'''''The Current''''' is a [[current affairs (news format)|current affairs]] [[radio]] show hosted by investigative [[reporter]] [[Anna Maria Tremonti]] on the [[Canadian Broadcasting Corporation|CBC]]. It airs weekdays starting at 8:37 a.m. local time on [[CBC Radio One]].
 
Although primarily a serious news program, ''The Current'' has traditionally begun each show with a brief [[satire|satirical]] comment by a CBC producer credited only as The Voice.
The program has aired fictional advertsiements for the "Ambiguous Party", a fictional political party created by a producer at CBC Radio (The Voice). A few campaign ads were created and aired for morning show listeners' amusement in which The Voice tries to pursuade listeners to vote for the Ambiguous Party. Comparisons are made between the Ambiguous Party (complete and utter fence-sitters on all issues) and the current parties of the day.
