Jesse Brown, editor and publisher of Canadaland, discusses his six-part investigative podcast series, "What Is Happening Here," on antisemitism in Canada. He examines the surge in antisemitism since October 7th, from prevented mass murder plots to the systematic exclusion of Jews from Canadian institutions. He explores how anti-Zionist movements have mainstreamed hateful rhetoric, why progressive activists often dismiss Jewish concerns, and how media have failed to adequately cover this crisis.

Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer discuss a new Citrini Research report about how AI could trigger an unprecedented economic recession within the next two years. They argue that rapid AI adoption—particularly tools enabling non-technical users to replicate expert work—threatens knowledge workers who have sustained the modern economy, and that, unlike previous technological disruptions, this transition may happen at a faster rate. They explore how this disruption challenges existing policy frameworks and requires urgent political attention before widespread labour market dislocation occurs.

Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer discuss the U.S. Supreme Court's landmark 6-3 decision striking down President Trump's emergency tariffs. They examine how this ruling undermines Trump's trade agenda and creates uncertainty for U.S. businesses and fiscal policy. They also examine how the court's ruling impacts Canada and whether this would further inflame Trump's foreign policy agenda.

In the second half, they discuss the explosive growth of government employment in Canada and the stagnation of entrepreneurship. They argue that this trend makes Canada vulnerable, especially when economic resilience is most needed against U.S. economic pressure.

Dennis Molinaro, former national security analyst and author of Under Assault: Interference and Espionage in China's Secret War on Canada, discusses our country's new strategic partnership with the Middle Kingdom. He argues the Carney government has failed to define its promised "guardrails", roll out a foreign agents registry, or impose any real consequences for years of Chinese foreign interference. He adds that Canada can maintain trade relations while protecting national interests, but warns that Canada's current approach shows that the Chinese can take advantage of Canada with no consequences.
