A lot of Canadians who feel disenfranchised talk about how politicians are all the same. It doesn't matter if you vote Conservative or Liberal, because the end result is no different. In this first episode, Christine and Alex discuss how the parties differ on certain topics, but also how they can be surprisingly similar, and how that can lead to this idea of "both-sides-ism".
