Today, we have a 2-part pod. Part 1 is Jennifer Welsh. Jennifer’s CV is longer than my COVID-hair. So I’ll abbreviate it just a bit. She hails from Regina! Just like me. Unlike me, she is a Rhodes scholar, earning her Masters and Doctorate in International Relations from the University of Oxford. She is currently the Canada 150 Research Chair in Global Governance and Security and serves as the Director of the Centre for International Peace and Security Studies at McGill University. And so, today we are going to talk about Canada's place in the world.

Part 2 is our consistently entertaining, always gorgeous Political Panel. We’ve got Jenni Byrne coming to us by way of Jenni Byrne and Associates, by way of Doug Ford’s office, by way of Stephen Harper’s inner circle, by way of the Reform Party of Canada, by way of the Fenelon Falls IGA. Next to Jenni in his hazy yellow ZOOM square is Scott Reid: Principal at Feschuk-Reid communications, former Director of Communications to Paul Martin, senior advisor to many federal and provincial Liberal leaders, noted media commentator here on planet earth, as well as all across the multiverse. We’re gonna talk about a few things today:

• BC election roasts
• Doug Ford's authenticity 
• WE
• Trump
