Today, Kenney has settled into life out of elected politics but still very much engaged in public debate over Alberta separatism, energy development and keeping the Conservative brand fresh and loud.

In this interview with Christy, Jason recaps a 30-plus-year career in the public eye and reveals some surprising details about his political journey and its high and low points, such as:

• He became politically active in his teens as a young Liberal
• His conservative awakening at a U.S. college
• BC Premier David Eby makes Justin Trudeau seem humble
• The economic dangers of even just flirting with separatism
• The radical right takeover of Alberta’s United Conservative Party
• Albertans need to take ‘yes’ for an answer
• Finding his family roots in Ireland after he was ousted as Premier
• Pierre Poilievre deserves another shot as CPC leader

Bolton served four U.S. presidents as a senior foreign policy official known for his hawkish stands. He was one of the architects of the Iraq War and the War on Terror, an ardent critic of the United Nations (even while he was the U.S. ambassador) and an advocate of forceful regime change for America’s foes.

He offers a blunt assessment of Donald Trump’s erratic trade and foreign policy, saying they are creating long-term negative consequences. He also makes the case for regime change in Iran. Through it all, Bolton continues to be an unapologetic proponent of the maximum use of American power and might to advance U.S. interests.

In this episode:

-Canada’s trade relationship with the United States is under real strain

-Why Trump’s tariffs may be doing lasting damage to both economies

-The risk of turning to China as an alternative partner

-Why “middle powers” may not be the solution Canada hopes for

-The case for regime change in Iran

-How conflict in the Middle East could reshape global energy and security

-Why American leadership still matters more than many think

-The future of conservatism after Trump

Susannah Peirce has an unrivalled record of success in shepherding big energy projects to success. The former president of Shell Canada and a driving force behind LNG Canada tells Christy Clark in this insightful conversation what it takes to get the job done.

Pierce reveals the importance of collaboration with Indigenous communities, how Canada can excel as an energy superpower without relying on U.S. trade, and how she successfully navigated the cringy sexism of the male-dominated energy industry.

She is now leading a collaborative effort to curb human sex and labour trafficking in Canada, which unfortunately affects Indigenous and resource communities.

Pierce’s smart and engaging observations on her life and career is a blast of fresh air and authenticity.

Ambassador Cohen brings rare insight to the biggest questions facing Canada right now: How should Canadians handle Trump's 51st state provocation? Why are U.S. businesses and states still deeply tied to Canada despite tariffs? And what's holding Canada back from its own economic potential?

Cohen travelled every corner of Canada during his tenure and knows both countries intimately. This is the conversation you need to hear to understand where Canada-U.S. relations are actually headed and what Canada should do about it.

Bonus: lots of Olympic hockey talk.
