  Doug Ford, Danielle Smith, and Pierre Poilievre all seem to want to make sure we have the right to beat people up in our homes.

• The Return of Pierre

  Pierre Poilievre won his byelection and will be returning to Parliament in September. He’s raring to go, and probably drafting a whole bunch of new catchphrases and slogans. He’s back and ready to try and convince conservatives he’s the right man for the job.But, in the media, the picture being painted is a little less clear. One poll shows the party being neck and neck with the Liberals. Another shows a huge disparity. How do we make sense of all of this?Harrison Lowman joins Jesse to break it down.Host: Jesse BrownCredits: Tristan Capacchione (Producer), Lucie Laumonier (Associate Producer and Fact Checking), tom sayers (Audio Editor), max collins (Director of Audio), Jesse Brown (Editor)Guest: Harrison LowmanFurther reading: Poilievre’s Prospects: CPC voters back him; those who could’ve put him over the top are far less supportive - Angus ReidFor both Carney and Poilievre, success has nothing to do with their strengths and everything to do with their weaknesses - The Toronto StarPierre Poilievre attempts to recapture the narrative... | This Hour Has 22 MinutesAlex Jones’ Infowars will go up for sale yet again, judge rules | CNN BusinessB.C. nurse Amy Hamm gets suspension, fines for comments about transgender people - CTVNewsSponsors:oxio: Head over to canadaland.oxio.ca and use code CANADALAND for your first month free!BetterHelp: Visit https://BetterHelp.com/canadaland today to get 10% off your first month.If you value this podcast, support us!

• Titanic Mystery! Who Spiked the Chowder?

  Something wild happened in Nova Scotia during filming of the James Cameron film Titanic. Parts of the blockbuster were filmed in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, and on the last night of filming there, someone did something. Something that caused director James Cameron to question reality itself, something that resulted in the rest of the cast and crew being piled into vans and rushed to a nearby hospital. The cops looked into it, but they never figured out who was responsible.That mystery is now a piece of Canadian film industry lore. It has been whispered about and speculated on for decades. Lots of people have theories, but so far nobody has cracked the case. Now, Canadaland goes searching for the answer. Who spiked the Titanic chowder?Caleb Thompson (Post Production), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), max collins (Director of Audio), Jesse Brown (Editor and Publisher)Reported by Julian AbrahamFact checking by Lucie LAdditional music by Audio NetworkCan't get enough Canadaland?

• Are Carney’s Cuts “DOGE” Canada?

  In July, Mark Carney made it clear to public workers that there would be a tightening of the belt. Ministers were told to save 15% from their departmental budgets over the next three years. The deadline to do so is next week, August 28th. What that looks like in practice is pretty bleak. By 2028, it has been estimated that over 57,000 full-time equivalent workers will be laid off. Who will be laid off? And is this type of austerity bad governance?Meanwhile, in Ontario, Doug Ford is mandating a return to office for all workers, five days a week, come January 2026. Who will this affect?Host San Grewal and reporter Stacy Thomas break it down.Host: San GrewalCredits: Tristan Capacchione (Producer), Lucie Laumonier (Associate Producer and Fact Checking), tom sayers (Audio Editor), max collins (Director of Audio), Jesse Brown (Editor)Guest: Stacy ThomasPhoto: Creative edit by Tristan Capacchione, with photos from Gage Skidmore and Simon DawsonFurther reading on our websiteSponsors:oxio: Head over to canadaland.oxio.ca and use code CANADALAND for your first month free!
