  • Episode 972: Kenney Island
    Mar 7 2022

  • Episode 1807: Social distancing
    Jun 3 2024

    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.

  • Episode 1803: Stractics
    May 14 2024

    Corey Hogan and Stephen Carter discuss the strategy/tactic of "flooding the zone" - how it works, why it seems more common these days, and how it can be resisted by opposition parties - before turning to how to artfully pull out of a debate. Is frequent "flooding the zone" a consequence of more ideological politics? How do you avoid debates when people already know you're bad at them? And how much weaker is the Alberta NDP leadership contest with the loss of Gil McGowan and his 1964 energy? Zain Velji, as always, picks the questions and keeps everybody in line.

  • Episode 1302: Defying Gravity
    May 8 2024

    Corey Hogan and Stephen Carter discuss Pierre Poilievre's Memo to Corporate Canada calling on corporations to invest in persuading Canadians and disinvest in play-nice lobbying - and names names while doing so. Was Corporate Canada really the target audience? Does this mark big changes coming to the lobbying profession should Poilievre win? And can we hear more about Project Black? Zain Velji, as always, picks the questions and keeps everybody in line.
