Political Traction

On this episode of Political Traction, Navigator Senior Consultants Travis Kann and Colin MacDonald join David to discuss Ontario MPP Jagmeet Singh’s recent election as leader of the federal New Democratic Party and what his selection means for Justin Trudeau and Andrew Scheer.

On this episode of Political Traction, David interviews Navigator’s Patricia Favre and Colin MacDonald about the ongoing war of words between Trump and Kim Jong-Un, Trudeau’s small business tax changes, and NAFTA negotiations.

This week on the podcast, David is joined by two of Navigator’s consultants, Morgan McLellan and Clare Schulte-Albert, to discuss Trump and Trudeau’s recent speeches to the UN General Assembly, Liberal reforms to Canada’s small business tax code, and Ontario’s recreational marijuana regulatory plan.

Political Traction returns this week with a panel discussion on the top political events of the summer. Navigator’s Will Stewart, Amanda Galbraith, and Jason Hatcher join David to talk about what they think most altered the political landscape and what we should look out for in the months ahead.

This week, Navigator Managing Principal, Jason Hatcher, talks to us about former-BC Premier Christy Clark’s resignation and what her exit from public life means for the BC Liberals, the province, and the West.

“What I anticipate we will be told at the end of the summer: there will be a narrative in the media that Andrew Scheer didn’t grab enough headlines, that he’s not introducing himself sufficiently to voters, that he’s an unknown quantity. And that’s not what Andrew Scheer should be doing at this time.” – Travis Kann

This week, Navigator’s Colin MacDonald, Travis Kann, and Lanny Cardow discuss Andrew Scheer’s selection as Conservative Party leader, James Comey’s testimony on Donald Trump and Russia, and the NDP-Green Party governing accord in British Columbia.
