Corey Hogan and Stephen Carter discuss how Pierre Poilievre should address the Alberta Pension Plan proposal before turning their attention to the domestic consequences of Zelensky's visit and an increasingly heated dispute with India. Does the Canadian consensus on support for Ukraine mean there's less political "upside" of a state visit? Where are Canada's allies on the Indian affair? And after an 80-minute episode, how many quivers does Stephen have left in his bow? Zain Velji, as always, picks the questions and keeps everybody in line.

Episode 1255: All politics isn't local

Corey Hogan and Stephen Carter discuss proroguing Parliament - whether it's something Justin Trudeau could do, whether it would serve any purpose and what it would mean for all of the parties. Is prorogation a "circuit breaker" that would allow the government to a chance to reset? How could the Liberals sell it? And do we think Stephen would lower or raise his rate to run the Liberal campaign? Zain Velji, as always, picks the questions and keeps everybody in line.

Episode 1827: The Stephen Carter Model of Everything

Corey Hogan and Stephen Carter discuss Jagmeet Singh's "come at me" flex, the start of the BC election, the upcoming confidence vote that will barely be and irregular media circuits that see the Prime Minister on Colbert and Alberta Premier at a Rebel News conference.

Zain Velji, as always, picks the questions and keeps everybody in line.
