According to the RCMP, he had allegedly making propaganda for the militant accelerationist neo-Nazi terror group Atomwaffen. But then, something truly unthinkable happened. In the small B.C. community of Tumbler Ridge, an 18-year-old shooter opened fire on a school and, over the course of the incident, took the lives of six children and two adults. It is devastating. And as if that cruelty, that unbearable pain wasn’t enough, some people immediately twisted this news to vilify and demonize the transgender community. This wasn’t just fringe twitter accounts. It included major newspaper columnists, elected politicians, and influencers who had recently been invited to the conservative party convention. All of it a cruel, selfish distraction from what actually matters: the victims and their families. Today, we’re going to talk about all of this: youth radicalization and the danger it poses, misinformation in times of crises, and vicious transphobia. To help me do that, I’ve got two incredible guests — people I’m extra grateful for this week, because these conversations aren’t easy. Amarnath Amarasingam is an associate professor at Queen’s university and is a senior research fellow at the Institute for Strategic Dialogue. He’s written several books and his study of extremism and radicalization has seen him directly interview members of major international extremist groups, as well as their families and friends. Fae Johnstone is an iconic tour de force who is doing some heavy lifting in saving our world. She’s the executive director of Queer Momentum, a non-profit advocacy organization powering queer political action across Canada. She was once on a chocolate bar, which made the worst people really mad. She’s probably your least favourite person’s least favourite activist. I hope you find today’s conversation interesting.

]]> Conservative cosplayers, Carney's mark on world politics and Chinese electric cars (feat. Paris Marx and Supriya Dwivedi) Rachel Gilmore 01:04:21 A lot has happened in Canadian politics in the last little while, so I figured we’re overdue for a little check in. Canada made a mark (get it?) on the world stage when Carney gave a widely-lauded speech at Davos. This came after the prime minister made some moves to diversify Canada’s trade — including nailing down a deal for Chinese electric vehicles to come to Canada. Speaking of nailing things down, the Conservatives just had their convention, where they locked down their love affair with Pierre Poilievre. He’s here to stay, folks, as are the lies in their fundraising emails! Seriously — just this week, they claimed the mainstream media stood on a stage and proclaimed they have Mark Carney’s back. Just one hitch: the guy who said it represents the scripted TV and film industry, not the journalism industry. But hey, at least the event that launched a new Conservative lie also gave us that beautiful moment of Carney in Hollander’s Team Canada fleece. Carney wasn’t the only one playing dress up. Conservative MP Jamil Jivani spent this week cosplaying as someone who has any role in trade negotiations when he went on a seemingly rogue trip to Washington. Oh, and on top of all that, the polls are looking bleak for the NDP as their leadership race enters its home stretch. There is a lot to talk about — so I’m calling for backup. Paris Marx is the host of the podcast Tech Won’t Save Us. He’s a tech critic, an author, a podcaster and a fan favourite on this podcast. Supriya Dwivedi is a former senior advisor to former prime minister Justin Trudeau. She’s a regular talking head on some very popular shows, but today I’m stealing her for my own. I hope you enjoy the episode! A lot has happened in Canadian politics in the last little while, so I figured we’re overdue for a little check in.

]]> How do ordinary people become agents of state murder? (feat. Yannick Veilleux-Lepage) Rachel Gilmore 00:58:43 It’s been…a tough couple of weeks. Armed thugs are gunning down protesters in broad daylight on American streets, and the administration has been lying to the public to defend those executions. It’s raised a lot of questions for me, as both a Canadian trying to avoid our country’s tendency of emulating what the U.S. does, and as a human being trying to understand how people can do such evil things to each other. So when I saw Dr. Yannick Veilleux-Lepage’s post on Bluesky, it struck a chord. He asked, “How do seemingly ordinary people become agents of state murder?” He then posted a whole thread of various great thinkers, academics and more who have grappled with that very question. It’s one that I want to grapple with now, too — so I asked Yannick to join me on the show to help me do it. Dr. Yannick Veilleux-Lepage is a professor at the Royal Military College of Canada. He’s an expert of tech, far-right extremism and terrorism tactics. And I am really hoping he can help us make sense of these utterly senseless times — or at least, we can talk about it all.

