Description
If you thought you’d heard the end of convoy politics, think again. The federal government’s argument that it was justified in using the Emergencies Act to dispel the convoy protests in early 2022 was dealt a blow this week. We speak with the former attorney general who helped invoke the act — and find out why he’s now leaving politics.
Then, two journalists dissect the politics of Tucker Carlson’s controversial tour of Alberta, where he sat down with Premier Danielle Smith.
We’ll also take a look at the government’s decision to cap study permits for international students — and the waves that will make in both the education community and provincial economies.
Plus — Ed Broadbent’s death has sparked some reflection over the NDP’s past, present and future. Two party strategists sit down to discuss where the party goes from here.
This episode features the voices of:
- David Lametti, Liberal MP and former minister of justice
- The CBC’s Jason Markusoff
- Shannon Proudfoot, Globe and Mail
- Alain Roy, vice-president, Colleges and Institutes of Canada
- Theo Argitis, Compass Rose Group
- Mike McKinnon, senior consultant, Enterprise Canada
- Melanie Richer, senior consultant, Earnscliffe Strategies

Canada is an illegal fentanyl exporter. Wait, what?: It’s true. Fentanyl is not only killing Canadians — organized crime gangs are making it here and selling it abroad, the RCMP says. A senior RCMP official responsible for fighting organized crime talks about efforts to disrupt the deadly supply chain. The House also checks in on the Halifax Security Forum, an annual gathering of some of the top minds in foreign policy and defence to see how they’re trying to navigate what some are calling a global “polycrisis,” as well as issues around Russia and Taiwan. Plus, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is picking his words carefully when it comes to the war between Israel and Hamas. Why did he change his tone somewhat this week — and what does it mean for his government? This episode features interviews with: - Mathieu Bertrand, RCMP chief superintendent of Serious and Organized Crime and Border Integrity - Comfort Ero, CEO, International Crisis Group - Evgenia Kara-Murza, Russian democratic a by The House
