One of the biggest problems plaguing our society is that we don’t actually debate much anymore. This podcast is set to remedy that. Your host, Garnett Genuis, is the Member of Parliament for Sherwood Park–Fort Saskatchewan in Alberta, Canada, serving as the Shadow Minister for International Development & Human Rights. Since being elected in 2015, he has gained a reputation for being among the most outspoken parliamentarians. Every episode will feature an interview with a guest, and then conclude with a debate involving Parliamentarians from different parties. Thank you for listening.
EP91. Unemployment Crisis: Bridging the Gap Between Employers and Job-Seeking Youth
Canada’s latest job numbers show labour force participation hitting a 29-year low. Meanwhile, youth unemployment jumped to 13%.
In this week’s podcast, I sit down with Bérengère Fouqueray and Corinne Pohlmann from the Canadian Federation of Independent Businesses (CFIB) to discuss one of their recent reports, “Work in Progress: Bridging the gap between small businesses and Canada’s youth”. We discuss the disconnect between young job seekers and employers, and how they can more effectively find each other.

EP89. One-on-One with Conservative Shadow Minister Shuv Majumdar on Canada-US Relations
Tensions between Canada and the US are the highest they have been in a very long time. Why is this happening, what should Canada be doing in response, and what is the role of the Loyal Opposition during these challenging times?
Joining me to discuss these questions and more is Member of Parliament Shuv Majumdar, Conservative Shadow Minister for Canada-US Relations. Shuv has worked extensively on foreign affairs, including advising Prime Minister Stephen Harper on foreign policy. Before getting elected Shuv also led the Foreign Policy and National Security program at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute.