]]> Heather McPherson knows how to win. Can she win NDP leadership? (feat. Heather McPherson) Rachel Gilmore 00:53:50 As you know by now, it’s NDP leadership week on the pod. NDP supporters have about one week left to sign up for a membership, which is the only way to vote in that race. So far, Bubble Pop listeners have gotten to know all the candidates — except one. Heather McPherson is the only proven winner in this race. She’s the sole sitting NDP MP running to replace Jagmeet Singh. Not only that, but she’s an Alberta NDP MP who has held onto her Edmonton-area seat since 2019, even surviving the decimation of her party in the most recent election. Before entering politics, Heather worked in the non-profit sector where she worked for human rights, sustainable development and global justice. She’s also got a master’s degree in education, focused on Indigenous knowledge and sustainability. In her time as an elected MP, she’s taking on some serious files — perhaps most notably, foreign affairs, which saw her work tirelessly to push Parliament to act on Israel’s genocide in Gaza. She’s not afraid of a fight — and she has shown Canada that she can win them. Now, she’s widely seen a frontrunner in the NDP leadership race. She even clinched an endorsement from the high-profile former NDP MP Charlie Angus. But the first endorsement to come from a current NDP MP, Leah Gazan, went to Avi Lewis. This comes after Leah also took issue with Heather’s messaging on “purity tests” within the NDP, something that’s at the centre of a heated debate about how big the NDP’s tent should be allowed to get. Today, you’ll hear Heather’s take on the future of her party — and her vision to lead it. As you know by now, it’s NDP leadership week on the pod.

]]> Rob Ashton wants the NDP to eat the rich. Will the party like the taste? (feat. Rob Ashton) Rachel Gilmore 00:56:49 It’s NDP leadership week on the pod — hence the extra episode. You might be thinking, ‘but Rachel, New Democrats will choose Jagmeet Singh’s successor in March! Why now?’ Well, my friends, the deadline to sign up to have a say in that race is coming up much, much sooner. To vote in the race, you have to be an NDP member by January 28 — that’s less than two weeks from now. So as you can imagine, the people who want to win that leadership are hustling to get their supporters signed up. That’s why I’m also trying to make sure you, my wonderful, perfect and incredibly charming bubble pop listeners, get to meet all these candidates. That way, you can decide if you want to have a say in who wins — before it’s too late. You’ve heard from Tony McQuail, Tanille Johnston and Avi Lewis. Well today, I’ve got another leadership hopeful lined up for you: Rob Ashton. This guy is the worker’s worker. He has spent over 30 years as a dockworker and union leader. He’s currently the National President of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union for Canada. He’s also very clear that he’s not a politician. To that I say: well, not yet! What he is, however, is laser-focused on issues like affordability, inequality, and the wealth gap. While he gives off the vibe of a gruff version of Santa Claus, you can forget the coal — this guy isn’t afraid to punch a hole right through the stockings of the billionaire class. Speaking of not pulling punches, Rob has made headlines for actually criticizing one of his NDP leadership competitors — something you don’t see much in these New Democrat races. Then there’s his little AI-related oopsie that got him in some hot water with potential supporters. Hey, it’s keeping things interesting. That’s why I’m thrilled to welcome Rob Ashton on today’s show. It’s NDP leadership week on the pod — hence the extra episode.

]]> Avi Lewis is taking big swings. Will he strikeout or hit a home run? (feat. Avi Lewis) Rachel Gilmore 00:49:37 Bubble Pop is BACK from the mid-season break! We’re jumping right in with the NDP leadership race. The party is inching closer to its March convention, where New Democrats will choose Jagmeet Singh’s successor. But an even more important deadline is coming up in a week: the membership sign-up deadline on January 28. Anyone who wants to cast a ballot for the next NDP leader will have to have an active membership by that date. That means candidates are racing to get their supporters signed up — before it’s too late. One of the people vying for those precious membership votes in the hopes of helming the NDP is Avi Lewis. He’s a veteran journalist — I mean, this guy talked politics for muchmusic — and a documentary filmmaker. He’s also an associate professor at the University of British Columbia, and has a history of deep involvement with efforts for bold climate-focused societal change, from the Leap Manifesto to the Green New Deal. Now, he’s being portrayed as one of the frontrunners in the NDP leadership race. He’s got a message of tough talk for billionaires and is taking big swings with unabashedly progressive ideas for the cost of living. But he’s never been elected as an MP — and he’s already facing some barbs from another candidate, Rob Ashton, who has accused Avi Lewis of dividing the party. Was that…the first time anyone in this race hasn’t violently agreed with another candidate? Anyway, all this sets the stage for a great conversation. I hope you enjoy it!

