Corey Hogan and Stephen Carter discuss a questionable investment in a Canada Day poll before giving the bulk of their attention to the chaos south of the border. Is it time for Joe Biden to retire? Has the Supreme Court just turned the American President into an American King? And why don't the media care about the dissolution of our country? Zain Velji, as always, picks the questions and keeps everybody in line.

The Strategists

Episode 1812: Focus and Legacy

Corey Hogan and Stephen Carter discuss challenges - explicit, implicit and accidental - to Justin Trudeau's leadership, and Trudeau's decision to skip the Calgary Stampede. Has a bunker mentality set in at the PMO? Do attempts at caucus management risk making the caucus unmanageable? And why did none of the gang make a joke about the Flair Airlines Stampede Party serving half glasses of ginger ale and tiny pretzels? Zain Velji, as always, picks the questions and keeps everybody in line.

Episode 1813: Cowboy cowardice

Corey Hogan and Stephen Carter discuss the results of the Toronto-St.Paul's byelection. How big of a deal is this? Is there a path forward for Justin Trudeau? What does it mean for Pierre Poilievre and Liberal leadership hopefuls? And how many Douglas mattresses will be sold as a consequence of this episode? Zain Velji, as always, picks the questions and keeps everybody in line.

Episode 1811: Secondary losers

Corey Hogan and Stephen Carter discuss the Alberta NDP leadership results, lopsided leadership races and what the still-being-counted results in Toronto-St. Paul's mean for Justin Trudeau and Pierre Poilievre. When a result looks like it's going to skew heavily to one candidate, why do other candidates run? Do the Liberals win the expectations game if they squeak out a victory? And at Zain's Strategists Accountability Session, will we get to discuss the many ways he is like the Florida Panthers organization? Zain Velji, as always, gets distracted by songs about himself.
