Are We Heading Into A Global Trade War? Apr 03, 2019

Show notes

Joining Alex Pierson for ON Point is Cyndee Todgham Cherniak, founding lawyer of Lexsage - a boutique international trade law firm, to discuss the possibilities of a global trade war. In the past few years global trade has been brought into question. Overseas, Brexit has more questions than answers, and things aren't much better here in North America. American and Chinese tariffs have been introduced on Canadian goods with no sign of being removed. At this point it seems like we're at a stalemate.

Point ON Point - Tuesday, April 2nd, 2019 Apr 03, 2019

Show notes

What do you get for speaking your truth in Justin Trudeau's Liberal party - you get fired. Jody Wilson-Raybould and Jane Philpott are now both out of the liberal caucus and will sit as independents. Both Wilson-Raybould and Philpott received minimal support from liberal party members who questioned their ethics. If ethics were of concern, then how come the liberals still support Justin Trudeau?

Americans are having less sex than ever Apr 02, 2019

Show notes

Peter Sherman in for Alex Pierson is joined by Jean Twenege, Author of I-Gen, to discuss how Americans are having less sex then ever. U.S. adults reporting no sex in the past year reached an all-time high in 2018.

But among the 23 percent of adults — or nearly 1 in 4 — who spent the year in a celibate state, a much larger than expected number of them were 20-something men, according to the latest data from the General Social Survey.

But this time, their filibustering member is flying solo.

In a press release Monday, the Conservative Party announced that finance critic Pierre Poilievre would kick off a “marathon speech” during debate on a motion asking the House of Commons to approve the federal budget in general: the motion is in effect a precursor to the introduction of a budget bill.

Point ON Point - Friday, March 29th, 2019 Mar 29, 2019

Show notes

There are bombshells and then there are what we heard today. We knew we were getting an updated statement from Jody Wilson-Raybould, but what we are learning from the secret recording moves the SNC-Lav scam to a whole new level. The tape backs Wilson-Raybould's allegations that she was pressured to get a deal done for SNC Lavalin. It doesn't just back JWR's allegations, it proves that everything she stated in her initial testimony was factual.

Point ON Point - Thursday, March 28th, 2019 Mar 28, 2019

Show notes

First Nations people are drinking poisonous water, but apparently Trudeau can find a good punch line out of it. The very people that Prime Minister Trudeau built his political campaign around are the ones he's now mocking. If this is how he talks in his personal life, can we really trust what he says in his public life?