]]> Looking back at an unhinged year of Canadian politics (feat. Paris Marx) Rachel Gilmore 01:07:53 Today is the last episode of Bubble Pop with Rachel Gilmore before we take a little mid-season pause for the holidays. We’re going to do one of my favourite things: talk shit about politics with a very good friend of the show. It’s been an interesting year. We got a new prime minister, saw the Liberals become more like conservatives, the conservatives become more like MAGA, and the NDP try very hard to become relevant again. There’s a lot to cover, so I’m calling a friend for backup. Paris Marx is the host of the podcast Tech Won’t Save Us. He’s a tech critic, an author, a podcaster and a fan favourite on this podcast. I’m a very excited to have him join us for this final episode before the holidays!

]]> Was voting for the budget a mistake? (feat. Elizabeth May) Rachel Gilmore 01:04:40 Today’s guest has been at the heart of some of the most integral moments of Canadian politics in recent weeks — and has the metaphorical scars to prove it. Green Party Leader Elizabeth May was the lone opposition MP who voted to support Mark Carney’s government in a recent budget vote. She agreed to do so only after Carney had affirmed Canada’s commitment to meeting its Paris Agreement climate targets. A little over a week later, Mark Carney signed a memorandum of understanding with Alberta that clawed back several Trudeau-era climate policies and paved a pathway for a potential pipeline. This left May telling reporters that Carney “needs to consider what his word means when his word was given.” All of this has left me dying to have a conversation with the green party leader — and luckily, she has obliged me. I’m very excited to welcome Green Party Leader Elizabeth May on today’s show.

]]> Trample the charter and you get...a path to a pipeline? (with Emily Lowan and Karla Marx) Rachel Gilmore 00:56:43 The Alberta government just signed a memorandum of understanding with the federal government that lays out the conditions for a new oil pipeline. It’s very unlikely that this pipeline will come to be, given coastal First Nations and B.C. aren’t too keen on it (to put things lightly) and it needs a private proponent. But Carney still seems to be trying to de-risk the pipeline for a potential private investor, including telling them he’d be willing to “adjust” the tanker ban off the coast of B.C., which protects those waters from oil spills. In doing this, he’s pissed off coastal First Nations, B.C., the Bloc Quebecois, the Green Party and one of his own cabinet ministers who just resigned from cabinet. All to placate Alberta — the same province that is addicted to invoking the notwithstanding clause, primarily using it to trample on the rights of trans kids. I said we’ve got a lot to talk about, didn’t I? Luckily, we’ve got some great guests to help me do it. Today, we’re joined by Dr. Victoria Bucholtz, aka Karla Marx, Calgary’s most-naked drag queen. She’s the Alberta Organizer for the 2SLGBTQ rights group Queer Momentum. We’re also welcoming back the B.C. Green Party Leader, Emily Lowan. She’s a climate activist and organizer and the first Gen-Zer to lead an official party in Canada I hope you enjoy the show!

]]> Getting to know the underdogs in the NDP leadership race (feat. Tanille Johnston and Tony McQuail) Rachel Gilmore 01:14:01 In one week, the NDP leadership candidates will face off in the first debate of the race to replace former NDP leader Jagmeet Singh. But who is actually running and what the heck do they stand for? Well, today, you’re getting to hear from two of the candidates. I’m calling them The Underdogs, because they might not have the same profile as some of their competitors — but that is exactly why it’s so important that you get to know them before you decide which horse to back in this race. First up, you’ll be hearing from Tanille Johnston — she’s a social worker, a mother, and a former city councillor who almost won a federal NDP seat in the last election. Unfortunately, strategic voting split the vote on the traditionally NDP seat and Conservative MP Aaron Gunn came out on top. Tanille’s key priorities touch on housing, healthcare, the environment, free and accessible post-secondary education, increasing childcare spaces, electoral reform, public transit and increasing the representation and participation of Indigenous people. She’s doing everything she can to personally contribute to that last pillar, as she’s the first Indigenous woman in NDP history to run for the federal party’s top job. After we chat with Tanille, you'll get to meet Tony McQuail. Tony is a farmer, educator, and advocate for a more sustainable Canada. He's seeking to merge the NDP and the Greens to mitigate vote splitting — and, like many Canadians, he'd like to see electoral reform in this country. He’s running on three “R”s: Representation, Regeneration, and Redistribution. Tony says his approach prioritizes cooperation over division, renewable energy over resource depletion, and fairness over unchecked inequality. I hope you enjoy the episode!

