No, we’re not getting an election — but we are getting drama. Shane Hewitt and Rob Breckenridge unpack a week of political gamesmanship in Ottawa, from floor crossings and budget brinkmanship to one MP who quit, stayed, and confused everyone.

Rob breaks down why crossing the floor isn’t always betrayal, why voters feel disconnected from the people they elect, and why transparency is everything when party lines shift. Then, a royal curveball: Prince Harry in a Dodgers cap at a Jays game. Was it baldness? Bad PR? Or a missed moment to show respect for a country that still subsidizes your legacy?

This episode mixes politics, royalty, and nostalgia — with a 1988 music throwback and a surprising admission about hip hop’s golden age.
