On today’s episode, we start by discussing how India’s air pollution index significantly understates just how polluted the country really is. We then turn to the Federal Conservative Party, where a toxic internal atmosphere has led to a floor crossing and, tragically, left MP Jamil Jivani without a Secret Santa gift. We also break down the MOU between the Government of Canada and the Province of Alberta on a proposed bitumen pipeline and how it has put conservatives in a bind. In B.C. politics, we congratulate ourselves for correctly predicting Rustad’s exit as leader of the B.C. Conservative Party and the not-so-subtle rise of federal MP Aaron Gunn as his potential replacement. Meanwhile, internationally, Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro appears to be turning to karaoke diplomacy as he stares down the possibility of an American invasion.