]]> The Zoomer who became B.C. Green Party leader (feat. Emily Lowan) Rachel Gilmore 00:59:43 Could today’s guest represent the future of progressive politics? Last week, Zohran Mamdani shut up the naysayers when he became mayor of New York City. Critics raged that he was too young, too left-wing. But he sure showed them. Those are some of the same criticisms you can see being thrown Emily Lowan’s way, and it seems like that’s something she’s embracing. After the way the world embraced Mamdani, why wouldn’t she? See, in September, 25-year-old Emily Lowan, a climate activist and organizer became the first Gen-Zer to lead an official party in Canada when she won the BC Green Party leadership. She rode to that victory with a message of bold, progressive policy ideas that are appealing to those who are tired of complacent centre-left politics. She wants to aggressively expand unionization, reinstate vacancy control for rental housing, cap grocery prices and fight the oligarchs. This was the kind of messaging that saw Lowan sign up thousands of new BC Green Party members, including a nearly tenfold increase in youth membership. Now, on the heels of Mamdani’s victory and in the midst of world leaders meeting to discuss existential climate threats at COP30, who better to talk to about all this but Emily Lowan herself? I hope you enjoy the show! Could today’s guest represent the future of progressive politics? Last week, Zohran Mamdani shut up the naysayers when he became mayor of New York City.

]]> Getting things done despite all the doom (feat. Fae Johnstone) Rachel Gilmore 00:57:32 It was a busy week in Canadian politics. There was a budget, a floor crossing, a resignation the fallout from all three. We also got an incredible injection of hope with the election of Zohran Mamdani in New York. His election shows the importance of organizing, of refusing to give up in the face of democratic backsliding. That’s something today’s guest knows well. See, this Liberal government has been talking big game about making “generational investments” that are going to require “sacrifices.” But when it unveiled Budget 2025 this week, we learned how they’re paying for those investments — and who is sacrificing. Rather than offsetting this spending through, say, increasing the luxury tax on private jets and yachts, or increasing the unused house tax, the government scrapped both of those taxes. Instead, it chose to slash public service jobs and slow the growth of program spending. In the months leading up to this budget, it became clear that some departments’ programs would be hit harder than others. See, ministers were asked to search for savings within their departments under what the government called its “Comprehensive Expenditure Review.” The goal was to reduce program spending in those departments by 15 per cent over the next few years. Factoring in the conclusion of current funding programs, the Department for Women and Gender Equality’s budget was set to decline by 81 per cent over that period of time. So, just like they did when Mark Carney initially got rid of and, ultimately, brought back the Women and Gender Equality Minister, women and 2SLGBTQIA+ rights groups got loud. Over 175 of them called on the government to maintain this funding in the 2025 budget. As a result of their unrelenting advocacy, they mitigated this damage and made sure the cuts wouldn’t be so deep. Queer Momentum’s executive director Fae Johnstone was one of the badass women who was part of this successful push to save some of WAGE’s funding. She’s a relentless advocate for 2SLGBTQIA+ rights in this country at a time when that work is more necessary than ever. That’s why I am so stoked to welcome her on the show today.

]]> Tradwives, memes, Nordic sh*t: a look at today's far right (with Amarnath Amarasingam and Amy Mack) Rachel Gilmore 00:56:25 It’s Halloween, and I’ve got an episode that’s straight out of your nightmares ready today. Because there’s nothing scarier than a true spooky story. And today, we’re breaking down something very terrifying: far-right culture. See, there are actually secret ways these guys signal to each other that they’re part of the far-right. They also have their own in-group jokes, art, music, and day-to-day practices. Saying or doing a lot of this stuff doesn’t inherently mean you’re part of the far-right. But if you’re part of the far right, you’re probably saying or doing some of this stuff. Luckily, we’ve got a rosetta stone to translate it all. A new book was just published called “Contemporary Far-Right Culture: the Art, Music, and Everyday Practices of Violent extremism” And I got my grubby little paws on it. It’s a fascinating read that tells you all about the actual culture of the far-right today, from the QAnon group chats to tradwife influencers to christgram, far-right fiction and fashwave. Who better to help us dig into all of this than one of men who edited this new book, and another top expert on the far right. Amarnath Amarasingam is one of the country’s top experts on extremism. He’s an associate professor at Queen’s university and is a senior research fellow at the Institute for Strategic Dialogue. Our other iconic expert voice is Amy Mack. She’s a Canada Research Chair in Digital Extremism, an assistant professor in new media at the University of Lethbridge AND she’s co-director of research at the Canadian Institute for Far-Right Studies.

