In this candid episode of Shane Hewitt & The Nightshift, journalist Matt Gurney joins Shane to cut through the noise of Canadian politics. They dig into Button Gate, tribalism in modern discourse, and the deeper truth that politics isn’t just strategy or a game—it’s about real Canadian lives.

Matt reflects on our human need to belong, and how that instinct is fueling increasingly divisive political “teams.” It’s a sharp, honest look at what’s at stake—and why we can’t afford to treat politics like a game.
