The Strategists Stephen Carter, Corey Hogan, Zain Velji

Corey Hogan and Stephen Carter discuss the results of the Toronto-St.Paul's byelection. How big of a deal is this? Is there a path forward for Justin Trudeau?

Zain Velji, as always, picks the questions and keeps everybody in line.

Corey Hogan and Stephen Carter discuss the Alberta NDP leadership results, lopsided leadership races and what the still-being-counted results in Toronto-St. Paul's mean for Justin Trudeau and Pierre Poilievre. When a result looks like it's going to skew heavily to one candidate, why do other candidates run? Do the Liberals win the expectations game if they squeak out a victory? And at Zain's Strategists Accountability Session, will we get to discuss the many ways he is like the Florida Panthers organization? Zain Velji, as always, gets distracted by songs about himself.

Corey Hogan and Stephen Carter discuss a column where outgoing Alberta NDP leader Rachel Notley appears to attack incoming-with-83%-of-the-vote Alberta NDP leader Naheed Nenshi - before turning to the looming Toronto-St. Paul's byelection. How should Nenshi engage (or not) with Rachel Notley and Jagmeet Singh at Notley's farewell dinner? Is Toronto-St. Paul's a referendum on Justin Trudeau's leadership? And will GOCalgary.ca change Calgary politics forever? Zain Velji, as always, gets distracted by songs about himself.

Corey Hogan and Stephen Carter discuss Nenshi's inevitable victory and the complications a Lethbridge-West by-election present him before turning to Calgary's water main burst and crisis communications. Does Naheed Nenshi need to be in the Alberta Legislature? Is there ever a safe way for a politician to blame somebody else during a crisis? And why is Zain watching hockey when he's got to go out there and secure 83% of the vote? Zain Velji, as always, is here for half of the episode.

Corey Hogan and Stephen Carter discuss the joint media avail, the "Canadian scrum" and Furey's blaming of the Justin Trudeau Liberals for the walloping the Liberal Party of Newfoundland and Labrador received in a recent by-election. Should politicians be expected to jump in on disagreeable comments at press conferences? Is Furey in denial when he blames Trudeau for his troubles? And if the Oilers win the Stanley Cup, what does that foretell for Naheed Nenshi's prospects? Zain Velji, as always, picks the questions and keeps everybody in line.

Corey Hogan and Stephen Carter briefly discuss the latest numbers from the "Zain Velji for Leader" campaign from Pollara before turning their attention to Rishi Sunak's snap election call in the UK and the strategy of early debates. Why do the UK Conservatives look more surprised by the election call than Labour? Would Trudeau benefit from stealing Joe Biden's early debate strategy? And will Stephen Carter make 32:49 his ringtone? Zain Velji, as always, picks the questions and keeps everybody in line.
