Watching the power panel react with such disagreement & passion to Peter MacKay has been uplifting. I don’t think I’ve ever seen Andrew Thomson so vehement and Michele Cadario was right there beside him, backing him up.

And oh yes Shachi Kurl - the Prime Minister making the case to the U.S. voters via the NY Times to talk directly to Americans before the midterms.

#pnpcbc #cdnpoli

I’ll take Michele Cadario’s and Andrew Thomson’s take over the PM talking about the responsibility to look at extreme risk of military action from the U.S. over Peter MacKay’s for $400 David.

Listening to Evan Solomon discuss AI & data centres on “Power & Politics” - being questioned about the potential threat it poses. The questions alarmed me - the answers didn’t reassure me. Saying Solomon’s got a lot on his plate is an understatement. Hope he has the right plate.

David Cochrane is running circles around Evan Solomon on the digital asbestos issue, and Solomon keeps touting useless, voluntary measures and absolutely ignores the fact that the Americans won't allow any global regulation.
The fact that Solomon is on this file is *boggling*. #PnPCBC

Corey Hogan was not his usual comfortable self in that “Power & Politics” interview. The tone of his terse thank you and the look on his face as he was leaving were quite the tell.
Being in the hot seat in a well questioned interview left a mark.

Scaramucci praising Mark Carney as PM & casually needing to add gravitas to himself by tossing in that they have a personal relationship & that they spent time together in Davos.
I believe we call that name dropping.

What did this interview offer that we don’t already know?

#pnpcbc #cdnpoli

Anthony Scaramucci on “Power & Politics” - quite the Wednesday.

#pnpcbc #uspoli

Just did a double take. Looked up and saw BC Con MLA Peter Milobar on “Power & Politics” - thought for a minute it was a slimmed down Doug Ford and he’d relocated to BC. No such luck.

@davidwcochrane.bsky.social changes to labour code must also pass Charter scrutiny. There is nothing preventing a charter challenge on the application of the legislation to that level of scrutiny. #pnpcbc

“A political ploy.” “An opportunist.”
“Political opportunism.”
Statements made by BC Con MPs about David Eby calling an election.

If the Cons in BC were in power & another party was in chaos would they not be doing the same thing? Honour among politicians? I’m so naive.

#pnpcbc #cdnpoli

You don’t have to like a person you have to deal with regarding trade but you have to keep trying as Scott Moe said to David Cochrane. But if you can’t trust the person you’re dealing with because that person has shown himself to be untrustworthy, isn’t that an exercise in futility?

Leslie Church (Parliamentary Sec. to Minister of Jobs) is on “PnP” saying a lot & sounds knowledgeable but she’s not really answering the direct questions she’s being asked.
Either that or I’m missing something here in what she’s saying. Is she serving us a word salad?

#pnpcbc #cdnpoli

Listening to CBC’s Katie DeRosa describe configurations, infighting - and chaos & confusion - occurring in the BC Conservative Party it’s easy to see why Premier David Eby decided the time was ripe to call an election. He’d have been foolish not to.

#pnpcbc #bcpoli #cdnpoli

They’re balanced and as you said - intelligent. A serious question receives a serious answer and the conversation then deepens. So refreshing. For the host as well expect.

#pnpcbc #cdnpoli

This is what's needed all the time. If the Conservatives are going to preach falsehoods & bold innuendo then they better back them up with facts - asking Scheer point blank to verify his outrageous statement & receiving no answer exposes the disingenuousness of the party.

#cdnpoli #pnpcbc

Excellent observations about the interview with the Norwegian Prime Minister on “PnP”.

#pnpcbc #cdnpoli

The broad, far ranging interview with Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre on “Power & Politics” did not disappoint.
Smart, insightful questions with responsible, in-depth responses.
Feel confident in the relationship being forged between Canada and Norway.

#pnpcbc #cdnpoli

I do wish Avi Lewis would stop talking over the host. He does it every time he’s on “Power & Politics” (probably everywhere else as well) so you never quite get the question or the comeback just Avi on fast forward. And it’s rude.

#pnpcbc #cdnpoli

Vandana Kattar’s comments on “PnP” are well made. She’s asked if the Prime Minister ever sleeps - a question many of us ask.
She’s correct when she says Canadians see that the Prime Minister has a plan & that he’s working for the country, & we don’t see that from the Opposition.
