Corey Hogan and Stephen Carter discuss a growing rebel faction within the Liberal caucus, and what each "side" needs to be doing now. How does a Prime Minister's Office deal with reports of rebellion? How do rebels keep momentum? And of all the gifts the magi could bring, is a change in Liberal leadership at this time the most cosmically ironic? Zain Velji, as always, picks the questions and keeps everybody in line.

Episode 1829: The pressure on Justin Trudeau elongates

Corey Hogan and Zain Velji debrief the 2024 U.S. Presidential election - the past (what happened), the present (what should Democrats be doing now) and the future (what this means for Canadian elections to come). Was Harris simply victims of a global anti-incumbency movement? Do early moves tell us we're in for a different kind of Trump presidency? And will the gang be able to keep the location of Stephen's trip to New Zealand secret for the entire time he's gone? Annalise Klingbeil asks the questions and demands answers.

Episode 1835: The cherry on the pie

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.

Episode 1834: Closeouts

Corey Hogan and Stephen Carter discuss the fizzled Liberal coup, a Pierre Poilievre policy announcement, the BC election results - all while watching and not getting results for the Saskatchewan election. Is there any additional chapter in the Liberal caucus rebellion, or is this the end of the book? Have campaigns forgotten how to matter? And what goes it with hitting .400 in baseball anyhow? Zain Velji, as always, picks the questions and keeps everybody in line.
