It’s Halloween, but the real scares are coming from Ottawa. 🎃
Jim & Iain dive into a spooky lineup where Carney gets a whole lot of nothing while Canada’s economy starts looking downright frightening.
Carney keeps signing guestbooks while Trump signs deals; India hits us with new tariffs; young Canadians are speaking up; and no amount of fancy budget magic seems to make Ottawa’s plan any less terrifying.
Plus — what’s actually happening with Canada’s military, the growing case for oil, and why the world is moving on from climate-religion politics even as Canada tries to resurrect it. Are we really leading in AI… or just dressing up like we are?
Smart insight, sharp commentary, and a Halloween-sized dose of reality — only on The Really Big Show.
Jim and Iain break down the US Senate vote to end Canadian tariffs as Ford asks Carney to join him under the bus, discuss how budgets are being sold through special-interest groups and Carney kicking the tires on diesel subs, question why Liberals continue pushing a climate agenda while even the “grand master” says the emergency is over, examine growing pressure on EV mandates, Canada’s grim outlook and struggling media, react to Eby saying “bring it on,” and look abroad to China and what’s happening in the UK.
Jim and Iain are back on The Really Big Show, breaking down another whirlwind day in Canadian politics and global headlines.
With the loonie looking weak and Canada struggling to stay competitive, many worry the economic pain could get worse. Questions remain about whether a major deal was ever on the table, while Brookfield lands a huge U.S. agreement that raises eyebrows at home.
Mark Carney faces an ethics probe, the Liberals still won’t commit to oil, and crime continues to rise across the country — all as Trump makes fresh trade moves in Japan.
Smart takes, sharp commentary, and a dose of humor — only on The Really Big Show.
Carney throws Ford under the bus while positioning himself as a future prime minister, telling provinces to “sit down” as political tensions rise. Eby joins Ford in policies linked to job losses, the U.S. administration blames Trudeau-era Liberals, and food bank usage in Canada hits record highs. Meanwhile, the federal government faces new accusations of waste, BC Conservatives lead in the polls but turn on Rustad, BC unions reach a settlement, and Melei scores a big win — all on The Really Big Show.
In this episode of The Really Big Show, Jim Csek and Iain Burns tackle a packed lineup of national headlines and political chaos from coast to coast.
They break down Donald Trump’s decision to kill trade talks with Canada — and how Carney, Ford, and Poilievre are responding. From Carney’s latest Jays “bet” and false claims, to what some are calling The Great Canadian Auto Wreck, the hosts dig into the economic and political fallout that’s rattling the country.
Plus, they weigh in on Sean Fraser’s new bill that critics say doesn’t go far enough, the latest cabinet controversies, Alberta’s new Bill 1 announcement, and a major lawsuit from BC First Nations against Ottawa over LNG.
And if that’s not enough, the show also covers growing concerns over trucking safety, mass resignations in BC’s health-care system, and the ongoing mess in BC politics.
Smart takes, sharp commentary, and a dose of humor — it’s all here on The Really Big Show.
Watch this episode of The Really Big Show as hosts Jim Csek and Ian Burns tackle a packed lineup — from Mark Carney seeking budget support and more auto sector job losses, to new political tensions as Poilievre faces fresh attacks. They also cover Canada’s latest crime bill, the government’s stance on China as a “strategic partner,” the BC Conservatives calling for Rustad’s resignation, and the CBC CEO’s bold claim that the network isn’t biased.
Today on The Really Big Show, Jim Csek and Iain Burns break down Carney’s ticking clock, his upcoming meeting with Trump, the media’s spin, Kenney’s shot at the CBC, and why even Eby admits he was wrong as Canada faces bleak numbers and growing frustration.
Today on ‘The Really Big Show’ - Carney to meet with Trump, Jason Kenney takes aim at the “mud hutters,” Christy Clark calls Eby “full of it,” Canada faces an economic winter, property rights are declared essential for certainty, the BC Ferries scandal deepens, questions rise over whether we can build anything here, Trudeau is attacked by his former MPs, and Trump warns of “hell on Earth.”
Today on The Really Big Show - BC Premier David Eby fires a strong shot across the bow at Alberta’s Danielle Smith, who in turn questions Canada’s direction. The Bloc digs in with a hard “no way,” while Carney stirs the pot by calling for a meeting with the NDP—and then quietly drops another banker into a government agency. Meanwhile, Liberal policies are colliding at every friction point, and across the pond, Elon Musk finds himself branded an “idiot” by a UK MP.
It's time for another dose of news, analysis and commentary with NowMedia video host Jim Csek and guest host Iain Burns.
