Welcome to my Canadian election review podcast. As of the time of this episode Canada is just a couple weeks away and the Rational View is here to provide you with a rundown on the major parties. In Canada we have two major parties, the Liberals and the Conservatives who are the only parties who have ever won elections, plus a third party, the New Democrats (NDP) who usually manage to capture a smattering of seats. The last two terms were won by the Liberals under Justin Trudeau. The most recent term has been a minority government propped up by the NDP for concessions to social programs.
The Conservatives are like Canada’s Republicans: Pro Oligarch and Pro Oil. The Liberals are like Canada’s Democrats: Pro Corporatocracy (Status Quo) and Pro Environment. The NDP are Pro Worker and Pro Environment.
Trudeau, who’s popularity has been low after 10 years in government, has recently stepped down to be replaced by Mark Carney, former governor of the bank of Canada and the Bank of England. Carney has re-invigorated Liberal polling numbers, and is currently leading Pierre Pollievre’s Conservatives at 43% vs 39%. This was a major surprise to Conservatives who were a shoe-in until Carney announced his candidacy and flipped the script on them.
All three major parties have been putting out ads. The Conservative ads have been trying to smear the new Liberal leader, Mark Carney, as a rich outsider who is going to bring in a carbon tax. There have been AI-generated fake pictures on social media showing Carney with Epstein and Maxwell. The Liberal ads have been comparing the Conservative Leader to Donald Trump due to sharing similar rhetoric on making Canada great again. I’m going to go through what the candidates have said about actual policies in case you are interested in that. It’s time for a Rational View.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
