Is Canada Having an "Anti-American Hissy Fit"?
Category: News & Politics
Duration: 01:35:17
Publish Date: 2026-02-17 17:42:36
Description:

Jamil Jivani says Canada's shooting itself in the foot with an "anti-American hissy fit." The Conservative MP made the comments to right wing outlet Breitbart after meeting with his college pal (and current US vice-president) JD Vance and President Donald Trump during a solo mission to D.C. earlier this month. Supriya Dwivedi tells us how she thinks Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre should respond to the Jivani situation (26:20) in our feature interview presented by Mercedes-Benz Edmonton West.

3:00 | We lead with Tumbler Ridge, BC, where Prime Minister Mark Carney and Opposition Leader Pierre Poilievre joined hundreds of mourners in person (and millions more across the country), offering a commitment to support town residents over the long term. We tackle new developments in the Canada-India saga (43:00), including what Supriya says is a disastrous photo opp involving Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand. Are you as nervous as Ryan is about Meta's new facial recognition glasses (51:15)? We get into it with Supriya first, then Real Talkers have their say (1:02:00) in our Live Chat powered by Park Power.
