The Throne Back to Where We Were Episode
In this week’s episode, for federal politics, we talk about the Throne Speech that was for the governing Liberals. Were there any revelations or tea leaves to be read about the future of the Justin Trudeau government, we’ll discuss! For provincial politics, we dissect the United Conservative Party (UCP) Annual General Meeting (AGM) that took place at the (lovely) Grey Eagle Resort and Casino. We talk about how strong or not so strong Kenney’s hold on power is after the proxy leadership vote and the shenanigans of Brian Jean.
For DocReport this week, David read (with his eyes) the book Jews Don’t Count by David Baddiel, which examines the curious way that Jews are treated/thought-about versus other groups in society.
