No, we didn't die, it just felt that way with this election campaign. We're back again with our highlights, lowlights, and a prediction of the outcomes and tricks and treats we can expect from the election today. 

Deirdre and Robbie are joined by lawyers Ishat Reza and Humera Jabir to discuss Quebec's Bill 21 - the so-called "religious symbols" bill that restricts the wearing of religious symbols in Quebec's public sector.

A cabal of stale, pale, and male journalists share their thoughts on politics in Canada. Some hits, some miss, all entertaining. We look at the collection of five op-eds from the last week of August. 

The UCP Government has been using "expert" panels galore to inform some of its more contentious policy decisions. We dig into the details of why.

Robbie & Deirdre discuss the topic of conversion therapy which has been making news at all three levels of government recently. We discuss what the practice is, how it affects people, where it is being practiced, and why it's newsworthy, as well as responses by the federal, provincial, and municipal governments.

Robbie & Deirdre go head to head on the Federal Ethics Commissioner's report on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's violation of the Conflict of Interest Act and look at whether he got it right, how PMJT could have escaped more unscathed, and what this means for the election. We also touch on partisan accountability and Charles Adler.

Jason Kenney promised to raise the level of decorum in the Legislature. So why are MLAs wearing earplugs during debates? He also promised to renew investor confidence, but we've seen him tear up numerous contracts, and cause a world-leading AI company to withhold investment in Calgary's downtown core.

We discuss the role of traditional and new media in political discourse and why there may be an erosion of trust with mainstream media. We talk about two significant retractions from Global News and a massive lapse in truth from Calgary Herald columnist Rick Bell.

We discuss the re-re-approval of the TMX Pipeline and who wins and who loses with a look at the outcome from the perspective of environmentalists, the BC NDP, Prime Minister Trudeau, Alberta, Indigenous objectors, and the BC Green Party.
