Bob Lenarduzzi grew up in an Italian family in East Vancouver and became one of Canada’s first soccer legends in the 1970s and 80s as a member of the OG NASL Vancouver Whitecaps and the national men’s team that played in the 1986 World Cup.

His career took him to England as a teenager, but he returned to Vancouver to become the face of soccer in a soccer-mad town.

In this interview with Christy, Lenarduzzi offers a ton of great stories over five decades in the game about the characters who shaped Canadian soccer history:

1. Getting tough growing up in East Vancouver
2. Going to play football in England at 14
3. Meeting his wife … and intimidating father-in-law
4. With the NASL Vancouver Whitecaps
5. Winning N. American Player of the Year
6. Whitecaps win the Soccer Bowl but…
7. ….NASL is on the decline
8. MLS Whitecaps return…with fighting teammates
9. Canadian soccer talent exploding
10. Superstar Alphonso Davies emerges on Whitecaps
11. Giving back to community with mini-pitches
12. Losing MLS Whitecaps … again

Jason Kenney has been a political animal since he was a teenager growing up in Saskatchewan. He was first elected to the House of Commons while still in his 20s, and over the next 18 years rose to become a trusted cabinet minister under Prime Minister Stephen Harper. He returned to Alberta to unify a splintered conservative movement under one banner and become Premier in 2019, only to be dramatically deposed from within in a right-wing revolt over his handling of the pandemic.

Today, Kenney has settled into life out of elected politics but still very much engaged in public debate over Alberta separatism, energy development and keeping the Conservative brand fresh and loud.

In this interview with Christy, Jason recaps a 30-plus-year career in the public eye and reveals some surprising details about his political journey and its high and low points, such as:

• He became politically active in his teens as a young Liberal
• His conservative awakening at a U.S. college
• BC Premier David Eby makes Justin Trudeau seem humble
• The economic dangers of even just flirting with separatism
• The radical right takeover of Alberta’s United Conservative Party
• Albertans need to take ‘yes’ for an answer
• Finding his family roots in Ireland after he was ousted as Premier
• Pierre Poilievre deserves another shot as CPC leader

John Bolton joins Christy Clark for a candid conversation on global instability, Canada-U.S. relations, regime change in Iran and how to navigate a world where power is shifting so rapidly.

Bolton served four U.S. presidents as a senior foreign policy official known for his hawkish stands. He was one of the architects of the Iraq War and the War on Terror, an ardent critic of the United Nations (even while he was the U.S. ambassador) and an advocate of forceful regime change for America’s foes.

He offers a blunt assessment of Donald Trump’s erratic trade and foreign policy, saying they are creating long-term negative consequences. He also makes the case for regime change in Iran. Through it all, Bolton continues to be an unapologetic proponent of the maximum use of American power and might to advance U.S. interests.

In this episode:

-Canada’s trade relationship with the United States is under real strain

-Why Trump’s tariffs may be doing lasting damage to both economies

-The risk of turning to China as an alternative partner

-Why “middle powers” may not be the solution Canada hopes for

-The case for regime change in Iran

-How conflict in the Middle East could reshape global energy and security

-Why American leadership still matters more than many think

-The future of conservatism after Trump

Susannah Pierce: Developing Canada’s resources, Indigenous partnerships, and being a woman boss in a male-dominated business

Susannah Peirce has an unrivalled record of success in shepherding big energy projects to success. The former president of Shell Canada and a driving force behind LNG Canada tells Christy Clark in this insightful conversation what it takes to get the job done.

Pierce reveals the importance of collaboration with Indigenous communities, how Canada can excel as an energy superpower without relying on U.S. trade, and how she successfully navigated the cringy sexism of the male-dominated energy industry.

She is now leading a collaborative effort to curb human sex and labour trafficking in Canada, which unfortunately affects Indigenous and resource communities.

Pierce’s smart and engaging observations on her life and career is a blast of fresh air and authenticity.

One of America's savviest political veterans — and Joe Biden's ambassador to Canada — sits down with Christy Clark for a candid conversation on how our relationship is evolving..

Ambassador Cohen brings rare insight to the biggest questions facing Canada right now: How should Canadians handle Trump's 51st state provocation? Why are U.S. businesses and states still deeply tied to Canada despite tariffs? And what's holding Canada back from its own economic potential?

Cohen travelled every corner of Canada during his tenure and knows both countries intimately. This is the conversation you need to hear to understand where Canada-U.S. relations are actually headed and what Canada should do about it.

Bonus: lots of Olympic hockey talk.

The Christy Clark Show launches with Peter Mansbridge, former Chief Correspondent of CBC News and one of Canada’s most trusted voices in journalism.

In this in-depth conversation, Christy and Peter explore the state of journalism in Canada, the growing challenge of media trust, and how the news industry is adapting in a time of political and cultural change.

Mansbridge reflects on his early career, his historic coverage of the September 11 attacks, and the responsibility of journalists in moments that shape national identity.

They also examine difficult questions facing Canadian media today:

Are certain viewpoints being excluded from mainstream journalism?

How does media literacy impact democracy?

And how should Canadians understand the legacy of colonialism and its impact on Indigenous communities?

This episode is a thoughtful look at journalism, politics, and the evolving relationship between media and the public in Canada.
