Thoughts Cast We Can Make This Work Probably

The podcast where you get dirt on your hands, err, ears? Phone mic?

In the final part of Thoughts From Montréal 3, Pete spells out why he supports Québec independence, reacts to the results of the QS co-spokeswoman race (while drawing a very favorable comparison between its winner and a certain former Maine state senator), and talks about the impending trainwrech that is the 2024 US presidential election. There's also a live reveal at the end that you do not want to miss, especially if you like Québec French swear words.

If Pete sent you this podcast via Facebook, feel free to skip ahead to 35:29 and have a seat. He had the audience scoot over with their chairs and set up a seat for you.

The reaction at the end of the episode is inspired by a Tiktok that went viral during the NHL playoffs a few years back. You can find a detailed explanation (with auto-translated English subtitles that hilariously translate sacre as "coronation") here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBfiVshbADU

As usual, there's a Google Doc with all the stuff Pete mentioned here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1BlVIHHoSiegXQhPRANw1_dDcUrAcZfNgesCTdBU5kbk/edit?usp=sharing#WhiteWineProphecy

So you're a refugee of Trump

In this part, Pete talks about the leadup to and the first two days of the QS convention in November 2023, along with the protests against possible cuts to transportation funding in Montreal. He also talks about his struggles with the French language as he dives head first into a way more Francophone milieu (haha see what I did there?) than he's used to in his day-to-day life working in tech.

TL;DR: All hammer and no sickle makes for fashy time

In the first of a three part episode recorded in October-November 2023, Pete, Arjuna, and RoboG talk about Pete's ongoing involvement in Québec Solidaire, arguably the best left party in North America, as their election for co-spokeswoman approaches. He also discusses what happened to Cornel West's presidential campaign in the months after Thoughts From Montréal 2 came out, and spills some tea on a spinoff group of the Maine Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). This episode will leave your mouth watering for a poutine Québecoise from Chez Claudette as you move on to part 2, where he talks about meeting Ruba Ghazal (pictured in the thumbnail) for the first time at his local QS association meeting before the big convention in November.

This is not an episode of ThoughtsCast. Whatever you do, do not upload and then pretend it was an accident.
