Political Traction

This week on the season finale of Political Traction, Amanda is joined by Steven Del Duca, a former Cabinet Minister and the MPP for Vaughan. He will speak to us about the Liberal Party’s loss in the last election, and its plans moving forward as the party begins rebuilding from the ground up. Then, in our final episode, we will highlight some of the biggest stories of the year that shaped the news and will continue to gain traction in 2019, by looking back at the legalization of cannabis, the death of NAFTA and the new USMCA deal we have in its stead, and the big blue political wave we’ve seen across Canada.

This week on the “Remembering 41” edition of Political Traction, Amanda is joined by Philippe Gervais, one of Navigator’s Principals in Montreal. He will speak to us about his professional experience with both Bush campaigns as a former advance staffer, right before he heads to D.C. for the state funeral for Bush 41. Then, we will look at the topics gaining traction this week, including Alberta Premier Notley’s announcement to cut oil production, and the First Ministers meeting taking place this Friday in Montreal.

This week, on the “No Quiet on the Western Front” edition of Political Traction, Amanda is joined by Alex Shiff, a senior consultant with Navigator’s Vancouver office. He explains the scandal that threatens to topple the delicate balance of power struck by the NDP and the Greens, and the referendum that could finally usher in proportional representation in British Columbia. Then, we look at the topics gaining traction this week, including the unlikely alliance between Premier Doug Ford and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as they join forces to save jobs in Oshawa, and face off over Francophone affairs.

Welcome to Political Traction. This week, we are joined by our insider Jeff Ballingall, the founder of Ontario Proud. He will unpack how he has used digital platforms to his advantage, and discuss what he has planned for the upcoming 2019 federal election. Then, we will take a spin through the news and unpack the outcome of the Calgary plebiscite and highlight our anticipations for the Fall Economic Statement.

On this week’s episode, we are joined by Navigator’s Executive Chairman Jaime Watt to discuss what works and what doesn’t in U.S. political campaign ads ahead of the national midterm elections on November 6. We will then dive into the news and unpack the public sentiments surrounding this week’s debate between Steve Bannon and David Frum, as well as former Canadian Governor General Adrienne Clarkson’s unexplainable expenses.
