Is There Going to Be a War Over the Arctic?
The Arctic is quickly becoming the center of a geopolitical shitstorm. We’re talking power, resources, and territory at stake. And everyone wants a piece of it. Donald Trump floated taking Greenland and Canada to make his claim. But he’s not the only one. Russia’s making moves. So is China. And Canada? Politicians, left and right, are talking about it. Host Noor Azrieh sits down with Gavin John, a freelance journalist embedded in the Arctic, and asks, what’s really at stake for Canada in the Arctic? Is this frozen tundra our greatest vulnerability or our most valuable asset?And the latest on, the crash and burn of Liberal candidate Ruby Dhalla, and PM Justin Trudeau’s Ukraine visit. Oh, and don’t forget the Ontario election.

Preston Manning goes BEAST MODE
Has everybody lost their minds? Are we buying guns and deploying troops and making plans to fend off a U.S. invasion? Are some of us pre-emptively surrendering, trying to be the first to bend a knee and curry favour with our inevitable orange overlord? What happened to our steely northern resolve? We’re supposed to survey the histrionics of our melodramatic American neighbours, and then we make measured, sober, judicious decisions. When did we forget how to do that?Maybe right now we need a bit of dad-like, prairie common sense. Maybe what we need is a bit of Preston Manning. You know the name, or did you forget about Manning and how Reform roared out of the West to reshape Parliament and the conservative movement? He may come across as a Prairie-land Mr. Rogers, a local pastor who happened to be in Parliament. But the truth is, if you want to understand populism, particularly populism in Canada, Manning just might be your man. Populism is not a dirty word to him.Host: Jesse BrownCredits: Tristan Capacchione (Audio Editor and Technical Producer), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), max collins (Director of Audio), Jesse Brown (Editor and Publisher)Guests: Preston ManningFact checking by Sam KonnertAdditional music by Audio NetworkFurther reading:Preston Manning: Canada's response to Trump needs common sense, not mindless hysterics — The National PostSponsors: Douglas: Douglas is giving our listeners a FREE Sleep Bundle with each mattress purchase.
