    Episode 972: Kenney Island
    Mar 7 2022
    Corey Hogan and Stephen Carter talk Jason Kenney's upcoming leadership review. Has a balanced budget and high price of oil helped Kenney? Is 2900 registrants (and counting) for the vote a worrying sign? And has there ever been a segment more likely to get Stephen Carter cancelled than "Sweet Nothings"?

    Episode 1813: Cowboy cowardice
    Jul 5 2024

    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 1810: Wisdom from the sidelines
    Jun 25 2024

    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.
