    January 11, 2023 - Liberal Love for McKinsey

    Dog people get it: the bonds we forge with our furry family members are second to none. We open the show with some "real life" conversation just days after Supriya said goodbye to her beloved pup Cody. Turns out the Liberals loooooove McKinsey & Co. Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre says Canadians deserve to know details about the work the management consulting firm is doing for the government. How bad could the optics be for Justin Trudeau and his party, and why does this matter to the average Canadian? Alberta and Ottawa are back at it, this time over the phrase "just transition". Is this much ado about nothing? Aren't these two governments actually on the same page (for the most part)? And, my oh my, Minister Mikey. Premier Doug Ford's nephew steps into our spotlight this week with a memorable podium performance in India. Seriously is grateful for the support of our title sponsor We Know Training.

    January 4, 2023 - F the F Trudeau Flags

    You don't have to be a football fan to be paying close attention to the Damar Hamlin story. Ryan and Supriya open this week's show with the latest on this high-profile story. Former Conservative leader Erin O'Toole says he'd like to see fewer "F Trudeau" flags in 2023. Current CPC leader Pierre Poilievre says it's no secret why so many conservatives are so angry. Our hosts sink their teeth into a story "richer than maple syrup". How are you wrapping your mind around the Andrew Tate/Greta Thunberg dust-up, let alone the bigger picture around the "misogynist influencer"?

    What's your top news story of 2022? In our final episode of the year, Supriya and Ryan reveal their picks for the biggest newsmaker over the past 12 months. We also look into our crystal balls to predict the biggest news stories of 2023. What will Canadians be talking about the most into the new year? Plus, in a wildly-entertaining wrap, Supriya and Ryan run through @paulisci's Headline of the Year nominees and pick their favourites.

    December 14, 2022 - Pulling Out Early

    It worked: the Toronto Life hit piece on Edmonton has the whole country talking...including Supriya and Ryan. We open this week's episode with hard-hitting analysis from our hosts (born and raised in Montreal and Calgary). Jagmeet Singh says Justin Trudeau better start taking health care "seriously," or the NDP will pull their support of the minority Liberal government. What's the play, here? What's Singh's end game, and what should Trudeau do about it? "What should I say, Dave?" Wouldn't you expect the world's richest Twitter troll to do better? We can't ignore Elon Musk booed by 18,000 people at a recent Dave Chappelle show. Seriously is grateful for the support of our title sponsor We Know Training.

    December 7, 2022 - C-21: Gunning for Compromise

    Will Justin Trudeau's government have to walk back C-21 - its "gun control" bill - to get it passed? Will Pierre Poilievre have to choose between hunters and suburban soccer moms in plotting his opposition? What role will Jagmeet Singh's NDP play in this perennial hot button issue across the country? Supriya and Ryan analyze the politicking around Bill C-21, hockey star Carey Price's big blunder, and a particularly offensive "promo code" campaign from the Canadian Coalition for Firearm Rights just two weeks before the anniversary of the Montreal Massacre.

    November 30, 2022 - ’Berta!

    It's an Alberta Politics Super Episode on Seriously this week! Alberta Premier Danielle Smith introduces her long-promised Alberta Sovereignty Act, and it's immediately decried as "undemocratic," "overreach," and "lunacy". What are the stakes, implications, and likely future outcomes of the new premier's Bill One? Plus, former Premier (and longtime federal Minister) Jason Kenney resigns his seat in the Legislature, stealing some of Smith's headlines. What should we make of his outgoing statement re: polarization in politics? Can anybody take him seriously, considering his track record? We want to know what you think of what you're hearing on the show.

    November 16, 2022 - Trump’s Running; You’re On Your Own, Kiddos

    It's official: Donald Trump's not done with the Oval Office. What should we read into the circumstances around his Tuesday announcement, and the midterm election results before that? How might his return impact the GOP (and the rest of the world, for that matter)? Here in Canada, pediatric ERs and ICUs are sounding the alarm as respiratory illnesses spread in rapid fashion. Why are no Canadian premiers stepping up with mask mandates? How do politics factor into public health nearly three years into a pandemic? How much of an onus is on the general public to mask up without mandates in place? We want to know what you think!
