PODCAST: CFRA's House Calls for Sun. December 14th, 2025

Last week, the Trump administration published a revised U.S. National Security Strategy, a gameplan that was quickly slammed by several critics. Andrew Pinsent digs deeper with Geoffrey Johnston, an International Affairs columnist with the Kingston Whig-Standard. Meantime, the Carney Liberals are introducing ‘consequential legislation’ in an effort to better protect children and victims of gender-based violence – one of the most significant Criminal Code updates in generations. Here to speak on that subject is Lara Karaian, an Associate Professor at Carleton University’s Institute of Criminology and Criminal Justice. And in the latest edition of This Week In History, Craig Baird of Canadian History EHX takes us back to the final days of 1910, as the Bellevue Mining Disaster unfolded.

Meantime, as MLB executives gathered for this year’s Winter Meetings in Orlando, the Toronto Blue Jays continued to bolster their pitching depth. But when it comes to the future of All-Star infielder Bo Bichette, and whether All-Star outfielder Kyle Tucker joins the party, Toronto’s fanbase is patiently waiting for a final decision. Technical producer Stephen Ellsworth delivers the latest developments.
