It’s Monday on The Really Big Show and we’re starting the week with a full slate of stories. The Parliamentary Budget Office throws fresh shade on Liberal economic claims, and the big question hangs over Ottawa: are we heading into an election or are the Liberals hoping to scrape by on absentee votes? Meanwhile, the Prime Minister gets booed again — and not in subtle ways.
Carbon capture suddenly becomes the political obsession of the week, major projects crawl forward at a glacial pace, and we ask how many “energy hostages” the government will release before anything actually gets built. Inflation cools thanks to energy prices, but that doesn’t mean life is getting cheaper.
Plus: a top scientist says aliens might already be here, another government bureaucrat is caught burning through public money, and we break down the PM’s latest string of “ummm… ummm…” moments — and what that tells us. Canada hints at joining the space race, BC’s political leaders head down very different paths, and we have to ask: is Al Gore losing the plot?
Big topics, blunt talk, no easing into the week.
Catch The Really Big Show every weekday at 9am.
