Why Canada Post Is Losing Trust — And What It Could Learn From Santa
Charities don’t even trust the mail anymore — and that’s a big red flag. In this spirited Friday Roundup, Shane Hewitt is joined by Andrew Caddell (kilt and all) and Jimmy Zoubris to unpack the deeper warning signs behind Canada Post’s decline.
From missed revenue to eroding public confidence, this episode questions whether one of Canada’s most essential institutions can still serve the needs of businesses and communities. The group also reminisces on the magic of Canada Post’s Santa letter program — and why losing services like that could cost more than dollars. Plus: a sharp take on Giving Tuesday, merchant fees, and Stephen Guilbeault’s resignation from cabinet.
Pipelines, Power, and Political Pivoting: What’s Really Behind the New Alberta Deal?
A pipeline to the West Coast, carbon capture incentives, and nuclear power in Alberta — this episode unpacks the strategic shift happening in Canadian energy politics. Shane Hewitt is joined by Andrew Caddell and Jimmy Zoubris to dissect the surprising backroom alignment between Mark Carney and Danielle Smith, and what it signals for the future of oil, renewables, and Indigenous relations.
Jimmy holds firm on his opposition to pipelines, citing ecological risk and short-term thinking. Andrew lays out the broader economic and geopolitical implications — including Indigenous investment and West Coast export strategy. With tanker traffic, nuclear lobbying, and party identity at stake, this panel gets to the heart of Canada’s most contentious energy conversation.
