The Boys, as they say, are back in the city after not being there. After a summer of wacky hijinx, Roger and Dave return to assess the hot garbage fire that is current world politics.

Then the lads get control of themselves and discuss a little politics.

Questions we ask include (but are not limited to):

What is the city trying to accomplish in reviewing livery by-laws?

Are Progressives struggling with the fact that not absolutely everything Jason Kenney is doing is disastrous as they imagined?

Which party will hold the balance of power in our federal government should voters return a minority gov't this Fall?

Ready, Set, Joust!

Welcome to Week 10 of the National Talky League. The Alberta Election is in the rear view mirror, and things begin to return to normal, whatever that means. Roger and Dave tackle the serious issues, including clamshell packaging, economic councils, and the true meaning of the 80's standard "Maniac".

If you're looking for strong opinions, loosely held, you've come to the right place. This is the National Talky League.

It's week 9 of the National Talky League. The questions we ponder this week include:

Are Calgary's new street cleaning signs designed to help the city raise revenue?

Could the UCP float a PST as early as Y2Q1? (Sooner than later?)

Can the Liberals rely on Canadians to forget about their scandals and vote for Trudeau in the Fall.

The election is in the rearview now. Roger and Dave discuss the rising tide of conservatism in Canada and the lessons progressives must learn if they want to take back the province.

Dave spent some time running numbers and different outcomes for the election and the insights are remarkable... or not, depending on how legit you thought the NDP government was in the first place.

The Alberta Election is done and dusted. Here's the Play by Play from Roger and Dave!.

Welcome back to Week 6 of the National Talky League.