]]> Can Canada's NDP be brought back from the brink? (feat. Peter Julian and Jiwon Jung) Rachel Gilmore 01:02:22 Today we’re talking about the New Democratic Party. It was a dark and stormy night when Canadians went to the polls in April…just kidding. But it was a tough day for the NDP, which lost party status as Canadians rallied behind Mark Carney’s Liberals in the face of a terrifying Trump presidency and his creepy Conservative shadow here at home. Now, the NDP is trying to answer one question: what happened? But for former NDP MP Peter Julian and former NDP candidate Jiwon Jung, that question isn’t enough. They also what to know: what can the NDP become? What do Canadians want it to be? That’s why they’ve both launched efforts to figure that out. Peter Julian’s NDP Renewal initiative and Jiwon Jung’s Reclaim the NDP are two complementary efforts to try to bring Canada’s NDP back from the brink. That’s why I’m so excited to have them both on the show today. Today we’re talking about the New Democratic Party.

]]> Rejecting complicity in the face of genocide (feat. Yipeng Ge) | Bubble Pop with Rachel Gilmore Rachel Gilmore 00:59:08 Today, I am so honoured to have the primary care physician Yipeng Ge back on the show. Yipeng has previously been on the ground providing aid in Gaza amid the genocide. He’s travelled with the activists who tried to march to Gaza to break Israel’s deadly siege, and he spent time on board a previous, recent freedom flotilla that tried to do the same, carrying medical supplies, prosthetics for children, medication and other essential humanitarian aid. But on top of his relentless, fearless advocacy to try to end Israel’s genocide in Gaza and Canada’s complicity, he’s also worked on and studied the structural and colonial determinants of health here at home. Given we just marked the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we’re going to talk about that too. I hope you enjoy the episode! Reminder that interviews are broadcast LIVE every Friday at 12pmET, where you can chat with fellow listeners and — using the Super Chat function on YouTube — suggest your own questions.

]]> How the 'manosphere' is turning classrooms into blaring alarms for the future (with Luc Cousineau) Rachel Gilmore 01:01:01 Today, we’re talking about something that makes me want to vomit: the manosphere. Unfortunately, a growing number of worryingly popular misogynistic influencers make their money by telling young men to hate women. While it’s hard to imagine this wouldn’t have an offline impact, research is emerging that is starting to tell us just how bad that impact is. A new paper from Emelia Sandau and Luc Cousineau, published in the journal Gender and Education, is one of the articles that paints that picture: "'Trying to talk white male teenagers off the alt-right ledge’ and other impacts of masculinist influencers on teachers." The researchers used data collected from the “teachers” subreddit community on Reddit.com to dig into how users described the influences of a “(re)surging misogyny on the jobs of teachers and in classrooms." See, those teachers are on the front lines, being bombarded with the rhetoric these kids are learning from these manosphere douchebags. The researchers found that students are “actively parroting male supremacist rhetorics at school and that is serving to devalue women teachers and make classrooms less safe.” In the end, the researchers conclude there is cause for concern regarding “the immediate impacts, as well as long-term consequences of masculinist and male supremacist ideologies on youth, teachers, and schools.” As a result, the Canadian Anti-Hate Network has launched a petition male supremacy in Canadian schools. To help us dig deeper into this seriously scary issue, I am thrilled to have one of the researchers behind this new paper on the show. Luc Cousineau is the co-founder of the Canadian Institute for Far-Right Studies and an instructor at Dalhousie University. He’s an expert on several issues including Men’s Rights Groups and Far-Right Extremism. Enjoy the episode! Today, we’re talking about something that makes me want to vomit: the manosphere.

The researchers found that students are “actively parroting male supremacist rhetorics at school and that is serving to devalue women teachers and make classrooms less safe.” In the end, the researchers conclude there is cause for concern regarding “the immediate impacts, as well as long-term consequences of masculinist and male supremacist ideologies on youth, teachers, and schools.” As a result, the Canadian Anti-Hate Network has launched a petition male supremacy in Canadian schools. To help us dig deeper into this seriously scary issue, I am thrilled to have one of the researchers behind this new paper on the show. Luc Cousineau is the co-founder of the Canadian Institute for Far-Right Studies and an instructor at Dalhousie University. He’s an expert on several issues including Men’s Rights Groups and Far-Right Extremism.

]]> On board the freedom flotilla trying to bring humanitarian aid to Gaza (with Yipeng Ge) Rachel Gilmore 00:50:13 I am thrilled to have primary care physician Yipeng Ge back on the show. Last time he was on, he was about to leave to join an effort to march to the Rafah Crossing in a bid to break Israel’s siege on Gaza. This time, he’s at the tail end of days spent on board a freedom flotilla that’s about to leave for Gaza, carrying medical supplies, prosthetics for children, medication and other essential humanitarian aid. The freedom flotilla coalition came into its preceding movement has been sending activists attempting to help bring aid to Gaza since 2008. You might be familiar with them because of their recent flotilla, the Madleen, which had climate activist Greta Thunberg on board along with many other inspirational people. Before it could deliver aid to Gaza, it was illegally intercepted by the Israeli government. Yipeng joins Bubble Pop from on board the freedom flotilla, the Handala.

