Zain Velji

Corey Hogan and Stephen Carter use Steve Clark quitting as Ontario Municipal Affairs and Housing Minister to talk about the politics of resignations - when the help, when the hurt, and the rules that help you split the two cases apart - before turning their attention to the federal scene to give summer report cards to Trudeau, Poilievre and Singh. Can Premier Ford now put his greenbelt woes behind him? Did Singh show up this summer? And who brought the biggest wuncle energy to the show?

It’s the night before the Alberta election. Corey Hogan and Stephen Carter do what strategists do when there’s nothing left to do: rate the campaign’s highlights and lowlights, make predictions, second guess the data, and try to figure out what it all means. Are campaigns better equipped to read a race than pollsters? Does advance voting skew left and will it result in an “orange mirage”? And why does Annalise keep asking the audience’s questions? Zain Velji, as always, isn't here.

Corey Hogan and Stephen Carter discuss the leaders’ debate in the 2023 Alberta election and an ethics commissioner ruling that hangs over it all. Did either leader do what they needed to do to be declared a “winner”? Will Danielle Smith be able to buffalo her way out of consequences for a damning ethics ruling? And who doesn’t love a blue blazer? Zain Velji, as always, isn't here. But Annalise Klingbeil is, and she's got you covered.
