    Episode 1296: April Fool's Gold

    Corey Hogan and Stephen Carter discuss Liberal housing and school nutrition announcements, blockades on the Trans-Canada Highway and an Alberta NDP leadership race that is definitely over despite what Zain says. Are pre-budget announcements a good communications strategy? Do a new round of protests present Poilievre with risk - or opportunity? And is there a file on Doug in Finance now? Zain Velji, as always, picks the questions and keeps everybody in line.

    Episode 1295: Elevator to hell

    Corey Hogan and Stephen Carter discuss Liberal attacks on Pierre Poilievre's conservatives, Calgary Mayor Jyoti Gondek meeting with her petition antagonist and much more. Are attacks positioning Poilievre as an uncaring insider good strategy? Was Gondek going for a "West Wing" moment? And is it possible the gang actually already owns Strategists.ca? Zain Velji, as always, picks the questions and keeps everybody in line.

    Episode 1293: Julienne fries

    Corey Hogan and Stephen Carter discuss the growing opposition to the carbon tax among progressive politicians, a motion on Palestine and a months-late rebuttal to Poilievre's housing video.

And just how do you define a region anyhow? Zain Velji, as always, picks the questions and keeps everybody in line.

    Episode 1291: The Royal We

    Episode 1289: Sell me this budget

    Episode 1289: Sell me this budget

    Corey Hogan and Stephen Carter talk about candidates bragging about almost joining other parties before discussing Alberta's Budget - the sneaky austerity, how it's framed and the downstream consequences. Are there any good reasons for candidates to talk publicly about almost joining other parties? Did Danielle Smith get away with framing austerity as investment? Or is this budget all about "two unrelated facts"? Zain Velji, as always, picks the questions and keeps everybody in line.
