Corey Hogan and Stephen Carter discuss the new Alberta transgender youth policies through the lens of three groups: Alberta NDP leadership hopefuls, Take Back Alberta and a non-profit with $50,000 to take a stand on this issue. Are the NDP walking into a UCP trap? Is this a time for a non-profit to act incrementally or revolutionarily? And what WhatsApp groups have Stephen been banned from? Zain Velji, as always, picks the questions and keeps everybody in line.

Episode 1282: Three rooms

Corey Hogan and Stephen Carter discuss the strategic possibilities of Danielle Smith's overwhelming endorsement at her leadership review before turning their attention to the final hours of the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election. Does the result mean Danielle Smith has a strengthened hand, one less excuse when things go wrong, or both? Is Harris' last-minute positivity strategy the wrong antidote to continued Trump rage? And is Stephen's latest prediction a dark sign of the apocalypse or a noble act of community service? Zain Velji, as always, picks the questions and keeps everybody in line.

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