    We're back!

This time we chat with a someone from the pro-LEAP side—Breach Media managing editor & Avi Lewis advisor Martin Lukacs.

    The 2019 lore that may decide today's NDP leadership race

    The federal NDP leadership race is on, and with the recently-harrowed federal party's strongest remaining power base right here in Alberta this may be a very Alberta-focused campaign. Former Alberta environment minister Shannon Phillips joins us on the pod to talk about the lore you'll need to understand this race—the lingering resentment over candidate Avi Lewis's attempt to introduce the LEAP manifesto at the 2019 Alberta NDP convention.

    Alberta's measles catastrophe

    In the grip of anti-vax culture and governed by an anti-vax premier, Alberta is now the site of the world's second-worst active measles outbreak, with more total cases than the entire United States of America. Former Alberta NDP health minister Sarah Hoffman joins us on the pod to discuss the causes of the outbreak and what the opposition thinks Alberta should be doing about it. Then, for a palate cleanser, a bit about Hoffman's new hobby as a stand-up comic. For more from The Progress Report, find us at theprogressreport.ca and bsky.app/profile/theprogressreport.ca.
