About Insight Pints
From the publisher's feed
You can really get to know someone when you sit down with them and share a pint. Every day, people gather with a glass of their favourite brew to chat about life and the things happening around them.…
This inevitably leads to a political debate at some point in the evening. Forget internet comment sections and Twitter trolls. True discourse happens when people meet face to face and open up to one another. That’s where we come in. We will sit down (virtually until the pandemic ends) with members of Alberta’s political world and simply talk shop and see where the discussion goes. Our goal is to bring you insightful commentary directly from the source while getting to know what makes our political leaders tick. We reach out to both sides of the aisle to bring you multiple perspectives while digging into the current events that matter to Albertans. You may learn a thing or two about the person outside of the Legislature. You may even find a new favourite local beer to add to your collection. Regardless of your own leanings, we bring to you political discussion that you can both learn from and enjoy as if you were sitting at the table with us. Pour yourself a pint and join us tonight.
