Recorded on Tuesday, October 28, 2025, this episode of Maple Minds dives into the week’s biggest stories in Canadian and international politics. Christi, Rob, and Poli start in Alberta with former Deputy Premier Thomas Lukaszuk’s petition that crushed the separatist movement’s goal — gathering over 456,000 signatures to keep Alberta in Canada.
From there, the team explores deeper currents: the MAGA influence on Canadian separatism, Steve Bannon’s global agenda, Trump’s economic manipulation through tariffs, and Danielle Smith’s use of the notwithstanding clause to end Alberta’s teacher strike.
The hosts also discuss Pierre Poilievre’s careful dance around the federal budget, the NDP’s leadership questions, and America’s troubling moves in the Caribbean. 👉 This is Tuesday’s episode released Friday so you’re always caught up — even when the headlines move fast.
