    Thomas Lukaszuk: Former Deputy Premier of Alberta

    In this episode, host Dean and former Deputy Premier of Alberta, Thomas Lukaszuk, dive into Alberta's tumultuous political landscape. Dean critiques the United Conservative Party (UCP) and its leader, Danielle Smith s. Thomas offers insights into the province's shift towards populist politics and the challenges it brings.  Like knowing your premier is a conspiracy theorist who is slowly embracing pseudo science and b******t conspiracy theories. Thomas and did list a few and holy shit, it crazy when you list them all. Thomas is an immigrant from Florida and he’s starting to ring the bell about Danielle Smith’s authoritarian tendencies and how they are starting to scare a lot of people in the beautiful Province of Alberta.  Thomas talks about Pierre Poilievre and gives a pretty damning explanation of the Top Secret clearance background check Pierre is trying desperately to avoid. Thomas says Pierre doesn’t pass the daughter test and talked about Pierre being ne of the reasons why he won’t be voting for Pierre even as a (former) conservative Deputy Premier. Dean and Thomas dug into foreign interference including the India BS.  It’s kind of a shocking show to be honest. There were some bombs in that Podcast and Thomas has some spine. That’s his former party and he swings in the same circles as a lot of these guys and calls he basically called pathological and how he wouldn’t trust either Smith or Poilievre isn’t compromised. Pierre Especially.  I’m sure this will piss some people off. Enjoy.   Hosted on Acast.