]]> Canadians wanted to seize land and start a militia? Sounds exhausting (with Amarnath Amarasingam) Rachel Gilmore 00:51:05 This week, active members of the Canadian Armed Forces were hit with terrorism-related charges for planning to create an anti-government militia. Three men were charged in Quebec after allegedly “intending to forcibly take possession of land in the Quebec City area” and “planning to create anti-government militia,” according the RCMP press release. According to a release from the RCMP, “to achieve this, they took part in military-style training, as well as shooting, ambush, survival and navigation exercises. They also conducted a scouting operation.” On top of that, “a variety of firearms, some prohibited, as well as high-capacity magazines and tactical equipment were allegedly used in these activities.” Meanwhile, as part of the same bulletin, we learned that a fourth individual in his 30s is facing charges largely related to firearms, prohibited devices and explosives. “Searches conducted in January 2024 in the Québec City area led to the seizure of 16 explosive devices, 83 firearms and accessories, approximately 11,000 rounds of ammunition of various calibres, nearly 130 magazines, four pairs of night vision goggles and military equipment," it added. What’s even more harrowing about this is that it’s happening in the context of broader anti-government offline organizing, predominately from the far right. To help us understand this growing and serious issue, we’ve got one of the country’s top extremism researchers on the show today. Amarnath Amarasingam is an associate professor at Queen’s university and is a senior research fellow at the Institute for Strategic Dialogue. He’s written several books and his study of extremism and radicalization has seen him directly interview members of major international extremist groups, as well as their families and friends. He is truly one of the most important voices on an issue that I’d argue is one of the more pressing crises we face right now. That’s why I am so excited that he’s this week’s guest!

]]> How to get through Canada Day without being a total d*ck (with Pam Palmater) Rachel Gilmore 00:59:18 Canada Day just happened. But as folks celebrate outside of Parliament Hill, a man was just elected to its House of Commons who trivialized residential schools. On top of that, Bill C-5 just became law, despite vehement opposition from many Indigenous leaders. So this week, we’re talking about the colonialism that Canada was built on, and how its legacies are still hurting many Indigenous people and communities in more ways than you might realize. This might be a tough one for some folks to listen to, so feel free to skip this one if that’s the case for you. We’ll be here next time. But for those of you who are sticking around, I’ve got a phenomenal guest on the show today: Pam Palmater! She's Mi’kmaw lawyer, professor, author, speaker, & podcaster from Eel River Bar First Nation. Her voice is incisive, her mind is whip smart and she doesn’t suffer any BS.

]]> What's actually happening in Iran, Gaza, and in our mainstream newsrooms? (With Samira Mohyeddin) Rachel Gilmore 00:45:20 Today, we’re talking about the United States’ illegal attack on Iran. Yeah, politicians are trying to say it was legal — but international law experts say otherwise, and I’m inclined to listen to them over politicians. On top of all that, reporting from CNN on leaked intelligence suggests the attacks didn’t even achieve the goal that politicians are using to justify this illegal act: the destruction of nuclear sites. Meanwhile, before the United States even got involved at Israel’s behest, Israel had already lobbed strikes on Iran, killing hundreds of Iranian civilians, and prompting Iran to launch retaliatory strikes that killed 28 people in Israel. Altogether, the two countries fought for 12 days before a tenuous ceasefire was struck, one Israel immediately violated but that has otherwise held. But during those same 12 days, Israel killed at least 870 Palestinians in its ongoing genocide in Gaza. This is the reality that has prompted a group of Canadian journalists, titled Canadian Journalists for Justice in Palestine, to speak out this week with a press conference to remind us of our ethical and professional duties: “to report courageously, to challenge power unequivocally and to fiercely protect the integrity of our profession and the safety of our colleagues. The world is watching, and history will remember how we respond.” Samira Mohyeddin, an award-winning Iranian-Canadian journalist, was among those who spoke out this week. It’s not a surprise she was there. Samira has been fearlessly reporting on the genocide, putting many folks with far more institutional support to shame. On top of that, she has the lived and journalistic experience to share essential context with Canadians through her impressive work. That’s why I am so incredibly thrilled that Samira is this week's guest. Today, we’re talking about the United States’ illegal attack on Iran.

Paris is a whip-smart tech critic, the host of the podcasts Tech Won’t Save Us and System Crash, and writes the newsletter Disconnect. Paris is also my favourite person to gossip with about Canadian politics. Now that we’ve gotten a few weeks of a Carney government under our belts, it’s time to get chatting.

