Hey now I'm a mutant lol - my work is done

I think JT's US podcast appearances are less about appealing to the Canadian voters, and more about setting him up for the speakers' circuit. He'll frame himself as the man who stood for what was right (carbon taxes, Emergency Act, etc.) against the forces of populism and demise of democracy, and hope to be paid the big bucks for his thoughts. Ugh.

Happy mutant listener

Hi from one of the mutants - loved Scott's comment "you're the guy!" - we need statesman Trudeau not analyst Trudeau.

Trudeau is the reason that democracy is at risk.

Jordan and Scott - right on . There is a problem with Doc compensation, not a tax issue.

JT’s comments are funny considering his political brand is division and wedge issues

To Jordan's "Hey You" Living an an encampment at the New Brunswick, Nova Scotia border is isn't going to end the carbon tax. That being said, its a lot more effective than living in an encampment in Montreal or New York for so called Palestine.

The capital gains tax is really just an "in-heritance tax" and was present "wrongly":( Scott did Poilievre not call out corporations back in February? Trudeau just doesn't get social media. Don't do a podcast and then turn-off the comments! Who are the Liberals, the CBC? Patronizing what Canadians don't know and are wrong, only points out 9 years of failure. Scott analogy was perfect. Liberals lost Canadians in Summer of 22, should have never blinked with the Atlantic provinces. Especially if your peddling a climate ideology, like it was a religion. Jordan wishful thinking. CPC will eraser anything the NDP have forced the Liberals to do. Both Trudeau and Singh are done. They can't even go out in public without their "Royal Guard". Freeland is the only Liberal that has done research, and she knows she would loose worse than Trudeau. "Hay U", Jordan, Diagalon is a meme, entertainment, you're foolish if you don't think Canadians don't see this. Scott, Eby blinked, face it, time is up for Horgath's NDP. Cory, Kenny fell in line with the "Covid" narrative. He also lost the voters. Great show guys. The CBC would be wise to air this show just as it is, it won't save them, but might keep them around. Trudeau can proudly claim, he has brought Canadians together, in their hate for this Liberal-NDP government. What a legacy! Thanks for the opinions:)

Great episode. In my practice working with homeowners, 8 out of 10 are mad, sad, and angry. Cost of living and their frustration of trying to get through each month above water has them all wanting change. Taxes of all sorts continue to go up and Climate Change is no longer a priority to their individual household.

This was an excellent discussion. A Canadian audience might not be aware but in the UK, doctors are trying to get a living wage. In Canada, doctors are fighting for fair capital gains treatment.

Fan fricken tastic podcast folks! Jordan, you were sharp as hell on this one. Well done.

The second round of the fight on capital gains will be when people realise this is a backdoor inheritance tax. When you're alive you can-- for the most part-- plan around the higher inclusion rate but the major exception is when you die. There are very few people who have more than $250,000 in capital gains but a lot of estates will trigger the higher inclusion. As we head into the Boomer wealth transfer I would expect that the majority of payers of the higher inclusion rates will be the estates of deceased individuals by orders of magnitude greater than the number of wealthy individuals who will pay the higher inclusion rate.

Best podcast i watch, keep it up

Contrast corporate subsidies in the EV industry with taxing the doctors....such odd choices for a government that labels itself 'progressive'.

How much do we need to contribute to see Jordan and Cory's side chat?

Credit to our PM for instilling such a passion to exercise my right to vote as I never thought I would feel.

David: Instead of looking at raising your taxes as "making you the villain" (and yes, raising my taxes too, as one who has managed through thrift, hard work and dumb luck to accumulate more wealth than I really need) why don't you (and I) tell our government that we offer to pay more taxes to enable more subsidized housing, more support for the disabled and disadvantaged, better pay and work/life balanced for our health care providers. Taking a position that we expect more from our government at the same time we want less tax is illogical.

well as a govt minister said, we can get more foreign doctors if canadian doctors leave

but but trudeau says its only affecting .013% of the people - what a crock of shit by this gov't

Toronto Anchors are real estate investors and landlords

Economic chaos requires blatant elements of fraud with recurrent dashes of collective ignorance. These three characters exemplify those political virtues to the hilt.

I'd love to see the news programs where Scott Reid enraged the anchors.

By all accounts Mr Eby escaped the curse of politics by appearing to be a relatively active cadaver. This is not to suggest the Premier is brain dead but rather he is the inheritor of Mr Horgan's intellect.

I never realized how young Glen was when he was in office. Must have been the 'tasche he rocked. Bizzare how corruption is never mentioned when dicussing the Christy Clark government. She was openly taking a second salary - get real.

