Description

The MBP Intelligence Briefing gets past the headlines into the policy shaping Canada: the legislation, the budgets, the regulatory decisions, and the politics driving them. Completely free and completely ad-free.


Hosted by Shannon Phillips, the show features weekly conversations with Ken Boessenkool, Tyler Meredith, and Ben Woodfinden, along with monthly guests bringing a fresh perspective from business, media, or public policy. The panel comes at this from across the political spectrum: Liberal, Conservative, and NDP, because politics is partisan, and policy doesn't get made in a vacuum. No punditry. Just the read from people who've written policy, not just commented on it, from cabinet tables, platform rooms, and comms shops.


Expect roundtable discussions that break down what a policy actually does, not just what it's called, and in-depth interviews on the fiscal, trade, and regulatory decisions shaping business and government.


Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
