Today's Podcast:

Pierre Poilievre's "axe the (carbon) tax" national campaign continues and despite BC premier David Eby not joining the majority of Canada's premiers supporting either ending the carbon tax, or at least delaying the implementation of its April 1 scheduled increase and describing Poilievre's letter to the bc premier requesting his support for the "axe the tax" initiative as something from the Pierre Poilievre "baloney factory" the CPC leader, who national polling shows continues with his national campaign. We speak with Poilievre about carbon tax, national economy (bank economists expressing deep concern), crime and justice, immigration, Melanie Joly's photo with Mahmoud Abbas and more.
As well, on Monday a federal NDP motion in parliament will have MPs voting on the NDP's call for Canada's support for the establishment of a State of Palestine, as well as an end to arm shipments from Canada to Israel.
Guest: Pierre Poilievre. Leader: Conservative Party of Canada

For years it is said that in the aviation industry the cliche was "if it's not Boeing, I'm not going." Now it's rumoured the cliche has become "if it's Boeing, I'm not going." Boeing's terrible record of producing safe airliners over the last years again earlier this year, as well as last week was highlighted through mishaps involving 737 Max aircraft including the door plug blowing out of an Alaska Airlines 737 Max in January, a 787 Max Dreamliner which plunged without warning injuring up to 50 passengers last week, also last week a tire falling off a Boeing 757 seconds after takeoff from San Francisco airport and the nose wheel of another Boeing 757 airliner broke away while it was taxiing toward takeoff at Atlanta International Airport in January. Boeing is under FAA investigation.
Last Sunday I flew from Orlando to Toronto on a 737 Max 8 and it was an uneasy experience. What is going on with Boeing?
Guest: Captain Raymond Hall. Former head of the Air Canada Pilots Association and multi-decade Air Canada captain who flew Boeing airliners on major international routes. 

G&M headline: More economists are getting deeply worried about Canada's future - and investors are taking notice. Earlier this month Scotiabank's head of capital markets economics Derek Holt wrote "I'm deeply worried about public policy in my country." Over last weekend BMO chief economist Doug Porter and National Bank strategist Stefane Marion joined the grim chorus. And the OECD projects Canada's economic performance this decade and through to 2060 will be dead last among advanced nations. Meanwhile, we have what the world needs and is willing to purchase, namely natural resources such as oil and natural gas.
Guest: Professor Eric Kam. Macroeconomics, Toronto Metropolitan University. 

When it comes to ethics and ethical behaviour and the stunningly minor penalties for ethics violations for ignoring of ethics from the PM down to the occupants of the very back benches in parliament what is the story?  A former Liberal MP shares with us that not only was there (for her) the demand of unethical behaviour, but as well there were in 2007 significant penalties if that demand was not adhered to by the MP. - As well, our guest's husband was present when coaching on violating ethics took place. 
Guest: Michelle Simson, former Liberal MP