Canada means nothing to these talking heads. And their relentless yapping means nothing to most Cdns. At what point did these caucasian devils identify themselves as angelic concepts? It may be miscellaneous forms of sociopathy following the track of the son of a long dead PM.

James' bubble-universe definition of "unsustainable" (devoid of ANY connection to the climate systems collapsing around us) is a thing to behold. Freedom from the reality of the physical world. How does that work? Carbon subsidies exponentially dwarf carbon taxes in this country as he well knows, yet he pretends that the carbon tax propaganda is true because of its success with a compromised news media and half-wit journalists. What a deranged mind of economic-illiteracy and science-denial. With near zero push back from the panel.

The recent Liberal budget seems like an emptying of the National Treasury in hopes it hopes the Liberal political fortunes and if not, they hand a stinking mess of a divided country to the Opposition. After several years of tough "clean up" the country by the Conservatives, Canada may be ready for Sunny Ways again and will hopefully re-elect the Liberals! The T2.0 Liberal legacy - legal pot, national debt and a divided country!

This government just needs to stop poking Canadians in the eye and telling them they are blind not to see how great they are.

I am totally confused by what Ian had to say about Conservatives not expecting much and that they know they aren't going to get much from government. So why would we vote for them. What will get then besides our anger being stoked up?

Bring it home!

It was Pollievre’s plan (brilliant according to The NDP guy) to use crown land.

All things considered this unworthy budget is just another sign of depraved indifference. Or rather "it's got stuff in it you can sell"

I'd be very surprised if the interest rate cut(s) total more than half a point in total for 2024. I can't see it helping the Liberals.

Wow the liberal guy trying to equate the Fraser Institute with the basic dictatorship of communist China. That’s insane.

There is an Anti-Immigration sentiment on the Canadian left that is out growing any anti-immigration circles on the Canadian right. I think Brian Topp is misunderstanding progressives anti-immigrant stance is not copying conservative policy, rather it is more of an organic movement within the progressive circles. The Conservative province of Alberta has become the most pro-immigration province in Canada, so if progressives were copying the general mainstream conservative, it would be to be more pro immigration, not less. Let's not forget, the fundamental issue why the people's party was created, was because the Conservative party was too pro-immigration. And yet, the People's Party is still doing terrible in the polls.

Great discussion.

Trudeau is the biggest child in government

Why would Poilievre do anything to change the narrative. Trudeau has lost the crowd. Maybe the Liberal-NDP government will realize that when CPC hit 50. Sunny ways, my friend.

NDP guy has given up on NDP and giving all kinds of credit to Trudeau

Pollieve has been saying for a year that we should sell off land and buildings but NDP/Libs say he has no ideas - now it is in Liberal budget

It is concerning to hear so little of Poilievre's plans. At the same time, I'm looking forward to a prime minister who knows when to shut up.

The non-policy reason (there are a great many policy reasons) "progressives" are losing the working class vote in Canada is perfectly embodied by the santimonious answers by Topp and Murphy when touching on that very subject. They don't even try and hide their disdain for people who don't accept their basic anti-free market and identity politics narratives.

I find it so fascinating that one of the attack lines was “do Canadians want children running the government“ That’s been the last nine years of Trudeau’s virtue signalling nonsense

James Moore is a solid politico, who we all need in the next government. Even if you despise all things conservative, you should agree with my statement because he is competent. There is a big mess being left behind from Trudeau, and our nation would be better off having James as one of those at the cabinet table.

John Rustad's position on nurses and vaccines is informed by a lack of access in rural areas coupled with a general skepticism about vaccines more broadly. It's a play for rural ridings in the north and the interior, and to try to ensure that there are as few seats as possible after the election so that the BC Conservatives will be in a stronger position after the election when the merger inevitably happens. There was a very long debate about this at UBCM last year, brought forward by a smaller community in the interior.

Damn that was a good episodes folks. Kory continues to prove to me that I can disagree with someone on every single issue imaginable but still enjoy their commentary.

Pretty rich listening to Kory trash the Liberals for not increasing the disability payments enough, when Doug Ford cancelled the Basic Income pilot and gave pennies to OW & ODSP recipients.

It matters that a Trust Fund Baby is pretending to promote class issues. Trudeau has no clue. I had children with a Trust Fund Baby and I've been left in poverty. Maybe Scott is a Trust Fund Baby.

Asking Kory to give an honest opinion on Bonnie Crombie is like asking a fox to guard the henhouse and wondering if the fox would not eat the all the chickens. He literally is the Ford campaign architect, so how could he give any objective opinion on a Liberal.
