Naheed Nenshi Is Not Broken - VIDEO

In this episode, the hosts discuss Naheed Nenshi's candidacy for the NDP party leadership in Alberta. They explore Nenshi's fit with the political landscape in Alberta and the need for buoyancy in the NDP. The hosts also discuss the challenge of appealing to the public beyond superficialities and the importance of ideology and affinity for the NDP. They highlight the lack of distinction between parties and the need to balance rural and urban interests. The episode concludes with a discussion on maintaining a positive leadership race and the challenges faced by Gil McGowan's campaign due to COVID-19. The conversation explores the binary nature of politics and the need for people to pick a side. It also discusses the fatigue with divisive rhetoric and the potential for people to tire of it. The perception of Canada being broken is examined, along with the impact of the pandemic on people's perspectives. The concept of recency bias in voting is explored, as well as the tendency to blame the federal government. The erosion of social consideration and the fragility of life are also discussed as factors contributing to the perception of a broken world. The conversation explores the themes of appreciating what we took for granted, the absurdities of institutions, the erosion of empathy, the rise of individualism, the cynicism of politicians, and the challenges of polling and public opinion.

Plus: Politics & the Pen, stolen water glasses, and a very blush-worthy Sean Fraser story
