Unpublished Politics

We're back! Tom and Forrest return from volunteering for local campaigns to reflect on the election and where the NDP and Conservatives go from here.

Also, Forrest tries his hand at comedy and Tommy breaks up big tech.

Steve, Tom and Forrest discuss that big scandal that just doesn't stop. Can Trudeau's government survive the SNC Lavalin Affair? Should it? And what are the politics of this moment in Canadian history.

Tom, Forrest and Steve finish off 2018 with a look at the worst/best elections of 2018, MPs who set the stage for dramatic turns in 2019, and how climate change is secretly Jim Watson's fault

Tommy, Forrest and Steve do a year-end breakdown of the best/worst year of all time. Join us as we return to those 2018 classics of energetic environmental debates (pipelines! So many pipelines!), illegal/irregular/to-be-determined border crossing, and First Ministers galore.

We return on Friday with the second half of our year-in-review.

In this contentious episode, tensions are high, and friendships are on the line. The team does a post-mortem on the BC's referendum on electoral reform. Tom comes out swinging against referendums, Forrest defends the Status Quo, and Steve argues things he doesn't believe in. Join us for our shortest episode yet.

Forrest, Steve and Tom discuss the politics and values behind BC's referendum on introducing electoral reform. How will a new voting system impact our politics, and what motivates both sides of the debate?

In this “Quick” Take, Tom and Forrest come back on air a week early to discuss (more) Current Political events. 

This week, Patrick Brown entered a leadership race for the Ontario Progressive Conservatives which was called after Brown himself was forced out of office in the wake of a #MeToo related scandal.  

Then we discuss an all white jury, acquitting a white farmer of all charges after shooting an Indigenous boy at point-blank range in the back of the head.  Was the verdict racist? What actions should be taken by our political leaders as a result? Forrest talks about changes within our courts, and Tom talks about societal change at large.

Free Speech: For Nazi's, or activists? What points and ideas go too far - or are there any? Forrest, Tom and Steve discuss how best to have a public conversation..
