Thank you @gregmaceachern.bsky.social for calling out Pierre Poilievre’s trips to the UK, Germany & the US - that he needs to be speaking to people who can effect change, not the audience he’s been putting himself in front of that have no power to do anything.

How on earth can job loss be a real opening & opportunity for an almost non existent NDP? Mel Richer saying they can talk about what they’ll do for the worker & how they’ll deal with affordability - yes they can. Can they “do” anything about tariffs & a war in the Middle East?

Refreshing interview with NWT Premier Simpson. While some other Premiers are unhappy & snipe about what they want & aren’t getting from the federal government, Mr. Simpson in reply to Karina Roman told her that they are grateful for what they are given & not looking at downsides.

Not a strong “question” from Karina Roman on “PnP” - that it’s hard to see that the US wouldn’t have seen the response from Iran coming - it did however offer Ian Bremmer of the Eurasia Group the opportunity to offer an expansive explanatory response.
#cdnpoli #pnpcbc
This is not Karina Roman’s forte. That said, it’s not an easy task to step in for someone else at the best of times. Even more difficult in this case, when you’re filling in for a journalist/host of David Cochrane’s calibre. As “PnP”viewers, we’ve been spoiled by having had the best.
#pnpcbc
Why?
Karina Roman asking panelist Cameron Ahmad (former strategist for PM Trudeau) if we are any better off now than we were - why does she think his opinion on that carries any weight?
Might be more informative to ask that of an economist.

I’m sure it’s just me but I’m finding it difficult to listen to this discussion between Karina Roman & Gary Anandasangaree on “Power & Politics”. Both the way the questions are asked & how they’re being answered. It’s not smooth & flowing.
They’ve lost my interest.

NDP President Mary Shortall on “Power & Politics” believes they will “get there” in rebuilding the party.
I respect & admire her commitment to her party & what they have always stood for, however, does that party philosophy still meet where we are now as a country?

Karina Roman interviewing NDP Heather McPherson on “Power & Politics” about Idlout’s crossing and her own chances in the vote to be party leader - Ms. McPherson already sounds defeated.

A short clip on “Power & Politics” of interim NDP leader Don Davies saying to journalists that the NDP will never stop fighting for Canadians.
That’s an admirable statement but with only 6 seats now in the HoC & a new leader who might have what it takes, how viable is the NDP?
#cdnpoli #pnpcbc
I said this then.
I’m saying it again today.
It makes a difference.

Kate McKenna, reporting to Karina Roman on “Power & Politics”, used the word “vague” in discussing Trump’s speech & answers to questions about the war in Iran.
“vague” - among other things.
#pnpcbc
Finding it a real slog following along with “Power & Politics” tonight. Lack of enthusiasm in delivery and discussion.
Then cutting to air a rambling, bragging, almost incoherent Trump speak publicly since starting a war in Iran.
Not a great start to the week.
#cdnpoli #pnpcbc
Finding it hard to care about former political staffers thoughts on current events. Listening to Brian Clow former Deputy Chief of Staff to PM Trudeau discussing today’s trade talks on “Power & Politics” tells me nothing new. He knew things then. Not so much now.
#cdnpoli #pnpcbc
Calling out disinformation is important.
This is dangerous. Because there are people who will believe it and run with it.

Kudos to Katie Simpson who is handling a “fly by the seat of her pants” afternoon on “Power & Politics” with aplomb as she waits to break for an upcoming press conference by Minister Anand & the PM’s speech in Canberra.

Evan Solomon is putting on theatrical concern on #PnPCBC. Talking about what he "demanded" from Sam Altman, but he is still not actually threatening proper regulation of digital asbestos, but is "demanding" that those companies do more self-enforcement.
Conservative MP Michael Chong skirting Katie Simpson’s question on “Power & Politics” if he thinks what the US and Israel are doing in Iran is illegal.
He answered the question at length but said nothing about illegality.
I wonder why that is.

Great audience for Poilievre’s speech in the UK. According to CBC’s Tom Parry, former PM Liz Truss whose term as PM was outlived by a head of lettuce was sitting in the front row. Make of that whatever you will.

Lloyd Axworthy, Former Foreign Affairs Minister telling Katie Simpson on “Power & Politics” that “we look weak right now” re the Prime Minister’s stance on the Iran conflict.
Sometimes it’s worth hearing from former politicians.
Sometimes it’s not.
#cdnpoli #pnpcbc
Yeah, Katie Simpson is hosting #PnPcbc !
Bob Rae: Reporters need to be careful when they ask me to expand on something. I'll keep you here for a couple of hours.

Poilievre tells Peter Mansbridge he now wants to do interviews with everyone.
Great. I fully expect to see him on “Power & Politics” without delay. David Cochrane has openly, on air, invited him to come on the show on numerous occasions. I’m looking forward to their exchange.

Zain Velji arrows hitting the target about Poilievre and his overseas trip, saying it puts him in the same target area as Prime Minister Carney - one year behind. 🎯
#cdnpoli #pnpcbc
Anne McGrath zeroing in on the language Conservatives are using in their immigration debate and rhetoric - they are copying that used by US officials.
Canadians see it and not only are we alarmed we are angered by it. We are better than that.

DeLorey says Poilievre’s upcoming trip to Germany & the UK is a message to get our products to market.
Let’s see - how many times has it been mentioned that Poilievre has never in all these years made an overseas trip?
He’s got a “to do” check list and this is on it.
#cdnpoli #pnpcbc
No surprise to see Fred DeLorey picking up where Lisa Raitt left off on “Power & Politics”.
Kind of like watching the baton passing in a Conservative relay race to boost the revamp of Poilievre.
Wonder if they’ll make it to the finish line or will Poilievre drop the baton?

Every time Con. MP Adam Chambers is on “Power & Politics” I’m reminded how I could better spend my time.
He speaks but it’s just words. Tonight Karina Roman’s questions made it obvious.
Highlight of the interview from Chambers: the US has elections. China does not.
Who knew?

There are people that I want to hear from about the GDP data.
The Conservative trade critic is not one of them. #PnPCBC
