In today’s breaking news update and Canadian politics PSA, Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre offered Canadians a spectacular display of exactly why he will never be elected Prime Minister of Canada during a recent CBC interview with Rosemary Barton. For the sake of exposing Conservative lies, myths and talking points designed to obfuscate the facts about Prime Minister Mark Carney’s leadership (and his near-Liberal majority after two MP defections from Poilievre’s own caucus), let’s fact-check in real time Pierre Poilievre’s claims in his CBC interview with Rosemary Barton, which aired last week.

Dans Meurtre au champagne , nous retrouvons le Colonel Race aux prises avec une histoire de cyanure... Cela fait un an que la magnifique Rosemary Barton, à qui tout semblait sourire, est morte d’un empoisonnement au cyanure. Cela s’est produit lors de sa fête d’anniversaire, dans un restaurant chic alors qu’elle était entourée de sa famille et de quelques amis proches. L’enquête avait conclu à un suicide, d’autant que la belle jeune femme souffrait semble-t-il d’un état dépressif suite à une grippe particulièrement violente. Iris, sa sœur et seule héritière, découvre dans le grenier de la maison un brouillon de lettre écrite par Rosemary peu avant son décès évoquant la rupture d’une liaison avec un mystérieux Léopard . De son côté, George, veuf de Rosemary, reçoit des lettres anonymes indiquant que cette dernière ne s’est pas suicidée mais qu’elle a été tuée. Commence alors la recherche par ces deux personnes des véritables raisons de la mort de cette sœur et épouse qui leur manque tant. C'est Debrophy qui nous a accompagné pour cet épisode.

We’ve waited a long time for this. On Sunday, Prime Minister Mark Carney is expected to ask the Governor General to dissolve Parliament and call a federal election — thrusting the parties into what is certain to be a dynamic, historic campaign. For starters, let’s get with you up to speed with a starter guide to campaign 2025, courtesy of CBC’s chief political correspondent Rosemary Barton. Then, Conservative House leader Andrew Scheer joins the show to discuss his party’s response to U.S. President Donald Trump’s threats and his party’s promise to cut the industrial carbon tax. Next, host Catherine Cullen stops by the NDP campaign headquarters in Ottawa to check in with Anne McGrath — senior adviser to leader Jagmeet Singh — about the party’s outlook heading into the campaign. Plus, the director of the Media Ecosystem Observatory explains what worries him about the information voters are getting online this election — and how you can make sure you don’t get duped. Finally, as political polls go into overdrive, two analysts dissect how seat projections and party popularity numbers actually work. This episode features the voices of: Rosemary Barton, CBC’s chief political correspondent Andrew Scheer, Conservative House leader Anne McGrath, senior advisor to NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh Aengus Bridgman, director of the Media Ecosystem Observatory Philippe Fournier, editor-in-chief of 338Canada Éric Grenier, author and publisher of thewrit.ca

In this compelling episode, Elizabeth May, Co-Leader of the Green Party of Canada, lays bare her unfiltered views on critical issues affecting our country today. From her sharp criticisms of Trump and his support of Poilievre to the impact of being blackballed by Rosemary Barton on CBC's Power and Politics, May does not shy away from the tough conversations we must have. She tackles the climate emergency, the Alberta separatist movement, the trucker convoy, and the alarming influence of foreign media ownership over our narratives. May suggests Prime Minister Mark Carney to assemble a US-Canada relations trade war cabinet with leaders from all major political parties. This is a crucial moment in our history, and May’s insights are indispensable as we navigate these challenges. In a time when disinformation is rampant on social media, May emphasizes the urgent need to use critical thinking. She advocates for establishing a Civil Defense strategy. Furthermore, host Laura Babcock calls on CBC to be transparent about guest selection protocols. In the most impactful federal election of our lifetime, trust in our public broadcaster has never been more vital. We need clarity on decisions about who gets to engage in these critical discussions. Join us in pushing for transparency and accountability. Let’s strengthen our democratic processes and pave the way for a more informed electorate.

On paper, the Liberals’ deal for the NDP’s support is supposed to prop up their minority government until next summer. But in exchange, the Liberals agreed to a bill on pharmacare, and NDP leader Jagmeet Singh is threatening that the deal could be done if they miss an approaching March 1st deadline. So could the coming weeks see the end of the deal? Would the Liberals really risk an election right now? And did the deal deliver wins for the NDP that voters will remember? CBC’s chief political correspondent Rosemary Barton returns to unpack it all.

Toronto-area MP Han Dong is denying allegations that he worked against the release of ‘the two Michaels’ in 2021. His denial comes in the wake of a story from Global News that alleges Dong advised a senior Chinese diplomat in Toronto to delay the release of Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor, two Canadians being held in Chinese detention. Meanwhile, calls for a public inquiry into foreign election interference grow louder. Today, CBC’s chief political correspondent Rosemary Barton brings us up to speed on the latest escalation in allegations of Chinese government interference in Canadian affairs.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau met with all 13 of Canada's premiers on Tuesday to pitch his plan for increased health-care funding to provinces and territories. The measures would amount to over $46 billion in new funding and – combined with what Ottawa was already planning to pitch in – totals almost 200 billion in total federal health-care spending over the next decade. Today, CBC chief political correspondent Rosemary Barton breaks down the details of the proposal, discusses why many provinces and territories say it isn't enough, and recaps the latest from Ottawa.
