PODCAST: CFRA's House Calls for Sun. April 12th, 2026

In the days leading up to Easter Weekend, Ukraine offered a ceasefire agreement to Russia, with the latter launching waves of drone and missile attacks in response. Meantime, America's President launched an Easter Morning verbal attack against the people of Iran, illustrating that the old rules no longer apply in the whacky world of 2026. Geoffrey Johnston is an International Affairs columnist with the Kingston Whig-Standard. He joins Andrew Pinsent on CFRA Weekends.

CFRA Weekends - Trump and Putin 'terrorizing' the innocent, Johnston writes

Prime Minister Carney is defending his government’s high-speed rail project, which aims to develop a more efficient commuter connection between Toronto and Quebec City. Construction of the first phase, linking Montreal and Ottawa, is set to kick off in either 2029 or 2030. The full project is estimated to cost between $60 billion and $90 billion, creating over 50,000 jobs in the process and contributing $35 billion to the Canadian economy. But as we’ve seen, there's been plenty of opposition to this project in Eastern Ontario – from residents and farmers to local politicians. Andrew Pinsent chats with Katie Koopman, the Co-Committee Lead of Save South Frontenac, on CFRA Weekends.
