The Paikin Podcast

Philippe Sands, author and international law professor, joins Steve to discuss the historical “rupture” we are living through, whether Trump is the cause or a manifestation of this rupture, to what extent historical comparisons are a good guide to understanding what is happening today, whether international law is dead, the usefulness of the debate about whether the genocide label applies in Gaza, and the difference between genocide and crimes against humanity.
They also discuss Arlie Russell Hochschild’s book “Stolen Pride: Loss, Shame, and the Rise of the Right,” the anger many feel, populism, whether folks still care about climate change, adding ecocide to the list of international crimes, and Leonard Cohen.

They won power in BC for the first time in nearly a century. They’re now in power in BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario, Nova Scotia, and PEI. Is conservatism actually making a comeback in Canada?
Eleanor McMahon joins the Everything Political panel with former MPs Tony Clement and Martha Hall Findlay to discuss the BC election, conservatism in Canada today, and Carney’s “globetrotting” and his deal with Turkey.
McMahon then shares the story of the traffic “accident” that killed her husband, her mission to make roads safer, the decision to remove bike lanes in Toronto, and how cars, bikes, transit, and pedestrians can better share the road.

Edward Fishman joins Steve to discuss his book, Chokepoints: American Power in the Age of Economic Warfare, the emerging rules of this new era of economic war, whether globalization is dead, why the old era was abandoned, and the key chokepoints around the world, including China’s rare earth minerals, the U.S. dollar, and the Strait of Hormuz.
They also discuss weaponizing chokepoints, Trump’s tariffs, whether Canada holds any cards in its trade war with the U.S., how a middle power like Canada can survive in an era of economic war, whether we’ll all be worse off as more and more countries retreat inward, and whether this makes a major war more likely.

Normally on World on Edge, we look at other countries in the thick of significant upheaval. But today, we turn the camera lens on ourselves. Martha Hall Findlay joins Janice Stein to discuss Alberta’s referendum results, what they mean, what comes next, what Danielle Smith will do with the separatists in her party, the referendum’s nine other questions, and rising anti-immigration sentiment.
Then Janice and Steve discuss the protests and riots in France and across Europe, the grievances and economic pressures driving them, France’s long history of protest, the looting, and Trump’s claim that “the migrants have taken over France.”

Kennedy III joins Steve to discuss the upcoming midterm elections, the Republicans’ spending advantage, recent polls, the possibility of flipping Texas, the 51st-state talk, whether Trump’s treatment of Canada is an issue for voters, Trump’s personal enrichment and “grifting,” and the possibility of inappropriate or even illegal efforts to overturn the election results.
