Episode Synopsis


It’s Monday, and we’re starting the week with a packed lineup. Trump’s praising hockey, America is doubling down on energy, and Canada is—once again—letting climate activists run the mic. Jim and Iain walk through why Canadians want pipelines, why Joly keeps stumbling, and how Tim Hortons ended up relying on the federal government for HR. We dig into digital ID concerns, the truth about Canada’s military, and odd decisions inside the Department of Immigration. Plus: BC Conservatives push to repeal DRIPA, massive fraud breaks in the U.S., the EU picks another fight with Musk, BRICS tightens its grip, and the AI wave keeps reshaping everything. A lot to unpack for a Monday.
