Today’s episode takes on a political landscape that’s getting stranger by the hour. Jim and Iain break down another Conservative MP crossing the floor, Liberal efforts to secure power without an election, and growing questions around foreign interference. We look at Ottawa’s bonus-and-break season, CUSMA tensions with Mexico, and why Canada keeps hitching itself to a shaky EU. From pipeline and carbon capture pushback to blocked investigations into fraud and incompetence, the pattern is hard to ignore. Add in real estate turmoil, separatist momentum in Alberta, BC politics putting Eby under a national spotlight, global pressure points from Trump to Maduro, and AI threatening traditional classrooms — and it’s clear the stakes keep rising. A packed show with no shortage of uncomfortable questions.
