The Goose: Recent Episodes
Jamie Hay
As a millennial in 2019, it's easy to believe everything you hear about politics. On The Goose, we're breaking down Canadian political news for the younger generation. It's lit fam.
Jamie puts his expert investigative journalist skills to the test and breaks down the results of a positive, happy, fun for all fall election that the whole family enjoyed.
Musings by Jamie on the upcoming federal election. Such topics including... How is Justin Trudeau's hair this election cycle? How many white people has Andrew Scheer taken photographs with? And the question everyone wants to know, who has been tweeting dumb stuff?
The Toronto Raptors have done the unbelievable and won the NBA championship. My childhood favourite team pulled it off. This is not a sports podcast but this one had to happen. Canadian History. It's relevant. IT IS. Part two with the boys coming soon.
The theme of today's show is election interference, as this fall's federal election creeps up (but glorious summer is upon us now).
Is abortion really an issue in Canada?
Why do politicians keep tweeting dumb stuff?
And oh yeah btw the Raptors made the NBA finals are you serious? Yes I'm serious, I cried when it happened and I'm still crying and I have to talk about it.
This episode, the people of Ontario show Doug Ford how super stoked they are that their province is "Open for Business", America's Ass makes another dumb tweet and a story about how the NBA's Enes Kanter got banned from his home country and why there might be more to the story than what's on the surface.
Jamie discusses the scandals surrounding the Prime Minister and his opposition leader, talks about some highlights from the new Ontario budget and roasts some politicians that tweet dumb stuff
Doug Ford is letting us get drunk in the morning, and in public... the conservative party keeps telling fibs about the carbon tax, and a neat-o scientific discovery. Also some sports talk going into this glorious weekend of sports.
The federal carbon tax just dropped in Ontario, Trudeau risks his feminist image and a new segment: Dumb tweets from politicians!
How are the Liberals making it easier to buy houses for young people? Why does Doug Ford hate puppies? What does "no collusion" mean??? And an update on the famous coin flip march madness bracket!
There's a conspiracy going on with a beloved canadian coffee and doughnut chain, the opposition loudly objects to Justin Trudeau trying to put his SNC-Lavalin scandal to bed, and you'll learn the best way to pick your NCAA March Madness bracket.
On this week's show Jamie breaks down the Doug Ford OPP story, gives an update on the SNC-Lavalin mess that Justin Trudeau is still in, and talks about some international stories involving the world's nuclear superpowers.
He is also unsure whether or not to talk about himself in the third person in these descriptions. We're still working out the wrinkles.
Justin Trudeau has nice af hair, but he's currently screwing himself over in dealing with the biggest scandal, or at least the most public, in his time so far as the Prime Minister.
I talk about why China suddenly hates Canada right now, the Donald's newest plan to get his border wall built, and I try to cover a little bit about what is going on in Venezuela.
As this show gets off the ground, what you'll hear every week is current news about politicians, their parties, and important news focused on Canada, but from around the world too. Today however, I'll be talking about the two North American leaders and some of the notable things they've done in their time in power. More locally, I talk about Ontario's new premier and some of the headlines he's made.
I plan on doing more profile episodes on figures from around the world, as well as different specialty shows with guests. More to come on all that.
I'm Jamie Hay and in this unofficial first episode of The Goose, I'll tell you why I'm doing the show and what you're going to hear.
