Carney replaces one Trudeau-era Minister with another Trudeau-era Minister. Plus, we go behind the velvet rope of the Hill’s most “exclusive” celebrity party. Oh, and Carney makes Smith’s pipeline dream come true.
When Carney Met Smith-y
Alberta Premier Danielle Smith has been pressuring Prime Minister Mark Carney for months on a new pipeline to the BC coast, and after a new MOU, she’s closer than ever. Host Noor Azrieh unpacks this deal with The Hub’s Falice Chin.

The NDP is in the fight of its life: 7 seats, debt, infighting, and vibes of a group project gone wrong.
Tonight, 5 people who want to inherit this chaos hit the debate stage.

Here’s who they are and why they think they can fix things:

The Liberals say they’re “taking back control” of Canada’s immigration system by cutting study permits and temporary residents by half.

But what happens to the 3 million people already here?

Elizabeth May says she doesn’t want to ruin Christmas with an election, but she will if Mark Carney doesn’t budge.

And a B.C. court ruling that could redraw Canada’s map.
Elizabeth May on Holding the Balance of Power
There’s chaos in Ottawa! Green Party leader Elizabeth May doesn’t want to ruin Christmas with an election… but she says she will if Mark Carney doesn’t budge. And in B.C., a court ruling is throwing private property rights —and maybe even Canada’s map — into question. Host Noor gets the story from The Tyee’s Andrew MacLeod.

Jamil Jivani does Charlie Kirk Lite on Canadian Campuses
Conservative MP Jamil Jivani is on a cross-country campus tour (sounds familiar…), with stops at universities across Canada. Jivani told Canadians to “join him” in discussing the future of our country and how we can restore the promise of Canada.
