The Strategists

You The People Article 4: Super Tuesday Preview Show

Corey Hogan and Stephen Carter discuss the strategy/tactic of "flooding the zone" - how it works, why it seems more common these days, and how it can be resisted by opposition parties - before turning to how to artfully pull out of a debate. Is frequent "flooding the zone" a consequence of more ideological politics? How do you avoid debates when people already know you're bad at them? And how much weaker is the Alberta NDP leadership contest with the loss of Gil McGowan and his 1964 energy? Zain Velji, as always, picks the questions and keeps everybody in line.

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

Episode 1302: Defying Gravity

Corey Hogan and Stephen Carter discuss the impending creation of municipal political parties in Calgary and Edmonton - the strategic considerations in setting them up, the tactics to position them for success and more. How do you create a new political party from scratch? What level of coordination can we expect to see between politicians - within cities and between cities? And when it comes to podcast hosting, do we think Justin Trudeau is more of an Annalise or a Zain? Zain Velji, as always, picks the questions and keeps everybody in line.
