  • Carney's Minority Challenge and Chow's Congestion Gamble

    Carney's Minority Challenge and Chow's Congestion Gamble
    2025/05/02
    Now & Next (May 1, 2025)
    Host: Dave Trafford
    Guests: Lindsay Broadhead, Anne-Marie Aikins, Bob Reid

    As the federal election dust settles, Dave Trafford is joined by the NOW and NEXT C.A.S.T (Comms And Strategy Team) to dissect the results, implications, and missed opportunities across Canada’s political landscape.

    The panel delves into voter behavior shifts, the polarization amplified by social media, and the changing allegiances of younger voters.

    They also explore leadership dynamics, party branding woes, and what Prime Minister Mark Carney must prioritize as he takes the reins—from unifying a fractured nation to navigating a looming Trump encounter.

    The episode rounds out with sharp commentary on Toronto's congestion crisis and the mayor’s controversial decision to delegate traffic solutions to a new "czar." Key Takeaways:
    • The 2025 federal election was unexpectedly close, revealing deep demographic and regional divides, particularly in Ontario.
    • Conservative success among younger voters was linked to economic disenfranchisement, misinformation, and online echo chambers.
    • The NDP's identity crisis and leadership challenges have sparked questions about the party's future viability.
    • Personality and trust—not policy—dominated this election cycle, with voters focused on perceived leadership strength.
    • Mark Carney faces high expectations: unifying the country, managing Canada–U.S. relations, and addressing interprovincial trade barriers.
    • Toronto's traffic woes prompted the appointment of a “traffic czar”—a move criticized as an abdication of mayoral accountability.
    • Public frustration with political inaction and lack of transparency continues to grow at all levels of government.

  • Do Election Debates Move the Needle?

    Do Election Debates Move the Needle?
    2025/04/18
    Now & Next – April 16, 2025

    Host: Dave Trafford
    Guests:
    • Anne-Marie Aikins (AMA Communications)
    • Bob Reid (Broadview Strategy)
    • Lindsay Broadhead (Broadhead Communications)
    Episode Summary In this episode of Now and Next, Dave Trafford is joined by communications and strategy veterans Anne-Marie Aikins, Bob Reid, and Lindsay Broadhead to assess the rapidly shifting terrain of the federal election campaign in Ontario and beyond.

    With the Liberals gaining ground and Mark Carney emerging as a surprisingly strong contender, the group explores the evolving dynamics, including Pierre Poilievre’s media strategy, the role of televised debates, and how both leaders are positioning themselves ahead of key showdowns.

    They debate the effectiveness of the leaders' communications tactics and scrutinize the role of media and debate formats in shaping public perception. Key Takeaways
    • Liberal Surge in Ontario: Polls suggest a double-digit lead for the Liberals in Ontario, marking a sharp reversal from earlier expectations of a Conservative stronghold.
    • Carney’s Popularity: Mark Carney is gaining traction with voters, not just as an anti-Poilievre candidate but as a leader people are actively supporting.
    • Debate Format Flaws: The panel critiques the debate commission’s decision to schedule debates around NHL games, highlighting the need for more rigorous and accessible formats.
    • Media Access Matters: Poilievre’s strategy of avoiding media access may be backfiring, limiting his ability to shape his narrative while journalists like Katie Simpson shape it for him.
    • Gender Gap: Poilievre’s support remains low among women, driven by personality and perceived lack of trustworthiness rather than policy alone.
    • Strategic Silence or Stagnation?: While Carney is running a front-runner campaign, his lack of major announcements is raising questions about momentum.
    • Calls for Debate Reform: There’s strong consensus that Canadian debates need to move away from performative brawls and toward meaningful, fact-checked discourse.
