Andrew Caddell and Jimmy Zoubris open with the small gestures that keep relationships strong, before shifting to one of the flattest federal budgets in memory. Despite massive spending, clarity and direction were missing. Ministers stumbled in interviews, talking points fell apart, and even opposition parties couldn’t muster real fire. It’s not just a communication fail — it’s a vision vacuum.ndrew and Jimmy dissect what went wrong and what that silence says about the state of Canadian politics.

Part 2: When an MP changes parties mid-term, who pays the price — the politician, the party, or the people? In this Friday Roundup, Jimmy Zoubris and Andrew Caddell weigh in on the ethics, costs, and traditions behind floor crossing in Canadian politics.

Shane challenges the panel with a bold proposal: mandatory by-elections for any party switch. That sparks debate over precedent, political legacy, and whether voters choose people or parties. Plus, a surprising connection between Winston Churchill, the Montreal Expos, and municipal budgets.