]]> How to use political tools to fight Canada's inaction on Gaza (with NDP MP Heather McPherson) Rachel Gilmore 00:43:17 Today, we’ve got NDP MP Heather McPherson on the show! There’s a lot of political news this week — but that’s not the reason I wanted to have Heather on. Yesterday, Heather held one of the most important press conferences I’ve seen in my almost decades-long career as a political reporter. She handed her microphone over to healthcare workers who have been in Gaza. Canadian healthcare workers can go where Canadian journalists cannot — into Gaza. That makes their testimony vital for cutting through lies and propaganda and exposing horrific realities. Heather joins us to talk about this press conference, the political push to get the government to act on this genocide, and the state of the federal NDP.

]]> What did you do with your power? (with Kagiso Lesego Molope) Rachel Gilmore 00:54:37 I am really excited about today’s guest!! Kagiso Lesego Molope is an award winning Indigenous novelist and playwright from South Africa, who currently lives in Canada. She’s an incredibly talented, accomplished writer. But on May 7 of last year, she made headlines for another reason: her bravery, and the cowardice she encountered as a result. See, Kagiso stepped on stage at the Politics and the Pen gala, a glitsy annual fundraiser attended by some of the most powerful people in Canada, and reminded them that children are dying of malnutrition in Gaza. In response, she was heckled, booed and kicked out of the event. We need more people like Kagiso in these powerful rooms, and way, way fewer of the kinds of people who heckled her and kicked her out. Her bravery, her compassion and her lived experiences are just some of the reasons I am thrilled to have her on the show today. We’re going to talk about Gaza, her experience in speaking out, and we’ll also get her take on the racist B.S. that was spewed in the Oval Office about South Africa this week. Enjoy!

While they’re constantly travelling around the world for their work, they’re actually Canadian! They also have some of the sharpest eyes for political analysis that I’ve encountered.

It's the final week of the election campaign -- and things are heating up. The debates came and went without anyone dealing -- or taking -- serious damage. Well, except the organizers. They royally screwed up the entire thing, inviting a clown car of grifters to lope through the debate site spewing falsehoods and shoving camera phones in everyone's faces. But that wasn't the only thing that happened this week. There was lots of other drama -- Including the return of the broligarchs. Have no fear. The Campaign Cops are here!

Paris Marx and I sat down — in the same city, for once (I know, I could barely believe it either) — to make sense of the chaos and crack jokes so we don’t cry.

See, few things seem to get Ottawa’s parliamentary press gallery quite as excited as the following two words: foreign interference. But are all foreign interference stories made equal? When should you worry about democracy, and when should you just worry journalists are getting overexcited? What about the threats to our democratic institutions that come from our own backyard? Carvin is going to help us answer those questions. As for the headlines, we’ve passed the halfway mark of the federal election campaign and things are heating up — so I’m going to devote the weekly news roundup to talking about that.

Today on the show, we’ve got the man behind those maps you’re seeing everywhere.  You know, the poll aggregations that our politicians probably see in their dreams and nightmares. That’s right, Philippe J. Fournier, the creator of 338Canada, is on the show. But first, I'll summarize the week’s biggest headlines so you don’t have to doomscroll. Here's what we'll be chatting about: Tariffs are here, and it’s bad.  Not as bad as it could have been, but that’s kind of like saying it’s not bad you had to listen to Nickelback on a car ride because it was one of their less-awful albums. It’s still Nickelback, and we’re still getting hit with tariffs. There’s also been drama on the campaign trail this week as candidates’ past comments have come back to haunt them, leading to several — mostly conservative — candidates dropping out of the race Then we’ll have to look at the crumbling democracy next door, because ultimately, that’s going to impact us too — and things are getting weird down there.

]]> Congrats! You survived the first week of the election | Campaign Cops (with Paris Marx) Rachel Gilmore 00:53:36 Well folks, we made it through the first week of the Canadian federal election campaign. It’s already proving to be deeply weird. Scandals are popping up and vanishing before opponents can shriek “resign!” Issues once thought to be key to victory are barely uttered from the mouths of pundits on panels. There’s only really two parties in serious contention, according to the polls. And it’s all because of one person: U.S. President Donald Trump, who has shoved his tangerine head into our elections in a major way. Good news: the Campaign Cops are here! Paris Marx and I sat down — on opposite sides of the earth — to make sense of the chaos and crack jokes so we don’t cry. Enjoy!

]]> It's all happening, baby (the Canadian election) | Campaign Cops with Paris Marx Paris Marx 00:34:22 Well folks, it’s finally here: we’re in an election campaign! On April 28th, Canadians will head to the polls and choose our new government. Until then, things could get very, very messy. Are you feeling overwhelmed? Are you looking for a source that’ll break down the news without nauseating both-sidesism and eye-glazing boredom? Well, you’re in luck. Introducing: Campaign Cops. I needed an outlet for my Big Feelings over the next five weeks. Luckily, my friend and fellow journalist Paris Marx felt the same. So every Monday, we’ll be doing something real cops never really seem to do: holding the most powerful people in our country to account. As politicians pander, promise and play dirty, we’ll be here to talk about it all. Here we go! Well folks, it’s finally here: we’re in an election campaign!

(with Taylor Lorenz) Rachel Gilmore 00:31:33 Tech and online culture journalist Taylor Lorenz joins me to look at the right wing dominance of the online world. There’s actual data to back up what we all probably suspected as the world around us got incredibly stupid: right leaning content dominates the online media landscape. That's according to a new study from Media Matters. You can read it here: https://www.mediamatters.org/google/right-dominates-online-media-ecosystem-seeping-sports-comedy-and-other-supposedly --- In this week’s roundup, it’s election time baby! Prime Minister Mark Carney is expected to pull the trigger on Sunday to plunge us into a campaign. Israel shattered the ceasefire this week in a horrific way. Trump is launching a full-scale attack on U.S. democracy with his latest showdown against the judiciary amid his incredibly cruel deportations. China just executed four Canadian citizens and trade tensions between our two countries are rising. Families are finally getting some closure after Marcedes Myran and Morgan Harris' remains were found during a Winnipeg landfill search.

But Khalil is a lawful permanent resident of the United States with a green card. Now, he's being held in a Louisiana detention centre. Authorities are pushing to revoke his green card. All this is happening with zero stated evidence of a crime.

To help us make sense of the senseless, award-winning media critic Sana Saeed joins us on the show.

In this week’s news roundup, we will — as we always seem to have to these days — be talking about the latest with tariffs and annexation.

But Canada is also getting a new prime minister! In fact, by the time you’re listening to this, we’ll already have one.

Elon Musk is having a very hard time with all of his companies these days, which is hilarious

The U.S. is finally throwing Ukraine a bit of a bone after abusing its leadership in front of the world while kissing Russian ass.

Meanwhile the Trump administration is remaking the department of education and the environmental protection agency — and while the former is bad for America, the latter is scary for the entire world.

And lastly, we’ll talk about the horrific violation of Mahmoud Khalil’s freedom of speech.

She says the party shouldn’t try to be Conservative-lite.

But will the Liberals listen? Or will they make the same mistake the Democrats made down south?

I ask her that question, and more!

In this week’s news roundup, we’re talking tariffs, tariffs and more tariffs.

There’s also been a major U.S. Supreme Court decision that is actually…slightly reassuring?

Trump addressed Congress, lied a ton, and the Democrats showed their incompetence.

The world is responding as the U.S. turns on Ukraine.

Attacks on trans folks’ rights in the U.S. are continuing — and not always from the usual suspects.

Finally, the Liberal leadership race will crown its champion on Sunday.

A push to boycott Amazon -- for good. A confrontation during a NATO meeting in Brussels. Those are just a few of the battles NDP MP Charlie Angus has taken on.

He says he's taking the fight against fascism seriously and other politicians should too.

On today's show, Charlie Angus tells us about his fight for the future.

THIS WEEK IN NEWS:

Last week, I said Trump took a blowtorch to the international rules-based order. Well this week, he stomped on the ashes.

Germany fought off its far-right party while American conservatives spent their week throwing Nazi salutes.

Jeff Bezos and the White House took a steaming dump on press freedom.

Measles is back in the U.S. and Canada, despite being previously declared eradicated in both country — Make America Healthy Again, am I right?

The Liberals pulled ahead of the Conservatives in an Ipsos poll for the first time since 2021 as their leadership race heats up.

Over in the provinces, Danielle Smith continues to be dogged by a private healthcare scandal.

And Ontario chose its premier this week.

There's more, but I'd run out of characters! It was a huge week for news, so let me save you a doomscroll.

OTHER NEWS THIS WEEK:

Trump took a blowtorch to the international rules-based order this week.

A German election is right around the corner, the latest test of Elon Musk’s push for global political influence.

Pierre Poilievre is simping for right-wing media again.

There are a group of terrifyingly brainrotted Canadians who actually want to live in the 51st state.

The full extent of Trump’s ability to be truly autocratic is getting much closer to being tested as key cases wind their way to the Supreme Court.
